  time to take pics of it ! , i'll try to take some pics & post it here

  Just a kind reminder :There is a rule that was mentioned in another bus forum that no taking of pictures of bus ints are allowed. Maybe you would like to take pics from the outside of the int (West Ctrl 3) ?

  What about 231G & 231W @ TPY?

  side by side. Even back at Toa Payoh Garden Temp Int, 231W/G and 232 W/G are side by side.
  
  But chances are, they may change berths last minute. TPY experienced this before its opening when they changed berths and fonts =p

  The berths arrangement at current Boon Lay Int allow you to choose svc 181 or 243G to Gek Poh...

  Last time, when 181 berth was next to 182 berth and next to 243, there will be one big group of people standing outside the queue, waiting to see which bus come first...
  
  Anyway, for the new BNL arrangement, that means all the buses will have to park at the "carpark", as in no more like the present 30, 154, etc? What about the SMRT buses?

  All SMRT services will become "loop" like sv180. Which makes me wonder...will sv172 "loop" at both ends or park at CCK int?

  Don't think that will be the prob. People going to Boon Lay Ave don't really queue anyway...hang around & wait for either 198 (Berth 2) or 174 (Berth 3). 174E buses are actually 174 crossovers, so the interval between 2 buses is still the same. 194 only got 2 buses.
  
  I think the main prob will be at Berth 8. 179 & 182 as well as the 180 bendies.
  
  192 missing from the list?

  Berth 6 should be 192, 243G, 257.
  
  Type too fast...
  
  Sorry for the error...

  Think 174e and another svc share Berth 7 but the wordings were too small to see, so will update aft I went there again.

  179? cos 1 berth for 179 is definitely not enough.

  You mean 172 currently loops @ CCK? I thought it had been under CCK route group since 1999.

  At the old interchange, 172, 178 & 187 used to park at the parallel berths. Did 172 operate as a loop service from BNL to CCK between 1999 & 2005?

  172 has always been this way since TIBS took over I think. It is not a loop service but it doesn't park at CCK.
