171 and 700 may be affected. When Gali Batu depot is ready 171
could terminate there while its city-bound leg gets covered by DTL
and other bus routes. 700 may be axed and its fleet divided up by
190 and 972.
If 171 gets truncated, 67 can be used as cover from Cashew MRT
to MCT, with the LTI-TAM leg of the latter incorporated into 65, as
there is already 66 between Bedok Reservoir and LTI. In fact, 66
makes the perfect DTL anchor as it runs parallel to the train line
from Beauty World to Bedok Reservoir, just like 2 with respect to
EWL and 147 with respect to NEL.
171 and 700 can only be affected if and when, "Central Singapore
Bus Rationalisation" could happen like London Buses consultation.
73 and 390 has been taking an example to this.
170 via Bt Panjang Rd, BKE, PIE, Stevens Rd, Bt Timah Rd since
no one might be stopping. But this might duplicate service 960.
Whereas 700 has more double deckers and 171 has no double
deckers on its fleet.
