242 Boon Lay to Jurong West (loop)


people complained.
no connecting bus from Pioneer MRT to Jurong West St 92.
considerin' the fact that SMRT and SBS Transit are rival companies,
its no wonder why this service wasnt drawn up earlier.
but as soon as the complaints kept coming, 242 was alas split up from its original route.
the number 241 revived.
the old 241 used to serve from Jurong Int to Teban Gardens. and then renumbered as 331.
and later on merged with 143.

so yes, 241 starts today.

but thats not my point.

________________


the point is.
5 years ago, i used to frequent 242.
i'd always try my best to accompany back home.
so i guess, this news has a slight impact on me then.
but apart from that.
hmmmm....
i don't know.... maybe...
hmmm.....

i finally got it back from my bus freak friend... cant believe i gave it away for free... but to get it back wasnt easy i had to exchange it with another desto (aka destination plate) i had to trade this rare 97 temporary desto... he didn't force me for it, but i felt it was only nice to give something in return.... especially like in this case when i ask for this 185 desto back.. whats so special bout 185? three reasons.. 1) this bus is my childhood service...always took it 2) this service is no longer in existence... so imagine how rare the desto is 3) i ride on the improved version of this service almost daily Improved?? here, a lil explanation 185 (my era) from Choa Chu Kang to Jalan Anak Bukit (loop) 185 was handed over from SBS to TIBS in 1998 due to an agreement.. 185 merged with the newly introduced 989 to become 185 Choa Chu Kang to Jalan Anak Bukit (loop) 989 Choa Chu Kang to Changi Airport PTB 1 & 2 185 + 989 = 985 985 Choa Chu Kang to Geylang Lorong 1 so now, i freq

midnight morning

that was the problem. i was unwillingly early. i traded a comfortable half an hour of sleep just to be ahead of time. just to be there before the others do. it was my first 'stay out' day. the time was 0532hours and i was already at the bus stop awaiting for 985. the first bus leaves the interchange at 0530hours and it would take 22 minutes to reach my stop. great.so that leaves me with another 20 minutes to wait. so i sat at the bus stop patiently. there was no other soul around. no signs of any passerbys. no one. all were still in the safe comfort of their own home. the road was empty. like as if i was the only one living in solitude. no bright headlights zoomed pass me. darkness all around. a sense of fear permeate through me. like a jolt. my eyelids weighed a few pounds at that moment. just a little too much to handle. especially when i have not been receiving enough rest during my stay-in period during the course. the only company i had that kept me from dozing at the bus
