  I don't see the need for S9 S35 to be under Kembangan. Like in the past where Bedok Int berths are all occupied, former S34 pick its passengers up outside the MRT station bus stop.

  If the terminal i suggested only have 41 and 42 would be boring....so added 9 and 35, but it was just a fantasy deployment...ignore if you did not feel comfortable

  supporting you, de empty field land can be turned into a mini bus term [kembangan bus term] and suggests 9,35,41,42 to terminate there.

  S17 and S38, S69 also can. S18 cannot later duplicate S28 too much.

  It is not about boring or not. It is about whether if it's suitable or not. I am being realistic about such issues.

  Noticed that those bus stops that have Sv 115, have their posters taken down and same for the online poster over at SBS Transit website
  
  Suspect that the MP may intervene and may not have withdrawal for now?

  Hmm...

  Now seems that HGDEP have set aside 20+ Volvo MK3/MK4 spares (especially after some services got either fleet reduction or Scania K230UB redeployments). It could be reserved for new service 117.

  Not all new services get K230s straight from the start. Or rather, new services don't get new buses when they are newly introduced, except for S128.

  
  In fact I would think that SBST new services normally gets only standard fleets for a start, until when they prove to be a good demand then SBST will introduce DD fleets (or maybe WAB fleets). Same for SMRT and its bendies.

  I didnt know that the depot do not need any spare buses since your statement implies all the spares are to be used for S117.

  Reminds me of that time when SMRT withdrew CSS 608. Happened that SBST service16 later was extended to Bedok from Siglap Road using former CSS 608's route.

  For service 115's case, it will be better if SBST decides to maybe enhance service 119 to ply along service 115's routes if service 115 is to be withdrawn.

  Not very sure mah, think it also depends on how many fleets service 117 needs when it is to be introduced.

  I really do hope route 117 is a Hougang - Sembawang route - I could do anything to avoid using SMRT's services here, and also, Sembawang is in very serious need of attention from the bus companies too. I speculate that route 117 could be: Hougang > Sengkang Town Centre > Anchorvale Community Club > Jalan Kayu > TPE, SLE > Woodlands Avenue 12 and 10 > Sembawang, if it turns out to be a Hougang - Sembawang route.
