Well done.
Finally a service express from Sembawang Int. This is a very
good route that I foresee will significantly boost connectivity
between Sembawang and North/Central/Northeast (163) Singapore. One
example is how Fernvale residents and YCK Rd commuters can now
choose to travel 163 <--> 164 as a direct and fast mean to
connect between Sembawang Town/Admiralty and their respective
locations.
Another thing I really like about the route is how WDL Ave 12 is
being fully utilised here. With the new flats and the new hospital
coming up that place will surely thrive with heavy traffic, both
vehicle and human, and it would be a enormous contrast to Ave 12
today, where only a few cars pass through plain fields to get onto
SLE, and hardly a trace of human movement. As such a new service
would definitely be required to cater to such potential location.
As I have said before, this service is high in potential as it
plies express to YCK Rd, and plus altogether how it brings ppl from
Ave 12 (especially those from hospital) to nearest town centre
(Sembawang) and MRT and it allows residents and patients and
visitors to seamlessly transfer to the many services along YCK Rd
and Toa Payoh within just a few stops after the expressway, I can
foresee that this service will always be packed to the door due to
high demands. Thus I recommend 60% DDs on this route, and frequency
to be around 10 mins or less.
Excellent service you have proposed here, keep it up!
Edit: Oh but on a side note I discourage this service to be
under SBST as it does not blend in well with the Woodlands side,
and dual-depot will also not be possible if SBST takes the service.
Anyways great service there!
Thanks for your comments! 
If ever the same route is introduced, we'll see how it goes
about with the fleet. SBS Transit was selected because of the route
which plies mostly on SBS Transit controlled areas.
If it is by SMRT, probably I
would have to skip around TPY and used Thomson area like 167,980,
to enter PIE like 143, which i might not want to clash with 167,980
too much since it's from SBW as well. The route might eventually
become super express.
I would not concentrate too
much on Woodlands and Yishun side basically because there are 966
& 851 closest to TPY. However, at SBW, there are ample space
for new bus services to start there, which is why I also chose to
ply Wlands Ave 12 which would be a greater choice for future
links.
Anyway, really thanks for your
comments!
