That is correct. However, we are thinking of improvements to the service. Personally I still think the Express sector is hindering progress. It is delibrat...

Running on PIE between Jurong Town Hall and Clementi Ave 6? Is it justify to travel on PIE for such a short distance? May as well ply into IMM and Commonwealth Ave West.

Or exit PIE at Ngee Ann poly and travels via Clementi Road instead. Remember there use to have SBST189 that ply between Commonwealth Ave and CLementi Road.

weird service. Confused

eX.A.K.R. SG

Agreed, and not only that, it looks rather useless to me.

Seems like they are trying to turn SLBP into some kind of bus terminal for the western part of Jurong West. Are they trying to turn it into AMDEP 2 (for your info, roues 265 and 268 currently terminate there, and route 268 has been going up there since the route 263 days)?

I think the rt made it to serve Clementi Ave 6 for a purpose

Another new service by SBT Transit! And what the hell do those residents in Bt Batok, Panjang, Woodlands and Yishun get?????
Nothing! Nothing for many years already...
Will we get nothing for another 2 -3 years while the fare continue to climb up every year! to justify for the so called higher operating cost? We got to start a revolution now!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laughing

sBs_boy SG

Direct your question over to SMRTB.. lols

tanjun SG

Let see how the demand of svc 185 is when the svc commences the day after christmas.

phillipC SG

SMRT would just keep decreasing the lines while SBST plays around with the B9TLs, until new buses come in for SMRT.
No improvement? Never mind yet, just don't de-prove our lives. Bendies on BB feeders... Confused

Donavan SG

I would rather it goes via Jurong East Avenue 1 then Toh Guan Road, Boon Lay Way, Commonwealth Avenue West. Overwrites 333's main purpose, SL can save 4 buses. Razz

sinicker SG

1st day not so much pax lah.

(this does not apply to services like S168 and S969)

i rmber take on the 1st day... like got so many families camping in the bus.. and they had like... picnic basket with sandwiches!!!

Donavan SG

No hor.

Bukit Panjang got improvement you know. 922 introduction and 921 withdrawal, 700/700A amendment. Bukit Batok got the "crap" 985W, 945 amendment. Razz

busmanic SG

this sv acts like a 'feeder' for Jurong West residents. It plys Jurong West St 24 (which i think can be serve by extending sv 181 instead of intro this sv) because of Corporation Pr? business coming in when sch reopens if like that. Somemore the nearest MRT Stn from Jurong West it serve is, Clementi.

lol Laughing

lemon1974 SG

seem like the bus interchanges are full of services, so they now start from Depot instead.

AMDEP will have SV 45 as well.

Good

- Link residents of Jurong West/East, Clementi Ave 6 & Holland Village.
- Provide connection for Jurong West/East Neighbourhood to Corporation Pri Sch.
- Link people to Jurong West Sports Cplx at Jurong West St 93.
- Direct service to Jurong West/East Ave 1, Clementi, Buona Vista for residents in Jurong West Extension.

Bad
- Expect heavy jams along certain parts of the route.

Fare Stage from Bouna Vista Ter to Pioneer Rd Nth(Blk 653B) is 23.0
