For svc 44, it is 55 stages in total. In my opinion, this service
seems to be a bit long. Nevertheless, it provides links to the city
and Jurong West from Bedok Nth and Sth and also Upper
East Coast. However, for Upper East Coast, it already has 506 which
I think is faster. This service mainly duplicates a large portion
of 67 from Bedok Nth Ave 3 to Lavender, and 97 from Marina Centre
to Jurong Town Hall Rd. With the implementation of this service,
service 97 can be scrapped and it can be expected that the demand
is gd from the west to the city.
On a last note, there is one minor problem with the route
though. Bedok Sth Rd is not accessible from Upper East Coast Rd in
the direction towards the city. So have to follow 506. :)
For svc 46, it is 56 stages in total. Bulk of the fare stages
comes from Pasir Ris to Woodlands which are express sectors. This
service increases the accessibility of the Woodlands Estate greatly
to the east which is currently limited by 969 to Tampines. However,
it will be better if the route is shortened or in my opinion,
people will still prefer to transfer buses to save time even though
there is a direct svc.
