This means 103 took up the current 103M route by 95% because of the closure of West Camp Rd section.

Service 103

From the start,

1. Jalan Kayu - Commonwealth Ave/Buona Vista (via Outram Rd, Tiong Bahru Rd, Margaret Drive, Commonwealth Ave)
2. Shortened to become Jalan Kayu - New Bridge Rd
3. Change operator to TIBS
4. Change operator back to SBS
5. Became Serangoon - Seletar East/West Camp (loop) under NEL rationalisation (merged with 378/379), new 103W to West Camp.
6. 103W changed to 103M
7. 103M and 103 integration

Do you know why 103 was changed to start from Serangoon? Because it's the nearest bus interchange along it's route from Jalan Kayu to be shortened to.

from the poster, looks like the NSF gota walk further to the bus stop
aft the merger, also good la.. no more erratic frequencies.. i remembered 20mins during 8am towards camp gate and every 16mins leaving the camp from 6.30pm-7.30pm (any 103/ 103M bus)

serangoon = dumping ground for NEL rationalised services
but they still have to retain some connectivity..

PGL or SKG or AMDEP will be even nearer than serangoon
