Wah lau eh… TTS again. They are really damn bloody lucky. However, if every service in Tengah operated by TTS, might seem unfair and one sided by LTA. TTS already operating majority services in Jurong East, Jurong Town Hall, quite a handful of services in Clementi including the feeders, Bukit Batok, Tengah… Not forgetting they have influence now in Yishun, Sembawang, Woodlands although in Woodlands, majority are long distance trunk routes and not to mention Chencharu and Kallang… Really chamption… LTA grooming them to be the next SBST ah?
They bagged LCS contract, Sentosa services contract, 2 year extension…… Maybe they got somebody inside LTA. Lol. Saying about this, it looks like Go Ahead is the most odd one out. With no new packages or any other services, can they really make a lasting impression in Singapore’s public bus industry?
?? Bulim Depot is going to be relocated to Tengah in the future, so what kind of biasness you are trying to hint? I don’t see why would it be a mistake to allow TTS to operate this service, where the depot will be a less than 5-minute drive away from the interchange?
Go-Ahead has Jo Tan, who used to be one of the big shots in LTA previously. Why not try rubbing some salt on them too?
Real I’m so sick of TTS winning packages and then running the buses at awful frequencies at such low speed. don’t think there’s a more aggravating experience than waiting for a TTS bus, with maybe the woodlands buses as an exception
Hopefully LTA give TT to operate not SMRT like 991.
Actually, by this logic, SBS Transit also can be the operator of 872. Via Ulu Pandan or Clementi bus package.
991 northern terminus is CCK. Not to mention its current alignment came about after merging with 308.
There will be 870x,871x,992x and probably one feeder svc.
Simple but good route. Also good for existing residents along JE St 32 who have a faster route to the MRT compared to 333.
Cool that i predicted the number right. This will most likely be operated by tower transit. Still hoping for another bidirectional from tengah tho
