A lot of route is ironic one,136 should stay in Seletar Ang Mo Kio Int but go to GAS instead where it serve most of AMK/SGN GDN..66 serve most of its vital routes along BDK sector but stay in Bulim instead…66 should stay with BDK,61 should stay in SGN-EUN,67 in TAM & 75 should be in BM package
61 should join Bulim and 991 join CCK package.
No,991 should be in Bulim cause the starting route is BBT-CCK and 990 also start from BBT.61 might be cut short to start from Beauty World in future
BTW under which package? Don’t tell me Clementi?
Very very, incredibly rude drivers on this route 66 . Scold passengers who alight from the front door of the bus…. Want them to alight from the back.
The frequency of the bus is horrible
19 9ct 2018 abt 2120hrs
buss 66 driver slow down at the bus stop but when most passenger at the bus stop .. was waitimg for the bus to stop it just drive away
mentioned bus stop was at bedok north outside the chinese temple. Abt 8 to 9 passenger was wait for bus no 66
This Is Not My Favourite Bus Service For ‘Tower Transit’.It Is Not Fair That ‘Double Decker Buses’ Are Not Deployed On Weekdays But Only On Weekends And Public Holidays.
