  Thanks, because I noticed pairs of bus stops opposite of each other with their numbers ending with '1' and '9'.

  While there are some others ending with '2', '3' or '8'...for example, the bus stop outside Hub Synergy Point along Anson Road is '03222' while the bus stop outside International Plaza along the same road is '03223'.

  The new Citaro is using a standard OM936 299hp@2200rpm/1200nm@1100rpm 7700cc and Citaro G is OM470 350hp@2200rpm/1700nm@1100nm 10700cc right?

  Hi there, anyone know how to get from mindef to science park fastest time? 

   

  I already tried 963, quite crowded and slow at times.

   

  Thanks!

  963 is your best bet... should be better now given that service has received quite a bit of capacity upgrade.

  I feel 963 will be still faster... but if u go regularly... test both options, even the option that lemon suggested and then take your own call.

  Hi,there is no other service plying ECP other than 401.Perhaps you can take 75 to Holland Road and transfer to Service 48.That will be the nearest.

  my colleague told me the new electric luxury car takes only abt 2-3hr to be fully charged and can travel up to 300km! and its extremely silent till u wont know if u have started the engine already or not. How abt electric buses? i think besides time for charging and the mileage; the issue now is the high cost. any potential for electric bus development in the next 10 years?

  Some western countries are operating electric buses. Like in Luzern you have electric buses but have overline cable powering it. Still needs to be higher sophistication to introduce electric buses in SG.

  More of addition to WLDEP/AMDEP... KJDEP can still control BPJ and CCK services, with BUDEP controlling BBT and Boon Lay.

  Should Clementi west st 2 not have a direct service to Clementi MRT via Commonwealth Ave... why does it loop around ave 2 before going to MRT? Clementi west st 2 residents rather walk down to West Coast road to take 78/285 to Clementi or 201 to Clementi.

  The origins of this route is traced back to the 1980s...back then the route of feeder 282 is broken up into two services, one which plied Clementi Aves 4, 5 and 2 then go back to Clementi Interchange, while the other link Clementi West St 2 directly to Clementi MRT. Subsequently both services were integrated and formed the current feeder 282.
