Extend 133 to Tampines via marina centre via expressway !! We might see Scania N113 buses on 133 !!!!

133 won't suffer lah. It does not overlap with the NEL much. But 85 has a ->100% probability of being withdrawn.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Ohh that is interesting because one the NE starts , some bus routes are going to suffer !! like bus 133 and 85 .

Hard to say about service 85. SBST might have other plans for this service, for example, extension to SembawangOriginally posted by SBS9819Y:133 won't suffer lah. It does not overlap with the NEL much. But 85 has a ->100% probability of being withdrawn.

Extend this service to Sembawang? Possible in the sense that 86 is in AMK (consider a North district), and there isn't any svc accessing to sembawang via sengkang, therefore 85 MIGHT extends to Sembawang. On the contrary, it wouldn't extend to sembawang as the journey is rather short.Originally posted by off_service:Hard to say about service 85.

Don't forget TIBS service 965:Originally posted by SBS9816E:Extend this service to Sembawang?

Woodlands - Yishun - Sengkang via TPE/SLE -
I hope so HR. This service (133) grows with me since I was born.Originally posted by SBS9819Y:133 won't suffer lah. It does not overlap with the NEL much. But 85 has a ->100% probability of being withdrawn. -
Oh yah! Forgot all about Svc 965!Originally posted by off_service:Don't forget TIBS service 965:

and it's Tibs territory. Does SBS have to seek permission from Tibs?Originally posted by SBS9816E:Extend this service to Sembawang?

Since TIBs have buses in Tampines and bedok area , they should allowed SBS in Sembawang .

Organise a NEL joy ride!
-
Even with the opening of NEL , i will stick to buses .
-
NEL joyride? Don't waste your time!(still hoping for Kum Foong to approve my FOSBST application! )

Saying a truth, after taking trains to school everyday, I'm VERY VERY sick of trains, especially those old trains which can make you sweat with the heat with the train is crowded.Originally posted by oliver_yuen87:Organise a NEL joy ride! -
Adui, the NEL always get delayed. I think I would rather stick to buses unless I need to rush to get to somewhere by train.Originally posted by SBS9818A:NEL joyride? Don't waste your time!(still hoping for Kum Foong to approve my FOSBST application! ) -

Don't worry, no cars will end up on the tracksOriginally posted by Airbus330Captain:Same here , no Mrts for me , no matter how new the trains are . -
if the NEL opens:
i will use it to get to sengkang and punggol for furute bus pottings.
it is speculation that the 983x and 984x newe VSOs will be relased on launch day.
Services 111 and 97 and 107 and 147 could be withdrawn.
i doubt 82 will be touched.
services 81, 133 , 106 may also be admended. -
I think the bus ammendment will come in one month later.Originally posted by xin1jun2:if the NEL opens:

I was wondering how Svc 133 and 106 going to be amended after the launch of the NEL! I hope that my svc 133 does not amended to a very far place!!Originally posted by xin1jun2:if the NEL opens:

If service 133 is to be amended, I speculate that it will be amended to ply to Marina Centre via Kallang Bahru.Originally posted by oliver_yuen87:how is 106 going to be ammended? 106 is Tibs also..
As for 106, I don't think Tibs will touch that route. -
I don't mind Svc 133 turns into Kallang Bahru! As long as it can go to Marina Centre, it's fine with me! =)Originally posted by off_service:If service 133 is to be amended, I speculate that it will be amended to ply to Marina Centre via Kallang Bahru.
