It's good to ride on the bendies and OCs, or even sometime Lances on 854.

854 doesnt seem to drive fast....comparative to the other SMRT svcs...The 25 buses that go fast go at hair-raising speeds. I still remember how 7888K went from 0 to 60 in record time.
I've yet to have taken an 854 that goes anywhere as fast.
I'd never taken SBS7888K before...

Can try waiting for it in Ang Mo Kio interchange at around 1.30pm, but the timing is a few weeks back. Not sure has it changed...
Frankly i chose certain SMRT buses over SBST buses for certain routes.25 crawl during off peak but peak hours seems to be quite fast.The young BCs tend to skip bus stops if the bus are packed unlike certain BCs who still enter bus bays despite sardine packed.854 tend to crawl IF the SLs spot service 25 ahead of them(1-2 bus stops away).Ever encountered 1 bendy crawl when he see a 25 DD infront of him from Changi Rd all the way till Hougang,The results less peoples take 854 and upon reaching YCK Rd he sped all the way to Yishun.Funny sia these type of drivers
I prefer Bt Batok Depot take back Bt Batok Svc excluding 852 and CCK Svc excluding 925 and Kranji Depot to be a bus park for SBST.SMRT can take Eunos excluding 61,Sims Place,11 and 175 plus certain Upper East Coast svc.195 can also goes to SMRT.Kallang there got empty land to built a multi storey depot(Former Gas werk) or Kallang Bahru factory.This way they can save the trouble off service from WLDEP/AMDEP to eastern or town area.They can control Marina Ctr for 75(partial with WLDEP),171(with AMDEP),960(WLDEP),Lor 1 Terminal,Shenton Way for 970,Harbourfront for 188/855/963 and RWS8 for RWS.Let SBST control Bt Batok and CCK.BBDEP control BBT,CLE and Kent Ridge.Kranji Bus Park joint control BBT,Full control CCK and cross border svs like 160/170.ARBP control Ghim Moh,Buona Vista,Bt Merah and Harbourfront.

I rather have 11 175, 195 and Eunos services stay with SBST. SMRT already do not have enough buses and BCs. But I agree let them give up Bukit Batok and Chua Chu Kang or Yishun services for more resources being push back to the north for better frequncies and introduce 1 or 2 new trunk and 1 feeder service for Sembawang.

This seems to be very confusing! Stop all your takeover fantasies!
