the bulk of commuters on 167 are those travelling between sembawang-chong pang-upper thomson and in bukit merah. closing down this bus route will only strain parallel bus services like 980.

Jamus Lim WP shared a proposal in Parliament for making public transport free for the elderly and persons with disabilities in Singapore. He argued that this would allow them to stay engaged and active, as well as encourage those who wish to keep on working to do so without having to spend part of their earnings on commuting.

In London, once you reach sixty, you get a freedom pass to travel free.

I would expect the MRT to be faster .

Just people a choice to make lah. Why must cancel 167

Did you even read the news or not? Did you update yourself by reading the news? They didn't even cancel service 167. Only the frequency has changed. Moreover, it would be a waste of revenue if the service is kept at the same frequency even if it is a convenience for passengers. Everything has disadvantage and advantage. Try to understand the situation.

I base on the video the girl say no need to have bus 167. That's why I say like that? In reality I know it's not cancel.

Actually, free ride on buses means fewer bicycles on pavements.

I love taking bus 167

Ikr... especially the SMRT Mercedes bus. Idk why but it is super overpowered compared to the slower SBST Mercedes Citaro.

I’m a 110 stan. Who saw the Volvo 55LH running 110? 👀

So confirm 167 cancel.?

This video doesn't really quite explain the convenience here...and the comparison doesn't make sense

I have no idea too, anyway too many mrt stations and whatever

Prof Lim followed up by saying the extra needed to make public transport free for such groups would add only 3 or 5 per cent to the Transport Ministry’s current budget.

If the bus ride is going to take 1+hr, you are better off taking the train. It is faster from Tampines to Raffles Place by train, then from Alexandra to Raffles Place by bus, so why bother taking the bus?

not everybody lives near the mrt stations. furthermore, the seats in the mrt are almost occupied all the time. there are higher chances to grab a seat in buses
