I think the no. of x-overs are still the same (eight), but I haven't confimred yet. The evening peak had 2 missing buses though... Dunno whether they were missing in the morning too.Originally posted by brotherchen1982:The Int is super crowded with people today, there are some madeshift stores along the MRT side of the Int & super-long queue for NTU students taking svc 179 this morning due to more DDs being depolyed on svc 242.
New 242 and 179 timetable started this week. 242 has an additonal bus added, which should be 539P. It should be either an S shift or an only P shift bus. -
Means extra bus for 242? That's Great! It is doing duty for the whole day?

Now, they've changed the 243G plate to white fonts.Originally posted by stooper:But the black font on 243G cannot be seen! -
The black fonts almost can't be seen during the day or when there is insufficient light.Originally posted by stooper:Now, they've changed the 243G plate to white fonts. -
Its good that they have change it into white fonts so that people can see it clearly.Originally posted by brotherchen1982:The black fonts almost can't be seen during the day or when there is insufficient light. -
Black font more suited for yellow or orange background.
White font on yellow can be hard to see. -
