  Marina Centre Terminal > C'wealth Dr > Tiong Bahru MRT

  Alexandra Hospital > C'wealth Dr > Tiong Bahru MRT.

  YOG K230s are all along under SBST. You talking revenue service ah? Some private buses are still around at Boon Lay to help ferry the people in the YOV to the airport. The K230 shuttle buses that ply between Boon Lay Int and Faculty Ave/Nanyang Cres ended yesterday.

  kinda funny.

  But 195A's main demand is Bt Merah tis leg. It's macham bao gar liow MRT feedering Sv.

  Tiong Bahru <> Telok Blangah. Tiong Bahru <> Depot Rd <> Queenstown.

  and yes, if you see crowd at Queenstown MRT towards CBD, it's more likely for Sv 195 de.

  River Valley, Great World leg demand is very low compared to HDB leg.

  So SBS could save 2 - 3 buses by u-turning them at Tiong Bahru instead of running full leg. It's like 170 & 170X abeit dist coverage much diff.

  Hi all,

  I am interested to view, maybe download photos of the different buses & vehicles used during YOG 2010. Would anyone share the links?

  Maybe this had been asked before, but some buses have black boxes with the "SingTel" label on them. What's their purposes & what's written on the labels?

  Thanks.
