  * Majority DD fleet.

  Ok - reposted in route suggestions with an alternative along Sengkang East/West Ave.

  Agree 36 can be extended if you have sv 500 as an alternative.

  Guys, I have a feeling that this express 500 rumour is just a hoax. Sorry, but I doubt it would happen. (Remember the CG-BR joke?)

  I might think Sengkang via YCK RD/CTE/Orchard/Shenton Way/Harbourfront/Bt Merah or at most to Jurong East.

  Long routes are not popular with LTA nowadays … so if it goes to the CBD, it would end at furthest Bt Merah or Buona Vista (there's already 502 serving further west). Any further and it would be too long and have punctuality/bunching issues.

  So I believe that if it's really a Sengkang - Boon Lay express, it would not stop in the CBD.

  Hi mr AJQZC, yes I agree. If sengkang-boon lay, it will pass by a few towns in northeast then go express and reach west side and pass by some towns in west before reach destinations. Unlikely to go to city then go west which will be too long. If total journey each direction is more than 1 hr 20 min, people will rather take MRT. Cheers. Thanks.
