It was the 3rd NDP route diversion but I still see BCs driving the wrong diverted route. I saw 2 such incidents.
SBS 2795 C (Service 107 to Marina Centre) was along Beach Rd towards Bras Basah Rd, BC then turned the bus right into Middle Rd. This happened at 4pm plus. This diverted route is used by service 107 to Shenton Way but not by service 107 to Marina Centre. BC should had turned the bus right into Beach Rd from Ophir Rd instead of left.
SBS 9841 G (Service 133) was along Beach Rd towards Rochor Rd/Ophir Rd. At the junction with Middle Rd, instead of proceeding straight to Ophir Rd to enter Marina Centre, BC turned the bus left into Middle Rd towards Victoria St and skipped Marina Centre.

i told SBST about it & this is their reply:
Feedback on Temporary Bus Diversion for NDP
We refer to your feedback which we received on 30 June 2005.
2 Please be informed that all affected bus captains were brief on the temporary bus diversion for the National Day Parade Rehearsal. Posters were also displayed on the exit door of all affected buses as well as affected bus stops to keep passengers informed. Traffic Inspectors were also deployed at critical road junctions to assist bus captains.
3 Due to the diversion and movement of the army heavy vehicles before, during and after the rehearsal, a number of roads, such as, Beach Road were heavily congested and some of our buses were caught in the jam, thus causing commuters the long wait.
2 weeks ago, i saw 2 sv162 turn left 2 middle Rd, ignoring their supposed route to Suntec & 1 sv56 got lost along Nicoll Highway & i helped it get bac to Temasek Boulevard... Sheesh
