An appeal.

Yes, I understand that information that are unreleased should be kept secret. But in situations where it is evident that some things are in full public view i.e. number of unknown bus on bus sign board, I hope at least there's some place where we can discuss (and yes, maybe even speculate) as long as we state clearly that these are merely guesses or personal opinions and not real fact.

Yes, such discussions should be refrained from the "official press" thread as it might unknowingly mislead other users of this forum into thinking that they are official statement from the relevent companies. However, It would be great if there is such a thread that would be similar to a "fantasy" or "off-topic" thread where such discussions can take plae.

Simple. Just add to the end (NOTE: This is in fact a RUMOUR). But of course, if it does mislead, and because there are people who do get easily excited, we will edit it where we see fit.

May I know what did you get this piece of information from? I was at Bukit Merah interchange yesterday and there was no such notices there regarding the introduction of SWT 16B. Confused

Acx1688 SG

it was at all sv16 bus stops along Orchard Rd & Bras Basah Rd, saw it myself on Oct 15

Acx1688 SG

Yup buses used Cecil St before turning right to Boon Tat St to resume their journey. During filming Robinson Rd was turn into a 2 direction street to facilitate filming.

Sv 59

Seems Sv 59 is going head on with Sv 506

sinicker SG

wow. 59 is seriously going head-on with 506. seems that SBST are introducing bus services with a significant amount of express sectors eg 34, 43, 48, 52, 59. and my fellow schmates need not compete for space in 8 or 21 to get to sch anymore since there is 59 at bedok reservoir rd.

muziq bus SG

184 has now got a competition from 52

59 and 57 are aiding the Toa Payoh feeders...

nice...

PhyrePhox SG

Hmmm.. notice now a lot of buses introduced originating from the North East sector.

Is it now a lucrative route (new estates) or are they just filling in gaps in places that have been in demand?

Enhance the links of Clementi Road with Clementi MRT Station and Toh Guan Road with Jurong East MRT Station.

Well, now I can say that they've not only enhanced it, they've practically strengthened those links.

Residents of Clementi Road and Toh Guan Road, and students of SIM and Ngee Ann Poly will really rejoice now that they can get to the MRT with less waiting.

sinicker SG

do you guys think that 59 would be faster frm tamp-bishan than the train?
