Reasons:
1. Connect Woodlands/Woodgrove residents to
- Future Woodlands North & South MRT Stations
- Schools (Christ Church Sec, Evergreen Pri, Evergreen Sec, Innova Pri, S'pore Sports Sch)
- 888 Plaza & Vista Point
- Future Woodlands Health Campus
2. Relieve 911 & 913's loading at their respective East looping points
While Sv 900A can remain as it is..

Anyone knows or can predict what will happen to the Jurong Services?
I feel that ultimately 258 will be affected, especially if by then the demand for downtrip (after looping around Jurong Point) to Pioneer or Joo Koon MRT is low. If the demand is still low, is it possible for 258 to take Boon Lay Way after Jurong West St 64 (turn right instead of left, like 251) and go to Pioneer Rd North straightway?
As for NTU, I don't think there will be much route rationalisation but they will probably reduce the number of buses. I feel that NTU routes (179 & 199) may have the chance to use electric / hybrid buses.

Reasons:
- Enhances connectivity between Senoko Industrial Estate & WDL Ave 9 residents and Woodlands North MRT Station
- Reduces duplicating sectors with Sv 856 along Canberra Road (Blk 351 CP) to Senoko Drive (Masterdon) & vice versa (Bef Senoko Cres to Blk 502A), with the exception of Opp Sunshine Bakery/Sunshine Bakery
- Serves as an alternative option for
>> Residents living along Sembawang Drive (Opp Sun Plaza to Opp Blk 484A CP & Blk 483 to Sun Plaza) (currently have only Sv 962 as the fastest option)
>> Dormintory workers living along Admiralty Road West, especially during their off-days (currently have Sv 169 & 856, most of them will take from Marsiling/Sembawang & Yishun MRT Station respectively)
>> Residents/Workers who wants to take the RTS to cross border (currently have Sv AC7)
Opinions:
- Sv 981 should convert to a full day/daily service with these amendments
- The amendment may slightly change Sv 856 loading as well since residents along Canberra Road have only one service to rely on in order to travel to the industrial estate during weekday/saturday peak hours..

I propose all TF is to be under LTA directly for MRT/LRT breakdowns or repairs.
Bus park will be at MRT depot:Tuas / Ulu Pandan / Bishan / East Coast / Mandai / Gali Batu.
Before that must wait for the basic service to transfer to new depot first.

503 & 504 looks good, something similar to what I had proposed before. I know this might be a bit far fetched but why not combine 503 & 504 into a single bidirectional loop service (503A/B). 503A will cater to Punggol East and Rivervale residents via KPE and on its return route, utilize CTE and return to Punggol via Sengkang West and Sumang estate (Your 504 route). 503B will bascially be vice versa. But potential implications would include longer runtime for both directions but I believe would save resources for having 4 distinct services serving the same catchement areas albeit plying different roads...

Unnecessary.
We already have 106 that goes from Bukit Batok to Shenton way.
Unneccessary to have every bus service plying along the district, even you want 197 to go to Kembangan and Still Road South, and some services requires you to only take a taxi.
