Service 883 launched Oct 23. No diversion of 117 guys

Stupid route again, just like sv 150. Could have diverted sv 117 which has kosong loading.

Almost duplicates 117 exactly, aside from the Canberra sector and Yishun Community Hospital bus stop (which has 858).

Another white elephant.

SBS n SMRT SG

carbikebus SG

Fridays sure got healthy loadings

AntiDennisLance SG

My hunch for 883 is as usual, full shitaro fleet from AMDEP.

Sbs6750E SG

883 has the potential to extend to Yishun Street 51/41/52 and Yishun Ring Rd though.

Got sv 117 with DDs to compliment mosque loading...

I'm not being racist here but most Malay pax prefer SMRT Bus over SBST if there is alternative.

I believe the main highlight of 883 is to connect canberra residents to sembawang MRT & yishun amenities. Thats all. And thats why the route is so straight forward

Hi mr sbs6750E, just as expected. They will not route service 117 to Canberra because 117 is a trunk to connect sembawang, yishun and punggol. Cheers. Thanks.

SMB1368T SG

I knew this would happen. Although it seems that 117 can be amended, I had a feeling that this would happen

Seems that 883 is like 42

Thats why you see 169 & 965 packed to the brim unlike 117 which is like half full only...

Hi mr azharjj, yes it serves like a feeder for Canberra for fast connection to sembawang and yishun. Purpose is different from service 117. Cheers. Thanks.

Hi mr smb1368T, good that they did not touch 117 this time round. Hope they also don't touch it in future because they have already amended 117 to serve a larger lor up of seletar aerospace park like 103. Cheers. Thanks.

BusAnalayzer SG

883 will have high loading in 2017 Q3 onwards, till then buses will mostly run empty. 883 was definitely needed but I'd prefer they first would use 117 and when occupancy increases, introduce 883.

dupdup77 SG

All, anybody knows if service 883 is the only service to be introduced in October 2016? Cheers. Thanks.

carbikebus SG

I think Sengkang will have trunk?

Sims Place will have a new short trunk?

Tampines will have new feeder?

TIB 585L SG

SKG got 3 new svc.

hgdep103 SG

SKG got 3 new svc.

Seems about right, heard about that service 500 too

Based on prediction,

Service 137 would be launched in Nov/Dec

Service 500 might be launched in Dec if there are no delays. Major services are often introduced in the final month of each quarter.
