NineGrains SG A new service 57 from Bishan to Bukit Merah will be launched on 31 July 2005 (Sunday)! The route includes Bishan-Toa Payoh-Whitley-Newton-Bugis-Suntec City-Shenton Way-Keppel- Telok Blangah-Alexandra-Depot-Bukit Merah. Frequency 12-15 mins. Bishan: 6am-11.30pm; Bukit Merah: 5.45am-12am For the detailed route, please refer to SBST website. Any comments on route, passenger loads, possible use of bus model(s)? I can't believe SBST has introduced *another* new service! Excellent news!!
muziq bus SG YA its real and is very hard to believe! So many new services....wat bout smrt....haiz...
NineGrains SG I wonder if Service 59 will ever come back to Bishan. There used to be SBS 59 from Bishan to Jalan Kayu, which then became TIBS 59 from Ang Mo Kio to Jalan Kayu. Now they have a nice series of numbers: 54 55 56 57 and 58. Only Service 410 appears to be the odd one out now. Maybe SBST should renumber it 459.
NineGrains SG On the other hand, Bukit Merah Interchange will also have a new service Yippee!! Poor thing...in recent years, it lost 36, 63, 124, 125. Now at least it has a new service.
NineGrains SG Muziq bus..yeah you are right in bringing up the dim future prospects of Service 274. Possibility of it being withdrawn since the route duplicates SBST 57. I think Depot Road residents, CMPB and HP staff will prefer to have two services to Depot road, rather than one. Frequency of a feeder service will still be higher than a feeder service? Hmm....

[/b]What do you mean???
NineGrains SG Hmm...sbskidz..not too sure which part you are confused by. SBST 274: long-time Bukit Merah feeder service serving Depot Road SBST 57: new service will duplicate SBST 274. CMPB: Central Manpower Base (you will need to go there for enlistment/reservist/exit permit matters) HP: Hewlett Packard (computer/technology MNC) Both CMPB and HP staff presumably take SBST 274 to work if they don't drive/take taxi. (Although it is possible they may take SBST 145, 272, 273 and SMRT 176 too) MNC: multi-national company which operates in many countries/territories.
105090 SG its a high chance sv274 / 275 be chopped, with a 131B could be introduced to copy sv275 route to improve frequency..
