  There is no difference in both routes. Just that it serves a few other bus stop. Its such a minor change, why even open a thread for it?

  As long as there is a new service, one can expect to see a new thread on it.
  
  It is better than coming up with a thread like "Complains on certain buses" or a thread like "ALL you people..."
  
  So there you have it.
  
  Small changes like this, most probably east-siders take no notice to it anyway.
  Like 68. So useless. 31 so useless. 80, so useless.
  
  Thats cos im a west sider. So i see them as useless. SBS waste money on this kind of buses. But these are just examples only.

  Oh ya, some of you guys claim that the W is confusing...
  
  but 103W is one great example, so dont compare it with 243W

  then why must SMRT waste buses by operating it?

  Services 103/103W is actually the same route until it reaches Seletar Camp, where they go different routes.
  
  Services 243G/243W is the difference between Green and White plates, just like services 225G/225W, 231G/231W and 410G/410W. The difference is the directions travelled (clockwise or anti-clockwise).

  Hello!
  
  They still use the same number of buses as before!
  
  They just make alternate trips.
  
  And, there are passengers from that old stop 985W stops at.

  another service with a similar scheme is 214W and 214E which has mutated to the present day 103/103W

  Does the W (in 103/985) stand for anything?

  103W = West Loop
