I think one stop along Depot Rd is still listed as "Hwa Yi Sec Sch" even though the school has shifted to Jurong.

What about the stop after CLE MRT? Last I checked it said "Blk 440". But the block of flats has since gone.

toa payoh lor 4 (S11 food alley) should now read 600 toa payoh or opp Blk 73 instead. S11 food alley in toa payoh has closed several years ago to make way for this current 600 TAP building.

For the bus stop (blk 5) along punggol rd, that blk has already been torn down about half a year ago.

tampines st 45 opp blk 489c should rename as opp dunman sec sch.
simei ave aft upp changi rd should rename as ITE College East.
simei ave b4 upp changi rd should rename as opp ITE College East.

12.5 NORTH BUONA VISTA RD OPP BUONA VISTA STN Details here AGENCY FOR SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & RESEARCH

Above quote was from SBSTRANSIT SBST200 bus guide.

Why ASTAR? More appropriate should be MOE, Biopolis or Buona Vista Technopark. I will definitely miss my stop if I am looking for ASTAR, there is no such building.
