  All, think that there is new bus service PW1 from Punggol way to international business park (jurong east). This is by share transport and will start October 2016. The posters are out at the Punggol bus stops it will ply. Start Punggol east-drive-road-central-expressway to jurong east. Cheers. Thanks.

  Stupid route again, just like sv 150. Could have diverted sv 117 which has kosong loading.

  Almost duplicates 117 exactly, aside from the Canberra sector and Yishun Community Hospital bus stop (which has 858).

  Another white elephant.

  My hunch for 883 is as usual, full shitaro fleet from AMDEP.

  883 has the potential to extend to Yishun Street 51/41/52 and Yishun Ring Rd though.

  I'm not being racist here but most Malay pax prefer SMRT Bus over SBST if there is alternative.

  I believe the main highlight of 883 is to connect canberra residents to sembawang MRT & yishun amenities. Thats all. And thats why the route is so straight forward

  Hi mr sbs6750E, just as expected. They will not route service 117 to Canberra because 117 is a trunk to connect sembawang, yishun and punggol. Cheers. Thanks.

  I knew this would happen. Although it seems that 117 can be amended, I had a feeling that this would happen

  Seems that 883 is like 42

  Thats why you see 169 & 965 packed to the brim unlike 117 which is like half full only...

  Hi mr azharjj, yes it serves like a feeder for Canberra for fast connection to sembawang and yishun. Purpose is different from service 117. Cheers. Thanks.

  Hi mr smb1368T, good that they did not touch 117 this time round. Hope they also don't touch it in future because they have already amended 117 to serve a larger lor up of seletar aerospace park like 103. Cheers. Thanks.

  883 will have high loading in 2017 Q3 onwards, till then buses will mostly run empty. 883 was definitely needed but I'd prefer they first would use 117 and when occupancy increases, introduce 883.

  All, anybody knows if service 883 is the only service to be introduced in October 2016? Cheers. Thanks.

  I think Sengkang will have trunk?

  Sims Place will have a new short trunk?

  Tampines will have new feeder?

  Seems about right, heard about that service 500 too

   

  Based on prediction,

  Service 137 would be launched in Nov/Dec

  Service 500 might be launched in Dec if there are no delays. Major services are often introduced in the final month of each quarter.
