Haha expected 1 why dun they make the service from jurong east to shenton way ?

icky SG

maybe SMRT is not allowed to operate premium service for jurong east? for premium service, do SBST or SMRT have their own territory? like SMRT occupies all bus interchanges along red line from Yishun to Bukit Batok?

There's 557 at CCK, 559 at Yishun

599 at Hougang/S'goon Nth

I mean, if there is a certain kind of partition on premium services between SBST and SMRT, that may not be identical to the existing partition on normal services, e.g. if SBST is allowed to operate premium services from cck and yishun, is SMRT allowed to operate from cck or yishun too?

Kindly explain the appearance of SMRT Premium 590 in CCK then (even though only serves 6 bus stops). As for yishun wise, could be due to the trains.

555 from Bt Panjang, 556 from CCK

555 from Bt Panjang, 556 from CCK

556 Yew Tee area, 557 CCK itself

icky SG

so if SMRT can operate premium service from any region, why not extend 586 to make it a BP->JE->city premium service?

In which case it won't be a premium service because it's not direct enough (not the route but the midway stops)
