About Sv 98
-
Since it calls twice at Jurong Port Rd (Jurong Port), Jln Tepong, Fishery Port Rd, Jln Buroh (Opp Abattior). How does passenger recongise which is which? There are no plates like 155
Also, Sv 78 is going to call twice at Pandan Rd (Bet Pandan Ave to Jln Buroh - Western side)? -
somehow they can recognise it. i used to go there once for a job interview and when i was going back from jurong port rd i had no problems recognising tat i can't take an earlier bus tat came (tat was going to jurong island) but the next bus. i can't remember, but i think they used the IN/OUT front panel card system.Originally posted by sbst275:Since it calls twice at Jurong Port Rd (Jurong Port), Jln Tepong, Fishery Port Rd, Jln Buroh (Opp Abattior).

there are no pair of bus stops at Pandan Rd between Pandan Ave and Jln Buroh. -
They used the red and white plate system on the side. That's how they recognise which direction
-
Then why do 139 & 155 have an extra set of plates? Aren't IN & OUT cards enough as in the case of services originating from STM Terminal?
-
For services 139 and 155, cannot use the "In" and "Out" cards. For example, service 139 passengers along Jln Bahagia, when they see the "Out" card, they will be confused: Out to where? Toa Payoh? Bt Merah? That's why the buses have an extra side desto at the front to indicate where they are terminating, instead of using the "In" and "Out" cards.Originally posted by iveco:Then why do 139 & 155 have an extra set of plates?

For services terminating at St. Michael's, beside the "In" and "Out" cards, they also use red and white side destos. -
I don't remember service 98 using the red and white plates system.Originally posted by service_238:They used the red and white plate system on the side. That's how they recognise which direction
What I saw was top-white bottom-red side desto. -

I dont remember 124, 131 or 186 having any desto plate in front. As for 98, it has a white desto plate on its return journey but no extra plate in front.Originally posted by tranquilice:I don't remember service 98 using the red and white plates system.

SMRT doesn't have such worries. The front EDS displays the desto at one glance. Wonder when SBST will learn. -

Just to add, it's a "In" and "Out" plate which is much smallerOriginally posted by tranquilice:These services do not have side destos in front. -
May I know which SMRTB services call a place twice other than at Kranji? Do you know how much is it to maintain a EDS plate in good working condition? The tridents already have problems as of damages by the roadsOriginally posted by iveco:SMRT doesn't have such worries. The front EDS displays the desto at one glance. Wonder when SBST will learn. -
Svc 961C at marina square.
Anyway, SMRT's EDS appears to be working fine AFAIK. -
Because that's single deck. Double deck has a lot of problems, you see the tridents, masking tapes are placed at the EDS up upstairsOriginally posted by iveco:Svc 961C at marina square.

sv 315 and 317 also use the in/out system @ S'goon Gdns

What abt 170? Does 170X goes all the way to Queen St?
Then CW1 is like 170? Serving 2 terminals? So frequency is 10 mins on bth sides? -
170X (Blue Plate) terminates at Kranji Stn, according to the svc 170 service guide.Originally posted by sbst275:What abt 170? Does 170X goes all the way to Queen St?

The Blue Plated freq is more than twice as good as the red plated freq (the one that goes to Queen St). -
No, frequency for 170X is 4 mins while 170 is abt 10 minsOriginally posted by leeJZ:170X (Blue Plate) terminates at Kranji Stn, according to the svc 170 service guide.

CW1 is 5-6 mins, but in actual fact, it is 10-12 mins as it will split into Larkin and JB Bandaraya. -
Are you sure? It looks very misleadingOriginally posted by gynobcard:sv 315 and 317 also use the in/out system @ S'goon Gdns
For 315, it is either Serangoon Nth or Serangoon Int
For 317, it is either Berwick Dr or Serangoon Int
Only 73, 136 does not uses plates as it is only 1 bus stop that bth rts meet. BC also slow down as well. -
yes they do useOriginally posted by sbst275:Are you sure? It looks very misleading

315 and 317 use IN/OUT now.
Actually in the past (last time used to be 217), at the very beginning stage when Serangoon Int just opened. 217 used those "green" plate and "white" plate. "green" plate goes Serangoon Garden Estate while "white" plate goes Serangoon Int. The bus driver get down the bus to change the plate when they are inside Serangoon Garden Estate.
On raining day, they carry umbrella down the bus to change the plate. -
You mean those small plates?Originally posted by SBST390:yes they do use
Then 315 case will be like 139. In and Out to where? Serangoon Nth or Serangoon Int?
317 still can, in is to the estate, out is to Int, it is understood though -
315 IN is towards S'goon NthOriginally posted by sbst275:You mean those small plates?

315 OUT is toward S'goon Int.
PERIOD. -
Just to add.. For us we may understand, but dun expect normal passengers to understand as bth 315 are going "Out" from Serangoon Gardens Way Circus(Which is true in some sense)Originally posted by SBS9818A:315 IN is towards S'goon Nth
315 OUT is toward S'goon Int.
PERIOD. -
315 "S'goon Nth Ave 4" card
315 "S'goon Int" card
317 "B'wick Dr" card
317 "S'goon Int" card
73 Red plate - AMK
73 White plate - TPY
136 Red Plate - PUN
136 White Plate - AMK
73 and 136 doesnt have additional side desto plates on the front windscreen, cos the driver will definitely stop at the circus for alighting at least.
St Michael's IN = Into st michael's estate - green card white text
St Michael's OUT = out of st michael's estate - white card green text
period. -
Somehow I think you are a walking contradiction.Originally posted by sbst275:No, frequency for 170X is 4 mins while 170 is abt 10 mins
Didn't LeeJZ say that the frequency of 170X is twice as good as 170? So what are you trying to imply with you above statement?
