If the express bus doesn't go to city, it would be pretty useless.
Most likely Sengkang - Hougang - Kovan - Paya Lebar - KPE - ECP - City - AYE - Bukit Merah. Boon Lay would be too far.

speaking of CDS
is this related?
excerpt from the article
"Two new City Direct bus services, under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme, will also be introduced from the fourth quarter of 2016 to serve those living in Buangkok, Sengkang and Hougang, the authority said."
hmm

Hi mr azharjj, service 500 is definitely not CDS. CDS is service from one town to city. AM peak and PM peak on weekdays. 500 is a regular service with certain sectors express just like 518. Service 500 is not confined to city only. Let's be clear and don't confuse the rest. Cheers. Thanks.

Hi mr sbs6750E, service 500 is not express. Should be termed as semi-express with certain sectors. Something like 518. It is a daily service. Not CDS which is AM peak and PM peak weekdays service. Cheers. Thanks.
Anyway, 500 might be a combination of the rumoured 164 and 149 that i have mentioned before

Hi mr hgdep103, all for sengkang interchange expansion? If true, it will be good. Means Punggol bus interchange expansion will also have 4-5 new routes next yr Jul to sep 2017. Cheers. Thanks.

I doubt that Punggol expansion will even have berths.
For Hougang expansion, can buses be allowed to park there when the berths are still under construction?
There are currently 38 lots, not 48.

Hi mr sbs3004X, it seems you are not up to date with the news or you are just trying to be funny. Press releases have already indicated new berths, new toilets and additional 13 parking lots will be built. Passengers have a wider area to board buses and there will be 4-5 new bus services to cater for the growing demand of the new town and mall. Cheers. Thanks.

I would like to see the following for Sengkang.
373: Sengkang <> Anchorvale/Compassvale Crescent (feeder) - route proposed
164: Sengkang <> AMK (trunk) - route proposed
507: Sengkang <> Changi Airport (express) bypassing Tampines
108: Hougang Central <> Tampines Interchange (trunk) duplicating 27. 27 in turn will be Tampines Interchange <> Changi Airport (short trunk)
501: Sengkang <> Tomlinson Road (loop) (express) - route proposed as 500.

We have to wait and see. They plan many times but it doesn't come out true. Heard many other ones also like the CG-BR service and 155 split. But none of them have materialized yet.

Then, where will the berths be? At the side where the power generator (or some weird machine) is now?
883 will be at berth 3.
Might be full of green mans since spotting a whole load of them at sbw int

Hi mr sbs3004X, don't worry. When they say will have, it will surely have. I am not the guy in charge of project so I don't know. But you will know by Q3 2017. There will also be new toilets as you should have known by now that there is no toilet at MRT side. The only toilets are currently at the back of the bus interchanges. Cheers. Thanks.

Still 22 days for 883 operation to begin. Those MANs maybe for other services like 167/980 as of now. But I agree 883 will start with a fleet of 5 MANA22s.
