tranquilice SG Service 88 was PAC when introduced in Feb 1999. 2.5 months later (May 1999), it was converted to FAC.
tranquilice SG It serves the expressway as it has no alternative route between Sengkang and Pasir Ris.
tranquilice SG When Punggol and Seletar get more developed, there will be alternative roads to TPE. Once that happens, existing services plying along TPE may be amended to ply these normal roads to get more passengers and open up new links.
SBS9818A SG Hopefully. Because currently there is too much duplication along TPE. Sv. 86 can ply the new roads, and Sv. 161 too.
tranquilice SG Yes, I hope too. Do you think service 86 will continue to serve Jln Kayu and seletar camp gate when these areas are re-developed? I think maybe it will one day plys Sengkang West like service 163.
SBS9818A SG I think eventually Sv. 86 will still serve Seletar Camp and Jln Kayu. It's the only service besides Sv. 103
th1988 SG Redevelopment? Selatar Airport is staying there for good. The West and East camp will still be there as it is part of RSAF Land base (I think)
tranquilice SG But service 86 going via Jln Kayu to and fro Sengkang is very winding. Perhap a more direct alternative service to serve Sengkang and Jln Kayu only?
th1988 SG I agree that many SAF bases have moved out ever since Selatar became like what happened to PLAB but of opposite. But RSAF does not have enough space at Murai Camp for land base missile.
SBS9818A SG Which will be quite pointless as few passengers alight at SK unless they are transferring to 858!
