By deploying the latest MAN NL323F A22 to likely compliment (or replace) the Mercedes Benz OC500LEs, it's a pretty good move.credits to bis

too many clones nowadays
and when did they come into SGF?

Actually you can walk along the causeway I think...but that's for the past(Not sure about now). I've seen many gave up on queuing 170/160 and ended up walking from Wdl CIQ to JB CIQ. In the past, waiting for 170 can be long.
There's also a gate there. But I don't think there would be anyone interested to walk in now, given the fact that 160/170/950 can reach the JB fast and the frequency is still acceptable(on average).

Seriously if you backpacked and you got so much barang barang to bring, you wanna walk out to that bus-stop when 950 is just below the check-out point?
I will still walk out~
Anyway, most of 950 passengers are really lazy. They aren't much carrying any heavy backpacks nor holding any "barangs", regardless towards JB or towards Wdl Int. Probably out of 10 people, only 2-4 people are carrying for most of the time.

To be honest horh~ walking in to JB is seriously dangerous (: Tried walking in once last time, can see many people simply just cut across the road at JB Ckpt. Somemore, with all the Malaysian Trucks/Buses fuels, the air is simply "tak boleh tahan" one~
So did BIS even tell you this? Or he's just monkey see monkey do?
-
Anyway~ I wonder if there's any U-turn area at JB Checkpoint? Remembered TIB449Y came over from Woodlands Int on 950, with pax, dropped them at JB CIQ and somewhat u-turned back to the pick-up point back to Woodlands. It was at the sawtooth berth, or coach pick-up area I think.

Really wish the Volgrens won't come back to 965. What is given should not be returned, especially if this return stops 965 from getting MANs.

After attempting to take 950 from Malaysia back to SG and failing to do so, ending up on 170 instead, I can only say that 950 is one seriously f*cked up service that is never there when you need it.
Really what is the point of 950 when 160, 170 do a better job at clearing the crowd and then I can always take 911, 178 etc if I want to go to WRI?
The same story for NR6 and SBST 6N, after experiencing so much crappy service from the former that got even WORSE, I figured this was another hopeless service and I'll be happier taking cab if there's people splitting the cost, or taking 6N on festive seasons.
How many complaints have there been on nightriders going wrong way?
Go figure.
Desmond Kwek was right in saying the entire management of SMRT either was non-existent or just f*cked up. And the attitude goes all the way down to the SLs.
I took 854 a couple of weeks ago at night and despite people flagging for the bus at least 3 stops, the BC never bothered even to slow down and stop!
Seriously wtf is wrong with this company?
I second to that.
I took 950 last year on the Saturday before Christmas. I was queuing up at Woodlands Checkpoint waiting for the bus to bring me to the Malaysian Customs. As it was very crowded, I only managed to get on the 3rd bus.
From my berth, I can really see the difference in SBS Transit and SMRT in terms of their service standard. For 950, the wait can go up to 20 mins in between buses. There is just 1 SMRT staff manning the berth and his or her duty is to just take down the plate numbers of the buses that just pass by.
In contrast, SBS Transit is much more organised. They drive the bus into the berth and align the exit door to it. The Bus Captain then opens both the front and exit doors for passengers to board, unlike SMRT, where the Service Leader aligns the entrance door to the berth and there is only 1 door for passengers to board from. There are 3 SBS Transit staff stationed at the berth. 1 will take down the plate number of the buses that pass by, 1 will stand by the entrance door and the last one by the exit door. When the bus is packed to the brim, the two staff at the doors will hit the body of the bus, signalling to the bus driver to close the door and to move off. The whole boarding process took less than a minute. SMRT's took 3 mins or so, with the Service Leader shouting for passengers to move to the rear very rudely.
Seriously SMRT, wake up your idea!

You know the difference in time for loading factor? It is not the issue that there is not enough buses or the buses are old

the JB MAN should have a old reader. some JB MAN with old reader.

eh... As far as I know, not many backpack travellers do take 950, as compared to 170... for some reason... In reality, most people would just walk out via WTCP to Woodlands Centre... not many ppl take 170 or 950 for 1 or 2 bus stop.. I think many ppl can't even figure out how come 856 can be so crowded bet WRI & WTCP bus stop in the evening... many ppl just decide to take 856, walk in and queue for whatever bus that's available... 950 will fly stop at Marsiling, can forget abt flagging for 950...
