Best is to use ez-link card as you can have free transfer with either service when crossing over to checkpoint
Like
170 - 160 - 170
160 - 170 - 160
It will be free rebates ($0.63)
*Look out for 170. If you want to go Larkin, make sure you take the red one
If you take 950, wait long long... If you missed it, you have to wait for at least 8 mins... 160/ 170 combination is 1 - 4 mins -
okay den wad abt sje...e costs & etc??

BTW, who wants to go to Woodlands Checkpoint nia?
Anyway, 950 loading is not that good as SBS
tamago, not just YCK, YIS or WDL... Entire NSL got SBS poster on their better service -

Why donT LTA built a Bus Terminal At kranji ?? Called Kranji Bus terminal or something.. thIS way, CW1, 170 and 160 can all terminate over there..

Remember the Government proposal to KTMB to shift their Tanjong Pagar Station to Kranji? A bus terminal might be build there, something like Kranji Transportation Hub. Although this was not mentioned in the papers, it might just happened.Originally posted by sBs_boy:Why donT LTA built a Bus Terminal At kranji ??

It is extremely premature to say that SMRT 950's loading is not as good as SBST's 160 or 170. Bear in mind that it is not even the second day of operation and you are making that assumption.Originally posted by sbst275:No wonder it is not popular now, it is more expensive

The SBST 160/170 combo poster was also put up at Tanah Merah MRT busstop. -
160 is murder to take...
the bus barely gets out of 2nd gear...
will try the yellow bus when it starts from Jurong East.. if it's express, it's even better!

There was no passenger waiting at the quaratine area for passengers for 950. While there are 40 - 45 passengers at SBS side -

any possibility of having a bus route that operates via second link? because from those cameras during news time u'll notice that causeway quite packed at times while 2nd link about 40% of the time half empty.. though i know going to kotaraya and larkin will take extra time from 2nd link. perhaps another bus route from jurong east passing through boon lay interchange and tuas terminal before going through the tuas checkpoint? it'll benefit residents there and people who work in the tuas industrial area, and perhaps also ntu students. -
malaysian bus 262 goes from Tuas to wherever in malaysia right?

But, it will not call at any bus stop in Singapore as it is a Malaysian bus... So workers at Tuas, still have to go to Jurong East or Kranji -
Larkin... But stops at the checkpoint onlyOriginally posted by the Bear:malaysian bus 262 goes from Tuas to wherever in malaysia right? -
cheaper yes..
but for a few cents, the yellow bus drives like the lunatic malaysian buses, rather than be overtaken by a snail in the 160, i think it's worth it!Originally posted by sbst275:Fares to and from

I really dont get it.. i thought SMRTB is already running shortage of buses for its fleet.. ?? so.. where in the hell did SMRTB got all those xtra buses for the 950 JB-Woodlands route.. ?? (heard that it takes SBST round 60-70 buses to run the 170 route..) Where do they find all the buses.. ?? Weird.... its not from CSS.. as i saw 0405 being deployed there and nt ex-CSS buses... when i was there that day... over at Woodlands.....
