  From The Straits Times Home page 2,
  
  - SBS Transit to operate 6 new Premiums from 30 June. They are from Bukit Timah Road, Farrer Road, Pandan Valley, St Michael's, Sennett Estate, Meyer Road.
  
  - SMRT to operate 2 new Premiums "towards the end of the month". They are from Woodlands and Sin Ming.
  
  - Premium Rent-A-Car to operate new Alexandra Road-Orchard Road premium service.
  
  - New operator Premium Surfer and Singapore Surfer to operate 2 new services. They are from Woodlands to Suntec City and Woodlands to Bendemeer Road.
  
  
  Finally Woodlands gets its share of premiums...

  Something interesting for Premium 587. Based on the route details given, it will most probably... ...do a u-turn at the junction of Woodlands Avenues 5/6.

  some errors? but as somebody say, anything is possible. But the price is S$5.00/trip and SMRT give this bus 30 mins to travel from WDL Ave 3 to Scotts Road.. bus must be using shoulders on BKE/PIE then.. considering the traffic situation on BKE/PIE during morning peak hours.
