OLD 'bone-shaker' non-air- con buses are being assigned on a long-haul route - SBS service 155 - covering 42 bus stops, with stops at traffic junctions. Ironically, air-con buses are deployed on feeder services plying short routes.

ONCE again, transport operators are proposing another fare hike, citing high costs. In return, they assure us that service standards will improve.
Not only must service standards improve, but also the quality of buses. In the east, services 82, 112, 113 and 325 still use non-air-conditioned buses. Isn't this inadequate, especially in these days of hot and humid weather?
So please ensure all routes have air-conditioned buses to justify the request for a fare hike.
