  This group of xovers runs in a nice fashion in terms of block no except the 105 one..

  sw-481 Duty 7S 199/334 AM xover. Does 334 at 0631hrs for 1 trip before going over to 199 for the rest of the day.

  sw-482 sw-483 mentioned earlier

  sw-282 Duty 26S 105/334 PM Xover. Does 334 at 1836hrs for 1 trip before going back depot. Reason being numbered sw282 cos the 1st xover block is done by the 199 bus. Seriously they should just standardise every damn block.

  sw-884 Duty 9S 243G/198 AM Xover. Does 243 in the morning till 0745hrs, then do S198 downroute from Jurong East Polyclinic to Bt Merah at 0809hrs. Does not do 198 in the evening.

  sw-985 sw-986 sw-987 mentioned earlier

  sw-888 Duty 65S 243W/198 AM Xover. Does 243 in the morning till 0740hrs, then do S198 downroute from Jurong East Polyclinic to Bt Merah at 0801hrs. Does not do 198 in the evening.

  For Q5 it was that first "demo" Mercz O405 you told me that day when the particular bus was pulling into Tampines Interchange rite? The one is Braddell or AMK Dep Sv. 22/31 or something?

   

  I think it was a service 22 though. Rite? Shit I didn't catch the rego that time...

  Actually to be honest I was thinking of this. But I just couldn't link the road whereby 174(and e) intersects with 506...

   

  And I think this is rite...

   

  This one will save a few min if the timing is rite.

   

  Walk from Joo Koon MRT Station to Upper Jurong Road. Take 182 or 182M to BLay Int. Change to 174 or 174e to Bukit Batok Central then 506 to Jln Toa Payoh. At Jln Toa Payoh take 966 to Jln Kolam Ayer and change to 23. Take 23 till Tampines Ave 1 and change to 15 till Pasir Ris Interchange. Walk to Pasir Ris MRT Station

   

   

  Save a few mins coz the bus will not go through Bedok Reservoir Road/KKBukit Ave 1 and/or Jln Eunos/Eunos Link.

  I was personally thinking if some Service B routes existed along there. And personally there are private drivers along there who would be more than happy to lompang you to BL Int for one buck.

  Any stop along Bukit Batok West. Cost wise this is not the most logical thing to do, as 174e only saves time along PIE while 174 leisures along Jurong Road for one or two minutes. Assuming in this case, every minute actually counts.
