Forty-five minutes waiting for an SBS bus which once boarded was filled over capacity, 50 minutes stuck in traffic and another 45 minutes to proceed through security. Leaving was even worse - it took three hours to get back to my hotel." by Neal Jones
Its SMRT; not SBS! This letter is spoiling the reputation of SBS Transit!
even the official website mention that SBST is operating the Expo shuttle. -

and the kind of buses Tong Tar has...it would be good if they use their SC Elites/Evolutions, but they seem to have a lot of Merc OFs and OHs. -
expensive men.....

Think got 1 more Premium to NTU from Boon Lay... wonder wat's the fare
-
Unless they have a better frequency, few will take.
The NTU Internal shuttle is also operated by Tong Tar. The buses is extremely infrequent. Most of the time, wait 20min in peak hours, then a bus will come packed to the door. So many people resort to 179 if they're heading the same direction instead of waiting for the shuttle!

Yep, SMRT should not clean their buses. See how long can they tahan their own actions. Without reflection on their part they will never change.Singaporeans.

Actually to tell the truth, STOMPers are 3-year old kids. All of them.You can get what I mean just by looking at the number of defamatory and baseless comments they have on SMRT and SBST.

Okie guys, after feedback from other members of the forum, we don't want our press releases thread to end up being a press releases thread for STOMP or SPH. This thread should really be a consolidation of all the press releases and service change notices by the bus companies. For news and online posted articles about buses, please put them at http://www.sgforums.com/forums/1279/topics/311719. Thanks all for the feedback.

But Service 3 does need DDs during peaks. And one of the comments that it is empty at noon isn't really true. From Tampines to Punggol, the loading is not bad, especially from Tampines to Pasir Ris. -
