Considering the operator is SMRT instead of Tower Transit,
there's a possibility that bus service 944 belongs to the
Choa Chu Kang-Bukit Panjang negotiated contract,
instead of Bulim bus package.
After all, it was mentioned before on SGforums that a bus
service would be withdrawn. Bus Service 944 could be the
replacement.
If so, the withdrawal of that bus service could be one day
before the commencement of new bus service 944.
Nonetheless, let's wait for the official press release from
SMRT.
Meanwhile, I don't remember there was any mention about Bulim
bus package having new bus route, just more buses: from 367 buses
to about 500 buses in 2021.
I also don't remember CCK-BPJ package got any new svc but hell
no.So 367 to 500 additional fleet ah?Its more to cronies la...SMRT
lose Bt batok,Part of Yishun but gain a few new svc and possibly
the Bt Merah package,SBST lose Jurong East,Pasir Ris and Punggol
but also will gain few new svc,Part of Yishun and possibilities of
winning the upcoming packages also
