  Maybe the services that goes to suntec city/marina square are the likely candidate for the 3 unknown services

  Haha... 8 to make it sound nicer. LOL...
  
  I agree with you.
  
  Hope 502 and 518 gets better frequency and less complains with fleet adds after the extension. =)

  High chance for 502 to terminate at Shenton Way. Route way too long.
  
  518 probably passing by. Maybe extended to ply MBS and then to ECP before going to expressway.

  Speaking of Sv 133, i have a sense of the KUD being deployed on the first day of MBS.

  by right amdep and slbp shldnt have killed so many merc.. they never consider of this!! if got a lot of spare merc can use it for the extension liao.

  i just checked ett. 502 dun have timings from seating gallery for its new schedules. similarly 162 changed schedule but still has timings from seating gallery. thus, it is likely that it will not be amended but looks like change of 1N crossover svc with a new mon-fri schedule effective 26/04/2010. o.o or could it be nite owl amend? :s

  for sv97 the ett has no timings for its route from fullerton rd (fullerton sq) - raffles quay (one raffles quay) at all meaning the route should be from robinson rd to marina blvd to marina bay sands and central blvd back from marina sands to shenton way and continue the rest of the route.

  these bus stops that Sv 502 passing through towards slbp dont hav arrival timings since the new bus stop pole has installed. at the jurong west ave 1 stretch, blk 425 bus stop have, but blk 463 and blk 490 dont?

• tintinspartan

  21 Apr 10, 00:39

  I wonder NR1 and NR6 will be made to pass by MBS also.

  502 new schedules can be obtained right up to the slbp bus stop, especially since we know now how many stops there are at MBS and Marina Bay (106 poster). Problem is as long as the Route Infomation window isnt updated with the new route, a click on it will give no timings.

  If the NightOwls have a change, 65 132 will have e-tt changes also. they very united.. One for all, all for one. Not like NR1 NR3 and NR6, good thing about NR is free xfer if not they wont be able to route their NRs like this.

  Though not specified which services. Anyone knows which services will be amended?

  
  The 8 routes to be amended are:

  97, 97e, 106, 133, 502, 502A, 518, 518A

  Service 97 and 97e will terminate at Marina Centre terminal.

  Service 106 and 133 will terminate at Shenton Way terminal.

  Service 502 will return to Jurong East / Jurong West via ECP and AYE.

  Unless for special reasons (like 293), all other services with supplementaries from Niteowl services would have a Mon-Thu and a seperate Fri.

  162 reverting to Mon-Fri means it's getting rid of it's relationship with 1N.

  502 and 518 new schedules all have Mon-Thu and a seperate Fri.

  14 is reverting back to Mon-Fri; it is getting rid of it's relationship with 4N.

  Hope I'm clear enough. :)
