  Probably to reserve it for one (final / planned / upcoming) feeder service from Sengkang main Int.

  I never understand how they decide on the numbers. For instance, Punggol first feeder number is 386... Pasir Ris feeder number 354... Looks like planner didnt like 351, 352 or 353.

  Historical reasons. Pasir Ris townlinks 358, 359 formed from the old feeders 351/355 and 352/353.

  I was gg to suggest the route... This service can also be an alternative bus for Svc 163 which needs to wait for a long time... I waited for SVc 163 for 20 mins before..

  Hi mr hgdep103, yes I know. Purposely make 163 journey time long so that the waiting time is no good. Furthermore, huge sector of Sengkang east ave only has 163/163M. Why? Don't want duplicate LRT.

  Even Sengkang west ave used to have only 163 until 50 comes along the way. Why? Don't want duplicate LRT again. Cheers. Thanks.

  The 38x series are in use for Eunos feeders until they merged with trunk services in 2002...it's been more than 10 years for the planners to recall.

  Bedok needs what service when almost all Bedok service ply everywhere to the east , West , North , south , downtown , neighbouring roads all are well served . So this new number gonna do what ? Express service like 506/518? ?

  sekali the Bedok service go terminate at Bukit Batok. In fact the north west side only has 67 which is super winding

  Just to fill up number?Maybe Svc 1 since 9 is the only single digit svc left for Bedok package?

  My guess Serangoon-Eunos will be 137.

  Loyang maybe feeder and that svc 68?

  Tampines might be from Changi Biz Park?44?

  Hougang-Sengkang might be that express and one more feeder?

  Seletar might be using 71?164?861?

  Jurong West might be from Tuas?250/259?

  I think 144,146,148 & 149 might be for Bidadari?

  I hope after the Eunos industrial park completely demolished,There will be BTOs along Eunos and Eunos can have a new feeder svc..

  The issue of 226 is not so much relevant in the present context when we are talking about only Eunos feeders...

  Hi mr vampier77, why the fixation with eunos? Cheers. Thanks.

  what I am saying is that 226 went from Bedok to Bedok Reservoir while 385 went from Eunos to Bedok Reservoir...

  He aint satisfied with the bus services in his area

  Hi mr smb1368T, yes everybody can be dissatisfied with the bus services in his house area. However he also must give proper connections regarding what is required and proposed so that we can note the roads which are required to be given a boost. His messages are often unclear and not conclusive. Looks like pasting same type of messages in almost every other thread. Cheers. Thanks.

  Loading should be okay between Anchorvale Crescent and Sengkang MRT, poor between Thangham looping point. Don't see the point of looping 374 there when there is almost no development yet that is ready. 

  I guess it is a route keeping the 2020+ in mind.

  U could be right, according to ura master plan there would be a number of schs coming up near thanggam lrt, which would need better direct access.
