      67:From Tampines to CCK starting from 3rd last bus onwards.Along Bt Timah Rd especially during Weekends.KJ side love to chiong and siam bus stops with many pax.AM side steady.Love to board from CCK towards TAM especially after 10pm.

      75:Towards BPJ.Now no chance since KJDEP took over.Off days or weekends spend in JB or drive to shopping ctr with family.Sometime i ride motorbike to nearest place.

      167:Another best route.Love to board AM side last time.WL SLs tend to chiong all the time making it worse for the frequencies.

      172:Love to board it during 2nd or last bus..The route along the cemetries there is challenging.

      177:Can make this normal service rather than peak hour.

      178:Challenging route and timings.

      190:Love the frequencies for SMRT buses.Even though bus pack to the core but appreciated SMRT deploy more buses even they short of bendies.Fast way to city.

      854:Good frequencies.More buses deploy.Chances of boarding bendies is more even during off peak.

      856:Along Senoko.The workers there quite undestandable.If they see bus half pack automatic someone will tell to move to the rear.

      965/966/969:Express sectors.

      985:Love the DAFs cruising along PIE.

    • Like 161 because it seems like the 1st fastest route to Hougang

      Like/hate 178 because of the fleet of buses, like because of the route

      966 - The bus that brings BP/CCK residents to the east, the fastest way (depends on the traffic too)
      190 - The best frequencies - Miss the bus , 3-5 mins later , bus come (towards NBR)

      SBST
      161 - Direct from Wlds to north-east of Singapore.

      Service 5: Went for a spin on this service right on its Day 1 (11 Mar 07). Later found out that it's a service that connects me to some of the most frequented places I go to. Most importantly it gets me straight from Bedok Reservior to Jalan Toa Payoh (the Trellis Towers Bus Stop) and vice-versa.

      Service 168: Found out when I was in Sec 1 that it's a faster alternative as compared to Services 18 and/or 69 when going from Tampines to Bedok. Service also connects me to important places such as the Tampines Retail Park, Seletar as well as Woodlands. I had quite a number of favourite buses on this service, especially SBS 9199C.

      Service 225: The one and only service that gets me from home to the Bedok Interchange. On 18 Feb 08, became the 3rd (or is it 2nd) feeder service to receive DDs. Service is also believed to be the oldest surviving service with no admenments to route since introduction in 1972*.

      *Note: Usually I take the introduction of Service 225 to be in 1972, according to a source, though I may not be correct.

      Dislike (Somewhat)

      Service 45: Poor frequency; waiting for a bus on this service to come can be frustrating, especially when the bus stop does not have an next bus display. But I take this service so that I can connect between Tanah Merah MRT, my home and Eunos.

      Service 143: Used to joyride it after class. Direct bus to West Coast Plaza, Church, Vivocity, Chinatown and Far East Plaza. Find this service convinient to me.

      Service 506: Don't really take it frequently.But this route is quite direct as it brings me to Toa Payoh, and the East area within minutes.

      Service 154: My childhood service. Use to take it to Toa Payoh to transfer to 56 to go to Bishan when I was young. Though the route maybe long, but it brings me to places like King Albert Park, Trellis Towers, Katong Shopping Centre.

      Dislike:
      Service 963: Took it a few times. Waiting time is very long. Sometimes the bus will be packed to the door. Need to wait for the next 963 if I cannot board it.

    • Like: Sv 99 and 157. cause these two can bring me to my school. wherever if i feel that i am going to late for school, i can just take Sv 157, depending which svc comes first.

      comparing these 2 services, sv 99 is most nearest to my school but sv 157 is most far.
