Don't believe that SMRT has done much. Many people were stranded at
the bus stop just outside the Woodlands train checkpoint. (hope you
know where it is)
Highlighted in blue, the jam occured every Saturday, standard,
guaranteed, testified and been thru it before. Due to the jam, the
only public buses that can spotted along Woodlands Centre Rd (the
section after junction of BKE and Woodlands Rd) were mostly 950 and 170 only. Why
950 and 170? Because they not affected much by jam at the junction
as they turned left to upon clearing customs, as you can see.
However, 170 and 950 also will take some time to arrive, due to the
jam in the causeway.
Other services (like 856[towards Yishun direction], 911,912 and
913) took a very very long time to filter thru the jam. Not to
forget 178.
I have seen 911 and 912 dropped passengers off Marsiling Rd, and
head back to Woodlands Int (perhaps?), as there were 911 and 912
buses stucked in the jam already, these buses will serve the
passengers when they filter thru the jam, no point asking the 911
and 912 buses (of later schedule) to join in the jam. 
As for 903 wise, passengers were told to alight at Woodlands Centre
Rd, somewhere after the mosque. Nowadays the jam stretched until
the junction of Woodlands Centre Rd and Marsiling Rd. 
This has been testify personally before.
Sincerely hope SMRT to deploy their buses using the [b]newly drawn
opposing lane at Woodlands Centre Rd, and make an
"illegal" U-turn just before the Woodlands Centre carpark entrance,
to pick the passengers stranded at that particular bus stop (after
the junction of BKE and Woodlands Rd), so that those buses that
were stucked in the jam will not affect the frequency too
much.[/b]
Feeder svc like 178 & 187 routes that plied on WDL Ctr Rd
may be diverted. Svc 911, 912 & 913 drop passengers off
Marsiling Rd as a result of causeway jam. The bus driver asked me
to continue my journey at a bus stop at Woodlands Ctr Rd. They
should not close down Woodlands Int instead. (I mean Woodlands Int
as Woodlands Checkpt Terminus)
