  I will still prefer the old express 501 and 502 going to Hougang than the new premium bus services. It is way too expensive.

  That would mean that these servicres would be considered as basic plus, which most likely PTC wouldn't allow them as basic plus due to "duplication with existing MRT lines".

  everything also that PTC say one loh..
  this one can, this one cannot also they say one..
  
  but i think should allow it be basic plus, so that the fare is affordable, and more ppl will take bus instead of drive to City...

  Deployments for today more or less done. I believe it will keep changing and expecting weekday buses to be different as well.

  I know 19 is one of them... but I thought those Premium services depend on crossover buses fully and not SP? Unless... these SP buses did those services it was supposed to pluck buses from.

  Man... I wonder how many people were at Suntec shooting buses today.
  
  How was business on those services on their first day?
