noticed posters have been placed at NTU bus stops today (spotting e craze of PM peak downroutes, Sv 179 downroute buses appearing from Nanyang Ave (turn right aft NIE Lib bus stop)).
WEF 20/09/10, NTU-D's Weekday route will be converted to loop at Nanyang Ave instead. Weekend route will remain unchanged.
Additional bus stop: Opp Canteen 2, Hall 6, Opp Hall 1.
Bus stops to be skipped: ADM, Lib 1, CEE, SBS, SCI, Hall 7, Inno Ctr, Hall 4, Hall 5.
wondering how are they going to diff out e Weekday & Weekend bus stop info... hiak hiak hiak
goodness
1st working day of new routing: demand plunge terribly for return leg. still have some crowd waiting at PNR though.
Went to note 179/ 199 ops recently...
The thing abt this shuttle bus is erratic freq. During AM peak it can be 3 buses arriving Pioneer together, off peak w/ brunching.
Seriously like tis still gotch ppl want 'free' bus, because w/ distance fare to those taking to say Clementi, the top up fare is 12c if basis is taken at Pioneer.
Clementi > Boon Lay/ 179A: Total fare $1.37, vs $1.61 pre DBTF.
Clementi > Pioneer: $1.21, vs $1.20 pre DBTF. Top up 179 $1.33 vs $1.39 pre DBTF.
there's a free shuttle bus from Pioneer Stn to NTU?

Should be 5 - 6 buses deployed during AM peak hours.
