Diversion Of Service Due To Forest Fire
-
Saw Service Been Diverted From Bukit Batok West Ave 3 To Bukit Batok Ave 1.
Service Affected, 66, 157, 174, 176, 178, 188 And 506.

Yeah... I saw it too.
There is a SBS Transit van guiding SBST services on the diversion.
Goes like this the amended route:
Bukit Batok West Avenue 3 > Bukit Batok West Avenue 6 > Bukit Batok Avenue 1 > Bukit Batok Central
I think the diversion is for one way only. The side closer to the fire.
About 5 fire engines or more deployed to stop the forest fire from spreading.
187, 188, 947, 985 not affected by diversion although there are also fire engines along Bukit Batok West Avenue 2. The fire hydrant happens to be on the other side along Bukit Batok West Avenue 2. Bus had to pass through the thick water hoses to get through. -
The weather these days really sucks...

hmm.. wouldnt it have been better if they just skipped ave 6 portion. going by ave 6 is like so super long luhh. might as well just take 187 route up to bt gombak area. -
They Need To Alight And Pick Passenger At The 2 Bus Stop Along Ave 6.

Cannot. Cos base on the 188 route itself, they have to continue to serve the bus stops until at Bt. Batok West Ave 3.To add on:
Along the diversion route, there will be a stop for alighting passengers only, at a 173 route bus stop. Because theres a Bt Batok Polyclinic near there. SL will put the EZ-link readers "OUT OF SERVICE" until the svc.173 bus stop. -
got pixs of the bus diversion? :D

Currently no. Cos i'm on TIB1026C of 188. Hard to take pics. Plus bus have to go through humps, so its not suitable for me.But you can ask SBS8533C. Cos he also took 188, trying out the rd diversion.
-
how much longer is the diversion is going to be?
-
I was on TIB752X On 188 and this bus plies through Bt Batok West Ave 8 and Bt Batok Ctrl.. Got ppl wanted to take 188 to go to CCK from that diverted bus stop but the BC says that they cannot board from that bus stop cos the bus stop is not meant for sv 188..
Also saw SBS buses like 66, 174, etc, plying along diverted route of Bt Batok West Ave 6.. (the part where Bt Batok West Ave 3 opp Bt Batok Polyclinic to the stretch until Opp Blk 127/128 is closed for SCDF standby, so upon the junction of Bt Batok West Ave 6, they have to ply along the diverted route and thereafter continuing its journey at Bt Batok Ctrl)
So sorry, I got no pix of it.. -

Until the fire brigate and police thinks its safe, then the road will be reopened. But i heard from my dad that they will be there to standby even if the fire is put out. So still not sure have to wait for how many days. -
No Idea, Think Till The SCDF Give The All Clear. Traffic Controller Are Still Station Along The Diverted Route Now.
