Mmm. Visited the place incl Festive Hotel & Hard Rock Hotel. The reality is that only the 4 hotels are virtually opened for business in the IR.
Nice interior. Of course the Casino entrance is the place of 'interest' for now especially it's the first time you see the word "Casino" in Singapore. Hopefully Universal Studio Singapore would open soon. I myself would likely enter least once in my lifetime (weekday ticket cost S$66).
Anyway there's already NightRider NR1 & NR6 operating to/ from RWS to Yishun & Sengkang New Town respectively. During the Weekend daytime, there's RWS shuttle service RWS88 (S$2 per trip, to City Hall MRT Station/ Coleman St bus stop {Used by SBS Sv 130 towards Ang Mo Kio} at 20 mins frequency) and 963R (Distance related Express fares between S$1.50 and S$2.35, serving Clementi, Bt Batok, Hillview, Bt Panjang, Woodlands residential bus stops at 30 - 40 mins frequency).
It seems that SMRT has already anticipated the eventual IR crowd to be high. Hence my ride on RWS88 was terrible, the bus hogging the bus lane at 20kph along Telok Blangah Rd, Kg Bahru Rd, Eu Tong Sen St as SMRT allocated a whopping 45 mins travelling time for the short journey. Beats me though that the bus uses the congested Chinatown area (due to DTL works) than using Robinson Rd/ Fullerton Rd.
People are puzzled with RWS88 & 963R as it approaches the bus stop as SMRT has apparently missed out onto updating service information on top of the current RWS8 at the RWS bus stop. Little needs to mention there's no queueing system in place yet for RWS88 & 963R.

"Please move in to the rear, Thank you!"
It was quite a scene of spotting false images of buses being packed potrayed by NP & UniSIM students.
Noticed trips of these so called packed buses of Sv 74, 184 heading towards Dover & Clementi respectively. However, the buses are actually empty at the upper deck and the rear carriage respectively.
I wonder where has the graciousness of the younger generation of Singaporean gone to? They should learn to put themselves into the shoes of passengers who are boarding along the way en-route to Dover or Clementi MRT stations.
It's quite a shame that there are people who are still complaining of 'packed' buses when no one is co-operating to move in. I think going at this rate, SBS should stop buying double decker buses since the younger and growing up generation of Singaporeans cannot apperciate operators purchasing bigger capacity buses to carry more passengers per trip.
In fact such acts only delays and lengthens the bus travelling time. My feeling is that SBS buses are 'late' these days thanks to un-cooperative passengers. That's why my personal oppinion is that SMU should not even include public transport as part of the customer satisfaction index - there's no use for this survey as every commuters is responsible for everyone's public transport journey experience as well being a co-shared facility.
By then Singaporeans should not be complaining why single decker buses are so packed. Complain this, complain that, what do people want?
