  Can I say Sv. 119? Or any of the new HG feeders?

  84 is one of the worst planned routes by sbstransit,it could maybe extend to other town.also are 502 ,82 after the rerouting due to the new northeast line.

  The extended Sv. 107 and shortening of Sv. 82, most definitely.

  SBST 3: Too much winding roads in Pasir Ris
  
  TIBS 960: Would be much better if it plies BKE to Bt Panjang, but no choice, no links from Bt Panjang to Woodlands Road.
  
  TIBS 178: Very long journey to Jurong East / Boon Lay.

  i ahoppen to service 3 IC:
  
  now look here. Service 3 has good links for the Punggol residents after its extension to punggol. my fren now cna go Pasir ris MRT.
  
  Now look here service 3 used to be 357 which used to be two feeder buses. so of coz its a windy route. Service 3 is supposed to be a "feeder in tampines and pasir ris"

  81's current route. I often take 81 from little india , now because of the NEL, make everyone's life more difficult.

  I don't understand Sv 14...go to Tanah Merah Station from Bedok to get to Clementi???
  
  I dont like Sv 21's route much, too much looping around...
  
  Sv 29 also, loops around in Tampines, then in the Changi area...
  
  Sv 28's route is OK except for the wasteful circle from Tampines St 32>St 45>Ave 9>St 41...might as well send Sv 8 that way as Sv 8 has a much shorter route from Toa Payoh...
  
  Sv 3 is not very good also, loop around in Tampines, then Pasir Ris, then Punggol...

  What? 61 as worst route?
  
  If you are saying that it is the worst route in TIBS because it is the longest route, you should have blamed the people at SBS Transh*t for planning the route.
  
  The old 84 had a great route from Hougang to World Trade Center

  All these 3 services have their current winding routes due to historical reasons.

  Same sentiments exactly. Especially 502.

  SBST doesn't keep its word on service 84. How temporary is temporary?

  If I'm not wrong isn't Sv. 61 an integration of two or more routes?

  I guess the purpose is to serve the passengers along Bedok Rd and Upp East Coast to the nearest MRT station.

  That is correct, to serve passengers along Bedok North Rd too I think.

  Maybe,
  
  but if you look at the better end, if you transfer to NEL, you need not walk further to Little India. Wheras if you take 81, you may have to walk 500m.

  Honestly I'd rather walk rather than pay more and make a transfer.

  And also, if I'm not wrong, because of the old Service 14's route which used to ply from Somapah Terminal. Remember, Service 14 was amended from Somapah to Changi Village and lastly to Bedok.

  Yes, I know about its former route. Did service 12 plied Bedok Rd (between New Upp Changi Rd and Upp East Coast Rd) back then?
