Getting to know SBST275 better - Of Bus and Bus Routes
-
From Jive Pad:
Q: just a curious question, what's the first thing that comes to ur mind every mornign when u wake up sbst?? .....so just wondering if he wakes up in the morning... does he think abt buses at once? or mebeb a specific bus?
A: Dream??? No way man.. They're just facts
Q: when u wake up in the morning.. the first thought that comes to ur mind.. is it about buses?
and what % of the day do u think u think or do work abt buses?
A: OK .Buses I only think of cos I hate the current system, I want to improve it
Q: Having played railway tycoon, I can understand.. err...to a certain extent the fascination of bus routes and buses... and it is good to see people putting in the effort to improve the system... err are u working alone or in a team? i understand thre are groups of people in singapore interested in ths?
A: Alone actually
The weakness I see in SG's system is that buses have to complement the MRT which leads to circuitous routings
Another thing is everything all thrown to MRT to serve, that's why MRT now cannot cope either
Q: err why dont u consider forming a team.. more resources right?
Also.. err at what age in ur life did u develop.. shall we call it.. err this fascination and interest?
A: Team not easy wo
After they removed the buses during the MRT rationalisation in the early 1990's
Q: So I would say that you have been fixated on this interest for almost 20 years? from 1990s to .. 2006.....what do you consider to be the highlights of this passion during this time?
A: Whenever there's a rationalisation...
When bus svs are removed -
Can u explain rationalisation and perhaps give an example of one?
-
wah....up close and personal with sbst275...
can u do one with FI? -

Was back then Sv 92 (Clementi - Paya Lebar Air Base)
Rt if I could still remember: Clementi Ave 3, C'wealth Ave West, Dover Ave, Dover Rd, Buona Vista Flyover, AYE, Alexandra Rd, Jln Bt Merah, Lower Delta Rd, River Valley Rd, Hoot Kiam Rd, Paterson Rd, Orchard Rd, Prinsep St, Selegie Rd, Serangoon Rd, Macpherson Rd, Airport Rd, Macpherson Rd, Bendemeer Rd, Jln Besar, Bencoolen St, Orchard Rd, Penang Rd, Somerset Rd, Orchard Blvd, Paterson Rd, Irwell Bank Rd, River Valley Rd, Lower Delta Rd, Jln Bt Merah, Alexandra Rd, AYE, Buona Vista Flyover, Dover Rd, Dover Ave, C'wealth Ave West, Clementi Ave 3
OK dokie
The Clementi Int - Orchard Rd or vice versa was later replaced by Sv 14
Orchard Rd - Macpherson Rd was taken over by then current rt Sv 64/ 65
Macpherson Rd - Paya Lebar replaced by then new service 90
It's kinda splitted up into pieces
Totally removed was like Sv 85.. HarbourFront - Sengkang, this one was withdrawn overnight -

But the PTC only takes in people who do not take public transport, so that they can remain "objective".Originally posted by InnoHippo:wow ...... SBST275 should be member of PTC

Cat should do an "Up Close & Personal" Column with different ppl
I think interesting topic would be AV's fascination with insect porn

av, i see your comment abt 502 ar
502 the demand picked up aft the ST article, this service is much much faster than taking the MRT
This one not I say one ar, it's from ST... From Toh Guan Rd to Orchard Rd (CK Tang) take Express 502 takes 39 mins vs feeder - MRT connection's 70 mins travelling time
Fare wise... 502 is $1.86
feeder- MRT is-> $0.65 (Feeder) + $1.40 (MRT) - $0.25 (Rebate) = $1.80 -
Its just that I got curious abt him leh... never met a person so completely uhh obses.. i mean.. fascinated with one single topic before...
Even AV is not completely and wholly fascinated with insect porn. He likes food too.
Hmmm.
Not counting those bar trolls who post nowhere but bar la. -
steady lah, kayu!!!
