This has been discuss somewhere in this forum, apparently there's a mistake i think.

Isn't service 852 being proposed to extend to Sembawang Interchange in the future?

Anyway, the proposal was rejected... so... back to ground state....

Just a rumour. I think it will never happen.

Don't think it will happen. Do you know that service 852 was planned to be withdrawn in 1996 when Woodlands MRT extension opened? At the last minute, the plan was not implemented but the route was shortened from Yishun - Boon Lay to Yishun - Bukit Batok.The service was almost withdrawn in 1996, now SMRT applied for a cutback of route to AMDEP. So I don't think the route will be extended.

A bit off topic, but...

Until then, I guess the rational heads at PTC will never allow anything to happen to these two routes. Personally, I can nearly gurantee you that these two routes will go to SBS Transit when LTA takes over the central planning of bus routes and auctions off these two routes.

If SMRT really successfully amends 852 to terminate at AMK depot, all the students along the stretch of schools along Bt Timah that live at Bullion Park and north beyond will seriously screw SMRT upside down. Think they don't know how many HCJC, NJC & NYGS people utilise 852 everyday. -

Well, if nobody takes these two routes in that event, LTA will force it on someone. We all know their style.

it'll be bundled up somehowactually 178 do have its uses

I took 178 practically every day during my younger days...
-
Probably they could amend the route slightly to make it more profitable?

as mentioned above it is a typo.... don't think you can try to make suggestions on your rivals' services serving their own residents right?
