  Since the opening of the NEL, more people are going to sentosa via HarbourFront. I noticed that services 188 and 963 are picking up more and more passengers to and from HarbourFront interchange.

  Not only that. I waited at Farrer Road on Sat evening for svc 855, hoping to see an rather empty bus. But both Lance 245s that came were fully seated, with almost 10 to 15 passengers standing.

  Sv. 93 2-axle VOs still don't seem packed to me. What I define packed is the loads on Sv. 88 3-axle VOs during peak hours.

  Service 93 load is not that high. Can see for yourself at HarbourFront interchange, of the 3 services (93, 188 & 963) that go towards Pasir Panjang, more passengers are queueing up for services 188 & 963 than 93.

  Beside the interchange, even the bus stops outside and opposite the food centre were packed with people last Saturday when I was there.

  I didn't see any O405Gs on Sv. 855 before, maybe I may just have missed it.

  probably also due to sentosa discontinuing its tiong bahru shuttle, orchard road shuttle n the mayb a little on the ferry too.

  Perhaps they can take some habit buses from 980 to bus 855 and some of the lance 245 can transfer to one of the yishun feeder services that are operating the mercedes hispano bendy bus which will go over to 980 .

  Sv. 167 couldn't support O405Gs due to pax loads and its terminus at Sembawang Rd End. As For Sv. 171 and Sv. 855 I really wonder why. Did Sv. 171 have double-decks when it was still with SBS?

  I'm not sure, but i'm very sure TIB 838 H started operation on svc 171.

  As far as I know, service 171 is a single-deck-only service while with SBST.
