Who did the Airport route?

8330X was one of them that did the Airport route IIRC. Anyway, the Airport to Tanah Merah portion can also be done by just taking 24, might even be faster than the bus bridging itself.

It may create a lot of confusion and may situation may get worse. With the media coverage already so wide, some people can still not know that MRT did not opearate in the morning. For EWL stretch, some people already complain on why the service terminates at Raffles Place.

Seriously NSL was worst, terminate at Bishan, requeue w/ CCL crowd to get South of Bishan.

tat one can't be helped... Wat can be done is to segregate the queue, make maps, activate staff out...

Which is why all these gotta plan eons ago by LTA...

on saturday, saw one of the lance (i think it is TIB929, with EDS showing MRT Shuttle and full of pax), turning left from AMK Ave 8 (outside AMK Mrt) to AMK Ave 3, then it turn right into CTE towards City..... not sure where it is going to... express service from AMK to Orchard?

They should continue the bridging bus services to cater to those people who might have a phobia of taking the trains now.

Same thing from Jurong or Pasir Ris, it becomes packed and many people can't get on the stations after these stations.

How many people work in AMK versus Orchard - Marina Bay?

For every person that gets off AMK, probably another 50 more enter.

From Pasir Ris, there are still seats. At Tampines, the MRT becomes like a fish market already, fully packed.

did any double decker bus, Hippo or Funvee bus do MRT breakdown and suspension on 18 December. Did they pull in for passengers?

Have you see Volvo B9TL WEG2 at MRT breakdown on 18 December?
