    I feel svc 180 should probably be given to Jurong west bus package, as it starts at Boon Lay and only loops at Bukit Panjang. Unless 180 starts from Bukit Panjang, it shld be operated by SBST

      The reason why it loops at BPITH is because BPITH is small. And it used to be bidirectional untill BPINT(2012) was closed.

          Joke on you to think that moving 979 to Gali Batu (which naturally means skipping Bt Panjang MRT) would work.

    This should either be a bidirectional route or start from BPITH loop at Boon Lay MRT

    The information provided should include the estimated travelling time to each stop so that we can estimate how long is the journey before deciding which route to take.

    Details on Aug/30 time 6.50am:
    – My Transport website showing 180 with arriving status, but no show of the bus till 7.10am, what happened?
    – Too long waiting time from 6.50am till 7.10am.
    – Suggest to send bus traffic flow checker to check on the said timing’s, to have one more bus flow allocate
    – As everytime the poor 7.10am bus driver has to stress out due to over crowded with passengers
