Not too sure about that. No news from my friendly Bishan timekeepers. Hopefully its the case.Originally posted by 9800:In the future, SBST will be get a new service 58 from Tampines Int to Bishan Int..
Most probably SBST will extend service 81 to Bishan and not introduce such new service.Originally posted by 9800:In the future, SBST will be get a new service 58 from Tampines Int to Bishan Int..
Noticed that at the SMU or future NUS bus stopOriginally posted by tranquilice:The bus stop plates along the route have got "48" printed on them as on Friday.
It will stop beside.. Rochor Road, last time where Sv 125 callsOriginally posted by payne:Will there be enough passengers for the new service 48? Where does the bus stops? In front or beside bugis junction?
Nope... Dunearn Rd (@ Swiss Cottage) can't use DD as of how the tree grows thereOriginally posted by Tomas_Rosicko:will SBS deploy double deckers on this service?? can't tell yet..very rarely will they deploy DDs on a newly introduced service. i remembered when SBS introduced svc 88 to ply from toa payoh to pasir ris in 1998, the demand for this new service was so hot that they deploy DDs on it shortly after introduction
Towards Buona Vista: Along Rochor Rd outside New 7th Storey Hotel.Originally posted by payne:Will there be enough passengers for the new service 48? Where does the bus stops? In front or beside bugis junction?
In 1998, there was no service 88 yet. It was introduced on 28 Feb 1999.Originally posted by Tomas_Rosicko:will SBS deploy double deckers on this service?? can't tell yet..very rarely will they deploy DDs on a newly introduced service. i remembered when SBS introduced svc 88 to ply from toa payoh to pasir ris in 1998, the demand for this new service was so hot that they deploy DDs on it shortly after introduction

Yes, the only bus stop along Rochor Rd for this service will be outside Fu Lu Shou Complex. The bus stop outside New 7th Storey Hotel was made defunct when NR7 was amended.Originally posted by sbst275:... So call at Fu Lu Shou?

36 & 166 call at the old NLB building.Originally posted by loudmonkey:But 197 takes super long time to reach Bugis, 48 is express sector via ECP, thus it will be very much faster.
No, 36 doesnt go to Prinsep St, though to walk there from YMCA is near enuf I suppose. But the direct link to Selegie and Bt Timah from Marine should be a plus point.
Going by your logic, 16 should have been ordered to terminate at UEC long ago.Originally posted by muziq bus:I think this service is just to fill up the space in UEC and ensure that the future BV Int have enough trunk services. Going to Bedok int is unlikely. Maybe a new svc myt be introduced if 608 were to be withdrawn from its berth over at bedok. The small change over at C'wealth may be possible if future BV int is completed. The Bedok issue, should not be made into such a fuss. Its just a road!...SBS won't even bother it enters the town. SBST just wants to earn money. Which part of Bedok it plies won't matter...stop arguin'already..
Trees near Selarang camp or Punggol point can be pruned to suit DDs. Why not those along Bt Timah Rd (SCGS) or Henderson Rd?Originally posted by sbst275:Nope... Dunearn Rd (@ Swiss Cottage) can't use DD as of how the tree grows there
