9006B on bus 21. -
These 2 incidents happened a few days ago. bus 969 make a turn to seletar camp , Jln Kayu with a lot of shocking looking passengers. Apparently this driver shouldn't have turned in Jln Kayu. Bus 8 driver driving along bedok reservoir road heading towards Tampines missed the turn that leads to Tamasek poly and as a result, he had to carry on driving until he turned right just near the safra's junction continuing her normal route to tampines. A lot of shocked passenger's faces as well.

Why would I want to do anything to 88? The demand is very healthy. Only complain is that sometimes buses are quite packed, 88 should be fully double deck
Let me warn you first. You'd better [b]NOT do anything to my Sv. 88 by giving feedback to SBST. You'll make an enemy for life if you do so.[/b] -

Sometimes if our reasons are reasonable and true (Honesty). Not just us as wellOriginally posted by Airbus330Captain:Let's be nice ok ? Do you think SBST really give a damn about our feedback ?
I put 1 example
Sv 85 and 119
Under pressure, they came with 119... Otherwise, they won't bother at all. -
88 got nothing to complain about, plenty of DDs with very good freq.
That 969 driver must have been transferred from 858 and as for that Svc 8 driver, probably been doing stuff like 65

I'm not happy that they deploy quite a significant amt of single decks on 88 when demand is highOriginally posted by leeJZ:88 got nothing to complain about, plenty of DDs with very good freq.

Not really significant, a couple of Mk4s and the odd Merz.Originally posted by sbst275:I'm not happy that they deploy quite a significant amt of single decks on 88 when demand is high -
Yes, they do care. Although most of the time it ends up in the bin.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Let's be nice ok ? Do you think SBST really give a damn about our feedback ? -

A service 285 Mk3 did not turn left from West Coast Rd into Clementi Ave 2 (towards Clementi interchange), instead it went straight. The driver, after committing his mistake, turned right into Clementi West St 2 (the stretch near Ginza Plaza) to continue back to the normal route, but what he did was an illegal right turn as heavy vehicles are prohibited to use that right turn, and I was right, the bus went up the kerb. I guess some pax waiting for service 282 along Clementi West St 2 may be shocked to see a service 285 bus in the opposite direction. -

............
Whitley Rd
Aft Tanglin CC/Raffles Town Club pair
Dunearn Rd
SCGS pair Swiss Cottage Pri Sch pair Bef Goldhill Ave (tis bus stop wasn't there then) Anglo-Chinese Sch/City Towers pair Chancery Ct/Balmoral Plaza Newton Circus pair
Newton Rd Newton Stn pair Environment Bldg/Hotel Asia pair
Scotts Rd Far East Plaza/Royal Plaza pair
.........
it also plied Esplanade Dr/Bridge. in 2000, svcs 501 & 508 are the other svcs to use the bridge, and of the 3 svcs, only 501 stopped at the bus stop opposite the then-under-construction Esplanade Theatres.
i supposed it skipped more bus stops than now when it originated from Woodlands before this, when it was introduced sometime in late 1998/1999. anyone knows? -

On the topic of 700, should it not operate on weekends? The only important part of its route is the Shenton Way sector, as Orchard Rd (190) and Marina Center / Bukit Timah (960) are already covered.
