  I'm not too sure abt tis

  But I've a feeling e bus gotta enter Meyer Rd via Tg Katong Rd Sth so 195 can be a good canidate

  
  Bedok South Rd, Bedok South Ave 1, ECP, u-turn at Fort Rd exit, ECP, Tg Katong Rd South, Meyer Rd.

  I dont understand why they didnt want to use a Shenton Way Terminal service.

  Also the one going bukit timah is it this BLUE ARROW 306 bus last time?

  Yo!

  The blue arrow services in the 80s are still in our memories,

  301 is from Bedok Gdn to Robinson Rd (via Lucky Heights)

  303 is from Tai Kheng Gdns to Robinson Rd

  305 is from Mayflower Gdns to Robinson Rd

  306 is from Eng Kong Gdns to Robinson Rd

  Yes, 306 is the one that serves Bt Timah area.

  And for your clarification, Sennett Estate and Sennett Rd are TWO different places

  Sennett Estate is at Upp S'goon Area near Potong Pasir, whereas Sennett RD is off Upp East Coast Rd where Chai Chee Secondary School stands, in Lucky Heights.

  definitely. so many KUB on 100. preventive maintenance surely SBST would put them to cross.

  if you realised, a lot of crossovers from services with Scania K230UB are using the Scania K230UB.

  When the premium is running, the FFws and 196A is running as well. 196A is needed to serve the Parkway and Tg Rhu residents to shenton way that's why got 2 buses for 196A during AM Peak (41S 42T). hence I dont think the xover is from 196.

  Sv196A will probably be going 1 x extra DD[3 buses total] as demand has increased, will wait till monday to see new premiums x-over

  Anyone can get it, not SOMEONE.

  561 guides available at Toa Payoh or S26 buses, 563 on S100, 564 on S157 or some other slbp buses, 565 on S21 especially SBS382Z and 566 at Bedok Int office or some S9 buses.
