  I expected 608 to stay till the CCL rationalisation starts. Didn''t think the orange buses would vanish into the history books so soon.

  My dad used to drive CSS Service 6.

  Hmm, I remember this route had Comfort minibuses. Plied from Bt Merah to MacPherson via Chinatown and Little India.

  IMO, GLBP can function as a base for SMRT bus routes terminating in the city or the East side.

  Will there be any new bus service to replace the CSS608 route? Overcrowding in other services e.g Sv16 or Sv196 will commence after the withdrawal of CSS608 heading towards city.

  Wait for ERL & CCL to start running.

  classic!
  i remember taking the blue comfort buses when i was young. they seem to go many place.
  still can remember the conductor punching the tickets and when they arent there, there'll be a OMO board up.

  Thankz to new LTA ruling, the bus will very much remain the same except that the livery will be in SMRT livery instead of Orange CSS livery.

  Care to elaborate on that rule?
  
  Anyway, will we be seeing the ex-CSS buses on normal SMRT bus routes anytime soon?

  But CCL or ERL is unlikely to serve into the heart of Shenton Way w/o any transfer
  
  Looks like Sv 10, 16, 196 needs to strengthen the fleet liao
  
  Sv 186 maybe also

  - All newly registered buses have to be Euro4. Unless you tell me that the UDs are Euro4 and above.

  the LTA ruling now will disallowed the re registration of these CSS buses
  
  they will be repainted t the most in smrtbuses liv.
  
  of all bus companies SMRtbuses is the worst. withdraw so many nice svcs. now even nice nice 608 also want to cut when got high demand
  
  to me smrtbuses is now the worst ever bus company ever with no WAB buses. if they dun pull up their socks i gonna seriously avoid taking their buses where possible.
  
  ZYX
  hate SMRTbuses for withdrawal 608

  Bt Merah Int Ganges Ave
  Ganges Ave Shenton Way/Nicoll Highway/Stadium area
  
  and that this sv is plying in SBST's territories thats maybe...
