I agree bro. That would be ideal!
Originally posted by BusAnalayzer:Few years back?? Why not talk current? Few years back 45, 52 had horrible frequency. Why don't you whine about that too? If now you say, it is not bad, then on what basis you say SBST managing 66 is catastrophic. You have just gotten into the habit of arguing over here, without using much brains. And then you even have the audacity to call others names.
Ohhh... Looks like somebody is angry...
It's really pathetic of you trying to argue such a small matter, without looking at the big picture.
I have said there is improvement anyways. Did you not see that? FYI 66 is still considerably horrific now, just not as bad as before (no more missing buses, but still peak freq can be 15 mins sometimes)
So what I am TRYING to show you is the potential options we have besides 160 and 170. If you think about it, there are at least a dozen other choices that only uses SDs and they pose as less risky guinea pigs than 160 and 170.
After all, SMRT really deserves to have less of profitable services, since it has failed to be able to manage of such, don't they?
Ok I will take back 66 on being catastrophic. I wish to argue 66 no further. But seriously? I hope you realise the severity of your daring arrangement and that there are other solutions to it.
And are you sure I have a habit? I only like to rebut what is said without much brains. If an apology is what you want for strong words, I apologise. But get ready for some of these in the net, and mine are not the worse yet. You try go to the HK forums, I assure you your mother gets "fucked" everyday.

They might...
All these SMRT buses flooded with all of them going into almost the same places. Even LTA may consider agreeing SMRT to withdraw 160 and 170X, since it kinda duplicates and stuff. Forcing the current commuters to change to 950.
Coz if you think about it, why would SMRT want to operate a cross border from SBST territory?
And this relates to service standards again.
It's just a vicious cycle. Even if the services don't get withdrawn (which I think they won't most probably, I was just stating a mere example), they may get less considerable management and thus worse freq. That's SMRT for you.
Please lock the topic. Punggol to SMRT?Better dont..Amdep cannot take in already.
You can anyhow run the services in Singapore by any operator but please do not have circuitous services or marathon services.
