  Sv 502 could be splitted up into two

  it could mean Sv 181 can extend to IMM to link up

  I dun see what's so 'express' about 502 when it takes more than an hour from Suntec to Jurong West area.

  But I like the service for that direct connection from Jurong to Orchard.

  Tmr last day. Do ur tributes before they go off!!

  ->105090:There ish. 57_A that operates from _______ town to Suntec City. Suggested to take the 1130am 57_A then you can catch the 57_ one.

  Express 518 should have dds!! I mean they should not use the steep ECP entrance so that dds can be deployed!! Use the ECP entrance near Palmer Rd there...

  I fully agree with sbs3715c. Express 518/518A/518B should have double decker bus (at least during peak hrs).

  So you want a Volvo B9TL or a Super Olympian to run on Express 518/518A/518B?? Hmm, that would be interesting.

  Since you insist of Express 518 to have double-decks, then instead of plying through Republic Blvd, ply through Raffles Ave, Esplanade Drive, Collyer Quay, Raffles Quay, Shenton Way & turn left towards ECP. There you can enjoy the scenary of the city skyline especially at night and can pickup office workers at Shenton Way to go back to the eastern side of singapore & at the same time more suitable for it to have DD.

  If Express 518 is to ply Shenton Way to get to ECP, the service may has very low demand at Shenton Way during off-peak. As I have mentioned earlier, just amend the service to ply PIE and CTE bi-directional.

  U nvr see ah, or u dunno how to read english?

  CityShopper 578 59 and 581 will cease operating from 27/07/09. Means that 26 ish the last day. Maybe u wan go with me later? At around 6 or 7

  I somehow come out with a pattern

  579:
  1000*->1030*->1100^*->1130*->1200->1230->1300->1330->1400->1430
  2834Z->2684P->2645^->1915->2834->2684->2645->1915->2834->2684

  1500->1530->1600->1630->1700->1730->1800->1830->1900->1930
  2645->1915->2834->2684->2645->1915->2834->2684->2645->1915

  2000--->2030-->2100-->2130*"->2200*"
  2834Z->2684P->2645->1915->2834
