Bus Trivia Challenge: anyone can open new question
-
Effective last Monday or one of the Mondays this month. 60A will be shortened to Eunos - Bedok Reservoir Rd (Blk 60Originally posted by SBS9889U:17 Nov 2002 if i aint wrong. Before 7 Nov 2004, Sv60A was very useful especially during PM Peak hours but since 7 Nov 2004, 60A was not as useful to passengers already as Sv60 already covers that area before going to Bedok. Wonder why SBST recently just updated Sv60A's bus stop plate with IRIS Info
ONLY. No more looping back to Eunos Interchange. SBST finally woke up. -
