Buses, Buses & Buses..


Yes.. For the month of December, most of the time i would be busying with spotting for unusual bus deployments, hopping on to new services as early as 7am from Hougang (i have to set off from home at about 5:15am and take train all the way), etc etc.. Pretty tiring for me and some of my bus enthusiast friends like Bing He, Kenny & Isaac, going after all these unusual deployment for photos like siaoz.. Machiam like having Amazing Race..

Okay.. Anyway, these few weeks i have been very pissed off with some matters regarding Service 190 and 700A for SMRT Buses, and this morning at about 3am ++, i have e-mailed to Straits Time Forum about this and i do really hope this will appear online in their website or (if best) even publish in The Straits Time.. Everytime i waited for Service 190 or 700A buses back home from Orchard MRT Station bus stop, i would get more and more pissed off everytime i see SBS Transit bus services' frequency is pretty fast, and i SELDOM see SBS Transit buses (Service 124, 143, 162, 502) packed fully with people like sardine. As for SMRT Bus services, most of the buses (especially Service 190 & 700A, exclude service 167) can be packed with people until the front door. -_-"" What's more, i find that the last bus arrival time for SMRT Buses (except service 167) tends to be damn early.. Imagine, after about 11:50pm and you can only see ALL OTHER SBS Transit buses and SMRT Bus service 167 at that bus stop at Orchard MRT Station, that's for Sundays to Thursday as there's NO NR services.

Okay.. Enough of that SMRT thingy.. Makes me pissed off everytime i mentioned about SMRT Buses.. Really, those living in areas that has SBS Transit bus services, you ARE really VERY VERY FORTUNATE!! And i pity those people residing in Choa Chu Kang area with SMRT Buses around.. -_-""

Well, i have already written a e-mail to ST Forum about it and hope they re-edit a bit (because my letter is too long and happened to make 1-2 minor sentence making mistakes..) and publish either on website or if best publish it in the newspaper (i.e The Straits Time)
