thought they rejected this proposal last year?
then, they also wanted to ply via Jln Jurong Kechil too. -
Can't the topic poster just put the topic and the information up on this thread instead of linking people to another forum...wanna shamelessly advertise for another forum also no need to resort to this...very inconvenient leh...brudder.
Oh, the part to amend 506 to ply jln jurong kechil was not approved, the uec extension was approved a few mths back lar. -
Must be because UEC is also under-utilised like the minister said.
-
The Jurong Kechil part was not approved, I guessed is due to duplication with 985? WTF
-
More likely due to the cross-territorial thingie or smething
-
Can it get near to East Coast park?
-
Saw the SBS e guide
Freq: 15-22 mins
Asking for trouble, already the old freq during peak hrs already cannot cope... Dun tell me they've forgotten ppl are carrying bags -

The ridership for today is quite normal , except for the Bedok North part , there is still some people thought the bus will go to Bedok Int ... and they was quite shock when the BC told them the route already extended. -

that has got to be the dumbest thing sbstranist did since citybuzz and s57
prediction SBS will bleed with 3 extra buses for this extension
reasons:
bedok camp ppl are saying that it goes TPY yes but 2.35/ no way
go bedok redsv from UEC good. fare so high not good.
at any rate the svc has been suffering from low demand anyways so they might as well withdraw it
985 and 59 more than covers up for it -
Not to forget, SBST extended it to CGA once but kena shorten it to bedok now, to UECOriginally posted by ZYX2005:that has got to be the dumbest thing sbstranist did since citybuzz and s57

59 and 985 doesnt serve at the same stop so 506 is more convnien for travel between bedok and bb/Je -
The extension to CGA was good lor, the most stupid thing to do is to end at Bedok Int. Last time got direct bus to CGA now hafta change to 24 at Bedok...Originally posted by SBS2679E:Not to forget, SBST extended it to CGA once but kena shorten it to bedok now, to UEC
