The 'Elite' Bus Route...what's your choice?
-
If you could make a difference and give a particular bus route 'elite status' i.e. best buses and models, top priority. super high frequency, adding special perks like larger TV mobile screens, public telephone service etc....which route would it be? give your reasons.
-
there is no such thing as an elite bus route... remember it is a personal preference... your meat may be my poison...
kindly refrain from such remarks -
BNDEP feeders are some sort of "elites" in that they use high-performance CRBs. 225 has a full fleet of them.Originally posted by SilverKris:If you could make a difference and give a particular bus route 'elite status' i.e. best buses and models, top priority. super high frequency, adding special perks like larger TV mobile screens, public telephone service etc....which route would it be? give your reasons.
SMRT svcs wiv Habits or SBST ones wiv VO3X can qualify too. -

aren't many of the topics here about individual preferences like all the fantasy topics?
kindly refrain from such remarks
i fail to see how these remarks are offensive...especially to you judging from your tone. your hostility is strange. don't like the topic, just move on then.
of course i know there is no such thing as an official 'elite bus route' which is why I asked "IF" you have a choice.
And of course I know it's a matter of personal preference...which is why I asked for "your choice".
Your meat, my poison...there is no right or wrong answer to this. I don't think you or anyone in their right minds expect every single reader here to agree with you or other people's choice.
u think u some big gangster trying to boss people around ah? only u can tok others can't tok har?
Understand? -
IMO :
12 (full of newer VO3X)
14 (full of newer VO3X)
25 (VSO galore)
56 (got full DD fleet of VSOs)
81 (good fleet for a suburb service)
86 (has a good number of 3rd gen VO3X)
88 (3rd gen VO3X galore!)
107 (lots of VO3Xs, esp newer ones)
162 (had full fleet of Mk4 DM3500 for awhile)
168 (good fleet)
198 (good fleet, good freq)
291 (gets VO3Xs while a similar load 293 doesnt) -
Service 190: 8 Mins freq, Almost full bendy fleet, Great route, and best of all, links CCK to the city area. GREAT 190.

I prefer SBS 190Originally posted by SBS9845X:Service 190: 8 Mins freq, Almost full bendy fleet, Great route, and best of all, links CCK to the city area. GREAT 190. -
I prefer the OLD 85... SengKang to HarbourFront.. HAiz.. hope that they bring it back..
-
I don't take buses that frequently these days, but my choice would be 7 (Clementi-Bedok). All VSOs please!!
-
Hmm... I would like 187 to be elite... so high demand but still has UDs on it??!!
-
Yes....it go to Great World City also.....Originally posted by sBs_boy:I prefer the OLD 85... SengKang to HarbourFront.. HAiz.. hope that they bring it back..
at least they can make it start from Harbourfront and loop at orchard?.....because the NEL does not cover this part at all.....
Or maybe it can start from Sengkang and then like last time 501 like that.....go CTE to Orchard(maybe can go along Upp Serangoon Road until Braddell Road or PTE/CTE interchange there, then enter CTE), then continue on the prev route to Harbourfront....charge normal fare......those 969, 168 all go express but still charge normal fare mah.....at least give pple at least another alternative than NEL......... their situation so bad until must kill ALL the CTE routes and force pple to take NEL??
then will have direct bus from Upp Serangoon Road to Dhoby Ghaut/Orchard.... -
I want my TIBS 865 back.Originally posted by sBs_boy:I prefer the OLD 85... SengKang to HarbourFront.. HAiz.. hope that they bring it back..
Lifeline:
860> 865> 85 > Withdrawn > 119
119/860: Sengkang to Hougang St 21 (loop)
865/85: Sengkang to HarbourFront
860 was extended and renumbered 865.
865 became SBS service after SBS won NEL tender.
865 was renumbered 85.
85 was withdrawn in the 2nd phase Network Rationalisation.
a lot of complains and needed to cope with 136 load, so 119 was born.
Correct me if I am wrong. -
Bus deployments are limited by the constraints and available resources. Bus companies can't go about pleasing commuters with their preferred bus models.Originally posted by smrt_950:Hmm... I would like 187 to be elite... so high demand but still has UDs on it??!!
