This has been happening so many times. CW from tuas to boonlay is always so late!!!!! CW to jurong east mostly came more then 5, and not even one CW to boonlay. Please do something about it!!!! Your service is so dissappointing!!!!
Just wanna confirm about CW6, can the bus stop at AEON Bukit Indah?
I don’t know why there is no feedback section with regard to services provided by CW6? The operator shall regularly review the possibility to offer a reasonable and acceptable standard to passengers. Through many personal experiences and observation, buses had never intended to wait for passengers (even a tiny 5 mins) will be tremendously helpful. I really pity those waited at immigration station (both Sg and JB) for hours and hours and would be pleased to see if any of CWS’s management staff to experience themselves for the services they provide to public. Be responsible please.
