took it but forgot to take down regos. yes, the fare stages were
pre-empted. jurong east starts with 10.0 while kota raya starts
with 9.0. i was filmed taking 786S from Kranji MRT, where the
photographers were filming 170X alongside with 160. it was the 2nd
bus to depart from jurong east int, reaching kranji at 11.15am.
another bus on 160 is 789J.
also, at JB-bound WL CKPT, the re-boarding queueing lanes have been
rearranged. 3 interchange-style lanes exclusively for singapore
public bus services (not counting SJE) have been set up, with 2 are
in use by 170/170X (they put 170 LARKIN) & 160 and an empty
lane, presumably for 950. a 4th lane has also been set up for that
one berth for CW2, which has a sticker pasted stating "COMING
SOON". on the way back, at SG-bound JB CKPT, the re-boarding queues
have been arranged under 170 and 160 respectively. further up is a
queue for CW1 and CW2. tis time round, the words EXPRESS SERVICE
was mentioned, and the operating hours are visible, but i could not
take down the timings since i was on the bus. at SG-bound WL CKPT,
normal 170 (Queen St) and 170X (Kranji MRT) queues are there, while
a third makeshift queue for 160 is alongside (like Bedok Int type
for low demand svcs).
anyway, CW2 is the RapidBus version of 170, plying same route by
skipping alternative stops. some stops it calls are Opp Sixth Ave,
Nat'l JC, Coronation Plaza (and u can imply from there).
