Amazing Race

I went for the Amazing Race organised by the Bus Fans community under Singapore Buses forums last Saturday. Well, it was exciting and costly. I spent up to 15 to 20 bucks just for my bus ride and train ride. However, service 143 is like being seen for about 70% of the time.

We went to Novena to get our second clue which is to find that particular driver driving service 143 in a Compressed Natural Gas Bus which is holding a clue to our next destination. The bus is stipulated to reach Somerset MRT by 1058 hrs. However, we miss the bus. So, we went from Orchard to Toa Payoh in search for the driver. After that, our next destination is Teban Gardens Food Centre which 143 plies too. Our final destination is at Barbourfront Centre which 143 plies there too. What a coincidence.

Overall, this Amazing Race is a test on my proficiency of my bus route knowledge in Singapore and allows me to see new places such as Jalan Angis Laut playground, the beautiful scenary along East Coast Parkway from Fort Rd to Keppel Rd.
It was an eye opener for me as I have met many others on that day which is good at their bus routes, have great interest in buses too. Each of them are armed with Transitlink Bus Guide 2008 and some of them even brought their excerise books to record down the cameos that they have seen today.

Finally found that stall. Yay. A picture shot by that bus fan too.
