Short Trip of Service 33B

New bus service to templeRETIREE Teo Chin Hye visits the Kuan Im Tng Temple in Tembeling Road every weekend.
But taking a bus from his home in Bedok to the well-known temple can be a hassle.
Like him, many devotees also take bus service 33, which operates between Bedok and Kent Ridge.
Now, packed buses and long waits could be a thing of the past.
Come Oct 18, SBS Transit will start new service 33B. Buses will ply between Bedok and Joo Chiat Place, close to the temple.
The service will be activated on the 1st and 15th days of the lunar calendar - but only if these auspicious occasions fall on a Sunday.
Apart from Oct 18, another date this year is Nov 1.
Ms Tammy Tan, SBS Transit's vice-president of corporate communications, said the company had noticed a boost in ridership on service 33 on auspicious dates, especially if they coincide with Sundays.
Hence, the introduction of 33B to target the temple devotees.
'The surge in ridership is only relevant for a portion of the route, so it would not make sense to deploy more buses as ridership returns to normal after the Joo Chiat stop,' she said of service 33.

Bro, Thanks for putting it up but SBST is goin 2 get flake for this lousy poster!
First, it did not indicate the bus top opp Suntec City[Marine Parade, Bedok bound] will be closed... people were waiting for buses[that will nev appear] at the bus stop last year, it will happen again...
Secondly, this poster is displayed onli at sv14,16 bus stops w/o goin full detailed that Nicoll Highway[after Suntec City twds Shenton Way]will be closed for the rest of the day xcept 5-9am...
Where's the responsibility of the public tpt operators to provide correct, accurate info?!
