Not only the NEL Line, but with service 80. Because both route
plied Hougang and they had both the same starting and ending
points, SBS Transit withdraws it without a second thought, or else
why would those complaints will be raised without a direct
link.
you see, whenever we plan bus routes, other than where the buses
ply, we need to find a terminating point for them.
In this case, I so called use some example to illustrate.
1) Why Sengkang? Back then, Punggol was not very developed as
yet.
2) Why HarbourFront? Legacy from Sv 84.
3) Why not withdrawn? Cos it serves Paya Lebar, Geylang East,
Nth Bridge Rd, Tg Pagar.
Why 85 was withdrawn? Not only did most part duplicate less CBD,
there's Sv 16 to pick up ppl from DBG to Great World. To Tiong
Bahru there's NEL - EWL connection.
