  Regarding the commencing of services from the depot. today i saw that, the former 263 also commenced from AMK Depot, to loop at AMK ind park II as well.

  263 later became a Townlink service. In addition, 143 operated out of JRDEP in the past before its closure.

  Does Townlink 268 allow boarding/alighting @ AMDEP?

  We also used to have 227 for Bedok North Depot and 323/329 for Hougang Depot.
  
  Currently, 91 also terminates at Ayer Rajah Bus Park.

  You sure? I thought 502 should be faster.. I estimated 30 mins to Clementi while 97 takes 40 minutes to Clementi...

  one reason why 263 was converted to townlink 268: 263 was supposed to charge industrial fares but then when the JIS fares were revised in 1997, it is inappropriate to call 263 as a "Jurong" Industrial service. hence it was renumbered as TL 268 in feb 1997.

  As long as SBST can earn $$$, why should they downgrade?

  Unless 502 has poor demand when there are express fares.

  Just to imagine that if Express Svc 502 has lesser demand on express fares, it will be converted into trunk svc.

  NONO. Wad i mean is that the FFW502e could have started from Tuas Terminal and provide direct and fast link to Boon Lay for the workers @ Tuas and yet another fast link to city.
  
  If not, the proposed 502A could be extended to Tuas Terminal for better connection.

  Excuse me, S502 is already an express service, why do it need to have FFw S502e? Think.

  semi-express means it's not as express as a truely express service like 502, but only half as fast. *shakes head*
