Amendments to NUS Internal Shuttle Bus (ISB) Supplementary Service: Cross Faculty Movement between Faculty of Science (FoS) and Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS)
We have observed an increase in the number of students having continuous back-to-back classes between FoS and FASS since the beginning of Academic Year 2005/2006.
To cater to the increasing demand for cross faculty movement, we have decided to reschedule the NUS ISB Supplementary Service with effect from Monday, 12 September 2005.
The rescheduled service will have one 40-seater bus setting off from each direction:
1. from opposite Hon Sui Sen Memorial Library to Faculty of Science (near Block SoC 1) at 40th and 45th minute before the hour (e.g. 0740hrs and 0745hrs, 0840hrs and 0845hrs, 0940hrs and 0945hrs, etc)
2. from Faculty of Science (near Lecture Theatre 29) to Hon Sui Sen Memorial Library at 50th and 55th minute before the hour (e.g. 0750hrs and 0755hrs, 0850hrs and 0855hrs, 0950hrs and 0955hrs, etc)
The last trip of the Supplementary Bus Service will be at 1755hrs from each direction.
We hope that students rushing for continuous back-to-back classes will be able to board the bus.
Details of the bus service are available in the following URL: http://www.nus.edu.sg/oed/services/csd/transportation/internlShuttleBusService.htm#s
Students bound for Faculty of Engineering (ENG) are advised to access ENG via Block E5 from Computer Centre.
Students having continuous back-to-back classes between FoS and FASS are advised to be at the bus stops within 5 minutes of the official scheduled class end time (e.g. 1145hrs, 1545hrs, etc).
We would also like to take this opportunity to reassure students that with the increasing cost of transportation (caused by the increasing fuel prices), we try our best to keep the NUS ISB service at sustainable and affordable level, balancing passengers’ needs, expectations and physical limitations.

Huh?!?!!?!? Only ONE bus??? Even if you take it as 2 buses that come during that hour, means only 80 students maximum can get to their classes on time? Then the rest? fly ah?? One lecture size is already 100+ ppl... They think 2 puny buses can help alleviate meh? I think they make the supplementry bus more frequent better... Still want to use the excuse of increasing fuel prices... Allo... the buses run on diesel leh... still much cheaper compared to petrol...
Then still want us to be at the bus stop on time?? Some lecturers don't stop on time... then like that, if a lot of students taking that mod have to get to the other side of the campus, then the situation will still be the same... a whole group of students joslting at the bus stop to get onto the other buses... this can't be their permanent solution bah... there's got to be a better way... increase frequency of the supplementary is one way I think should work...
Another might be to actually EDUCATE the idiotic people who block the way to the back, run up the rear door and block other people from alighting and choose to stand when there's a seat right in front of them. I've ever seen there two WUSSIES, who couldn't bear to leave their girlfriends alone on the seats and move to the back... so coincidentally, both stood back to back, IN THE FREAKING MIDDLE OF THE BUS!!! No one could get past them, and when I looked at them from my spot on the front stairs, one of them had to nerve to look behind him, notice the empty space, AND DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
Watever lah... I'll just continue my normal way of getting up the bus... squeezing and elbowing occasionally... heh... If I sound pissed today, I am... my nose isn't stopping... it's leaking like crazy... been through like 3 packets of tissue in school... and now I'm using a new box of tissue... stupid nose... tried going to the doctors after school... reached the doc at 10.03pm... they closed at 10pm!! Argh... now I have to wait until 8am to see the doc... think I'll go sleep now... time passes faster... heh...
you have just Slacked with Chris @ 12:52 AM
