I think the route amendment was not due to the opening of Bedok
Temp Int. Even if Bedok Temp Int was not there, sv 18 would still
be amended sooner or later.
I agree. There is no reason why sv 18 should be amended on
account of temp interchange. They did it coz sv 18 route needed
some change, and still needs, so that it is more unique and fetches
more pax.
