  Considering Sv. 175 also serves Teck Whye area and parts of the private estates off Upp Bukit Timah Rd.

  I believe that those going to the above-mentioned places come mainly from CCK, rather than Tengah AB or LCK area. They can take alternative service 67.

  But they'd rather take Sv. 175, don't forget Sv. 67 doesn't go into Teck Whye.

  Tibs can always amend the route.

  I guess they rather not, they run the risk of offending CCK / Teck Whye residents.

  But Tibs have already offended a lot of passengers, doing things such as removal of service 989, shortening of service 700 and withdrawn of service 5.

  I totally agree with you. I think TIBS just do not like CCK and also not appreachiate the services handed over by SBS to them.

  I think TIBS were unhappy they were given CCK / BB for some reason.

  TIBS were ordered to give up the 2 areas when SBS Transit won the bidding of the NEL.

  Perhaps they were not happy because they got second hand Int from SBST.

  Ah yes, to them PG/SK was a cash cow, and they were forced to give it back to SBST.

  I don't think Yew Tee can be an independent town itself, it's too small. Only the Yew Tee GRC is big.

  TIBS were ORDERED to give up, not asked whether they want or not. That's 1 of the reasons I can think why TIBS hate CCK/BB

  Are u sure PG/SK was a cashcow, back then, only little of it was developed. My guess is that TIBS wanted the feeling of developing their own routes from scratch.
