Heh heh. Just when we were talking about a bus plying Chin Swee Road, SBST decides to amend 174 to ply Chin Swee Road.

Very Happy

I thought SBST website would be slow at updating service changes.. seems lilke they're getting pretty efficent Smile

There was once that the SBST website updated about 4 days after the amendment notice was put up at bus stops.

Zilchster SG

Seems that this amendment has something remotely connected with the NEL...

Svc 124 firstly...to bring residents to NEL...now 174...perhaps to bring ppl in Chin Swee to the NEL?

Looks like more services plying between Orchard and New Bridge might be amended..

alantanchunshyan SG

do all of u think 167,171,77,106,700 and 190 will be admended just like 174?

Better links to NE3 Outram Park more likely, hor?

^tamago^ SG

no.. this is SBS Transit's decision, nothing to do with TIBS and not a network rationalisation also.. if not, all our buses will squeeze into narrow Chin Swee Rd and Chinatown won't really get any more buses..

tranquilice SG

At the inconvenience of Eu Tong Sen St/New Bridge Rd passengers. Service 174 won't be plying the "heart" of Chinatown anymore.

tranquilice SG

There are currently 3 services between Orchard Rd and New Bridge Rd, ie. services 124, 174 and 190. 2 of them have been amended, so you mean service 190?

Superbus SG

There's still Service 143. So total 4 services.

Cheers and warm regards

tranquilice SG

Oh, yes I forgot. Everytime I get from Orchard to Chinatown or vice-versa, I would avoid taking service 143 as I have taken this service too often (service 143 serves my area) that I will find alternative services between Orchard and Chinatown.

Where do you live? Unless you enjoy taking a long and winding ride on Sv. 51, of course.

Clementi West.

Do you think admendment of 174 has to do with taking over rts of 603?

th1988 SG

Duplicate post

^tamago^ SG

dun think so… did CSS 603 ply Chin Swee Rd? nopes.. TIBS 190 is probably the duplicating route of CSS 603 for most parts..

^tamago^ SG

A LO3x, SBS9038J, is spotted on SBST 174 towards New Bridge Rd at Dunearn Rd (Aft Siwss Club Rd) at 7.14pm todae.. looks like SBST is putting DDs on 174..

th1988 SG

No, Sv 174 now duplicate with 603.

Orchard Road - Bras Basah - North/South Bridge Road - Upp Cross Street

Same rt right? 190 uses Hill Street (Clarke Quay)

xin1jun2 SG

it does come to my mind that 174 does not in anyway duplicate 603 in chiantown..so er...WHAT?!
