What were the route of 247 and 248?

Sv 247 to Jurong Pier & Jurong Port integrated into 98 from Lakeside MRT instead

248 to Soon Lee Rd/ Nethyal Rd, integrated into 250 and eventually into 252

Oic...

brotherchen1982 SG

now, st9x residents will have a faster journey to BNL int, thanks to new svc 241 =D

I wonder what will happen to amended svc 242... looks like less demand

My feeling is some residents are not happy with this change

last time, i live in st 81... always take 242 w/o fail to BNL

Complaint :
never connect to Pioneer Stn,
always crowded,
take long time to reach BNL Int,
always bunching/caught in jam,
same route as Service 99
Rd not serve by basic service

Solution :
has a shorter travel time to BNL Int/Pioneer Stn
provide a direct and convenient connection to Pioneer Stn
a faster route to the BNL Int

Yup, for every single passenger boarding Service 242. The 241 berth is up using a blank and white laminated paper. Really a great effort from SBS Transit this time round.

Just to add on.. Just now is really funny that every single passenger are given the brouche and you see everyone reading it onboard.

slayer2004 SG

but there's still Sv 99 - only thing is issue of stepping up of fleet is req

I gonna pity those ppl who depend on 99 liao. I still rmb got 1 time i wait for 30 mins for 1 stupid 99 at Jurong West Ave 4 going back to JE. This time round, more jia lat liao!

tranquilice SG

just a mere coincidental

btw, the old 241 [JE - Teban Gdns] last time got use DD ? If yes, I wonder whether they got still keep that desto...

No, all were single decks. But it had LO2x after it was renumbered service 331.

tranquilice SG

most likely e JIS & Tuas Svs would relocate wherever applicable

but I do hope Sv 182 or 193 stays to provide those bus passengers at BNL a link to SDC

Service 193 can stay in Boon Lay. Service 182 should be cutback to Joo Koon considered it is a long loop service.

hanor

everytime I see Sv 99 near Jurong East MRT Station, it's always 2 together before a long time another Sv 99 comes

Maybe can put 241/99 x-over during AM peak to decrease frequency.

241 only 6-bus fleet lei... how to do crossover during AM peak when there will be alot of people at JW St 9X?

It'll be good if they can draw some buses from Clementi to supplement 99.

241 only 6-bus fleet lei... how to do crossover during AM peak when there will be alot of people at JW St 9X?

Okay, 241 can rely on 179/241 x-over (T-day) 2 supplement commuters. So, 2 of 241 buses can do x-over to 99 during AM peak. Jus lik 243/198 x-over. Tiz can benefit both buses. And ppl won't wait 4 99 veri long. These 241/99 x-over buses may start the downroute trip from Jurong West Street 91 to Clementi Int for 1 trip as JW St 31 are densed.

Initially I thought that 241 will follow 257's route until Pioneer MRT (St 62, St 61 & St 63) since 257 is very likely to be shortened to Joo Koon and there is already a 179 (and 255, in which it is also very likely to be shortened to Joo Koon ter) in the whole stretch of St 63.

which version? Jurong Int - Teban Gardens or Jurong East Int - Teban Gardens?

The old feeder 241 was from the old Jurong Interchange to loop at Teban Gradens. Jurong interchange was closed in 1990 and the route was amended to terminate at Jurong East interchange. Feeder 241 was renumbered to 331 in 1999, after which the route was merged with service 143 and withdrawn in 2001.
