Honestly, I find service 97's extension to MBS quite shocking.

They're bascially butchering the link to the Lau Pa Sat area.

Mm wondering is that the reason that 133 got K310UD demo? :)

Mostly affected services seems to be those affected during NEL rationlisation..

Cheers.

Me too. I think the KUD will act as a fleet addition once MBS opens.

My opinion is that 857 should be amended to terminate at MBS in order to minimise boarding and alighting times- too many ppl board this svc at Convention Center bus stop and delays the bus. So if the bus would terminate at MBS via Suntec City, ppl would not board it (e.g. svc 106 terminates at Marina Centre so no ppl board it at Suntec City to get to BBT)

Think SMRT might be considering 960 as well, since theres 963R straight to RWS from Woodlands, there bound to have a straight link to MBS too.

Jurong East / Clementi to Collyer Quay / Fullerton Rd

Haha.. The OC spamming on 960 shows they want to make a good impression over these few weeks with the opening of MBS, but unlikely they will extend it to MBS.

I foresee OC spamming for the next 2 weeks on 106.

Yeah, teh demand would be OMGWTFBBQ

off_service SG

3 to 4 buses and you consider that spamming...

A 960M? I dun think it's feasible baring in mind the demand. I dunno if they will come up with svcs like 857M, 700M or 961M? Just speculating.

The 'M' is too big for the EDS, so maybe 960A?

Operating hours would be the same as 700A for 960A to loop at MBS and back to Marina Bay Terminal.
For weekends and PH, terminates at Shenton Way Ter, just like what 853 is doing?

if they are adding buses, it should be all singledeck. sbst always liddat de wait until many complaint den put super

Junyang700 SG

This time round, the amendments are good! =)

Especially 502. It not only reduces runtime, but plies an additional place.

502 usually gets stuck on its return trip back to Boon Lay... From the Somerset MRT station to Far East Plaza bus stop sector.

502B and 518B kena scrapped

502B and 518B kena scrapped

i guess they will do a downroute to their respective 502B/518B first stop and run as 502/518 from that stop back to their respective terminal points.

502A & 518A only operates during AM peak wef 26/4.

TIB1051D SG

502B and 518B kena scrapped

good one! how to say...can i say that they are quite useless? for they are only downroutes of the original services...
