  Somehow 883 is relevant with MRT disruption from Yishun to Sembawang, a good introduction will see the track changeout from Yishun to Sembawang more relevant.

  When Canberra MRT opens in 2019, 883 will be shortened to loop at Canberra Estate as a feeder service.

  I doubt 883 will be shortened because by 2019, Canberra will be a fully operational housing estate but from amenities perspective quite poor.

  Yet there are no schools, malls, hospitals or polyclinics. For all such activities, residents would want to go to Yishun as preference over Sembawang, or at least want that option. It would not make sense for them to take feeder to Canberra and then MRT, when there is direct service.

  We need to note that most of the HDBs are tucked inside the estate and not near the upcoming MRT.

  882 started off with only 1 bus (TIB784D) when it was introduced in Nov 2005 with another crossover from somewhere. Weekend got another 0405 from 854 I think.

  TIB820H was added in when 882 was amended to serve Wellington Circle in mid 2009.

  Anything interesting observed for 883 today? More than 4 buses? Still full house?

• SMB1368T

  24 Oct 16, 17:33

  the original buses remain today. Since the excitement is over, only 1 pax boarded it with a bus enthusiast taking a timelapse. Aint surprising at all but not a good time to observe the loading since the new flats are still not open

• AntiDennisLance

  24 Oct 16, 17:40

  Well I suppose the construction workers will still continue to use the service on Sundays.
