  i dunt mean to split 243, i mean can merge 243G and 243W, then change its route a bit to provide the connection to pioneer mrt from neighborhood 8

  Maybe Scania K230UBs on new feeder 241, so that SBST don't have to print out new destos .

  I think better dun touch 243G/W, because these 2 svc ply along many schools and there are no alternative like Svc 99.

  My friend SMS me said he saw SBST vehicle twice putting up poster at bus stops...

  1st time put up 405 operating days poster when he was on bus
  2nd time put 241(new)/242(amended) poster when he was at home

  OT : Service 194 will be relocated to Berth 7 from Berth 3 with effect from 14th Mar 09 -> make way for new service 241?

  Svc 99 popular to Boon Lay Sec, Juying Sec, Pioneer Pri/Sec, West Grove Pri, Xingnan Pri(but of cos, 99 is infested with BLSS students than other sch during morning)

  Svc 243 popular to Pioneer Pri/Sec,  Jurong West Pri, Boon Lay Sec only.

  I'm talking abt West St 62 tat side. You can't really use 257 cos of it's last bus ops timing imo

  looks like Sv 99 gotta have SWT within Jurong West Extn liao

  use 241 to cover st 62 lol... never mind lah... maybe shouldnt change 243....

  IMO they should swop 241 & 242. 242 has been serving St 91/92 for years ever since BNL Int start operating. This sudden change will cause alot of confusion to the residents living there.

  OMG

  the new service 241 is the one that i dream of having it

  the 2 bus-stop that are affected for new svc 242 is Blk 817 & Blk 745. Lucky, these people are not affected. Here's why:

  1)Blk 817 bus-stop commuters can use the opposite bus-stop & take new 242 to get to interchange

  2)Blk 745 bus-stop commuters can walk abit to st 75 to take 243W or cross opposite to Blk 729 bus-stop to take new 242(but then 1 whole round lor)

  But, svc 99 will be greatly affected...

  Agree, morning would be chaos. Svc 99 would be flooded. Students heading to the 3 schools at JW st 91. SBST is waiting for their complain.

  They would have to; realise the load factor is at the JW Street 9X sector and since 241 plies through that portion - DDs.

  possible can have Sv 99M: Jurong West St 91 -> Boon Lay Ave -> Jurong West Ave 2 -> Jurong West St 91
