Can either 123 or 275 be extended to Harbourfront Bus Interchange? It's kind of troublesome for 123 to loop back all the way to Bukit Merah.
Merged 242 and 181 to become Townlink 242? cool man!

Maybe 123 can follow 131 route to HBF, what do yall think?

It is better to terminate 96 @ Clementi n then loop @ K Ridge, using e same route u proposed.
And for 123 to follow 131, what is it about? Does it mean terminating at Harbour Front n ther routes of both svcs unchg-ed all what?

No point duplicating 131's route. Actually I see no point in extending both 123 and 275 to Harbourfront especially when there is 131 plying Bukit Purmei. (Although it passes by Telok Blangah area before heading towards Harbourfront)
If those pax in Bt Purmei want to travel to Harbourfront alternatively they can take 65 and 855 at Lower Delta Road also. It is a waste of resources to extend 123 and 275 to Harbourfront.

For sv 96, can explain why not loop it at clementi instead? Cuz im thinking ppl who take the MRT just need to go down to the bus stop rather than walking to the int
For 123 follow 131, means yeah, just route of both svcs unchanged. Cuz AJQZC said for 123 to go to Harbourfront instead, so i thought maybe from bt purmei it take 131 rt to harbourfront.
i have a suggestion here for 858. thinking for a few days already, decided to post it on here.

This diversion into Tampines is to allow residents who are travelling to Tampines from Woodlands and Yishun have another alternatives, and this allows the service to stop at more stops in Tampines, unlike Service 969 that only stops at the interchange as the only stop in Tampines. Please comment.

Why not swap 969 instead, make it go Tampines Ave 10 -> 9 -> 7 -> 4 -> 5 -> Central 2? 858 route too long already, dont make it longer.

Alternatively, 96 can terminate at Dover MRT instead, looping at K Ridge Ter. Convenience to both pax n BCs. (no jams)
look at e condition outside Clementi MRT sometime next week n u'll no y, when new poly term starts.
(Buses park along C'Wealth West - facing West bound to NUS. Buses arriving Dover unload opposite n come in to park, using e U-turn further east along e road)

S858 does not need to have that extension. It's route is already long enough. People going into Tampines from Woodlands have the best alternative that they have - S168. 35 minutes from WRI to Tampines town.
People going into Tampines from Yishun, just take S969. 40 minutes reach Tampines. Then change. Alternatively, take S39 or S858 to Jalan Kayu, then change S168. 40 minutes reach Tampines Town also. There's a reason why certain services ply the Jalan Kayu bus stop and some don't.
S969 is a very high demand service. The loading at Tampines during evening peak hours is just madness. This is one of the best-planned routes ever SMRT has created, I say. Gives people working in the east a very direct link to the North. i.e. People living at Yishun and up get to benefit from journey times less than an hour. 1 trip up is 1 hour, 1 trip down is also 1 hour. And it skips all stops at Tampines because there are other services like S168 to cover it. People just need to change at Jalan Kayu to either S39 or S858 to Yishun.
And even after relieving about 50% of its load at Yishun MRT, S969 continues to be packed. Alot of people take S969 from Yishun MRT because it's one of the shortest link currently into Woodlands Town.
How can I not say this is a good route planned?

Uh, I believe it skips the stops at Tampines because of the location of Tampines Interchange...PTC ruling for cross territorial services.

=O
Anyway, it was a good decision. Can't imagine if every bus that leaves Tampines already packed to the door, still need to pick pax. :)

Maybe end at Kent Ridge would be better, i think LTA would not allow SMRT buses anyhow cross into a SBST boundary, Kent RIdge is fine.

Dunno if this is redundant though.
