Yes, Sv. 147 is the only service left duplicating NEL, just in case of any problems with the line they can divert pax to Sv. 147 as well.Originally posted by xin1jun2:i will perosnally bomb SBS HQ if they dare touch 147 (laughers)
at any rate 147 should have been shortenened to end at new bridge road.
my theory is that SBS needs a backbone service and they made a good choice with 147.
105 and 2 are other "backbone services"

SBST can actually withdrawn service 147 if it wants to. Why? Because the service duplicates so many services as follow:Originally posted by xin1jun2:i will perosnally bomb SBS HQ if they dare touch 147 (laughers)

Many passengers would think that way, however, apparently some of the relevant authorities think that is it a waste of resources and a factor what is snatching "business" from the NEL.Originally posted by SBS9816E:Don't look things at just one side of something! Sv 147 is a popular svc for many residents staying in Serangoon and Hougang Central! It's also a great link to Bt Merah, Chinatown, etc. Like what SBS 9818A said, it can be a backbone svc that could support the NEL if it's faulty. It ain't bad that one svc duplicates MRT line.
But at least they reached a compromise and left one service intact.Originally posted by off_service:Many passengers would think that way, however, apparently some of the relevant authorities think that is it a waste of resources and a factor what is snatching "business" from the NEL.
