147 was almost chopped during the NEL rationalisation until MPs intervened.

Another route is 133... lucky siaz or I won't be able to go Suntec...Originally posted by foxtrot1985:147 was almost chopped during the NEL rationalisation until MPs intervened. -
Svc 73, 80, 100 and 155 were nearly affected

Sv. 80 might be gone in the future, thanks to CCL.Originally posted by Zilchster:Svc 73, 80, 100 and 155 were nearly affected -
2 and 198 barely survived the axe.
62, 82 and 107 may have got the axe. 147 may have survived but with major changes.
70 and 80 may get the axe when the CL is up. 62 could be extended down to Shenton Way via Nicoll Highway. -
Good thing Sv 2 survived. Or else Changi residents would have to go bumping on Sv 29's uncomfortable Scania OACs to Tampines coupled with lousy frequency and a longer ride to the city. Sv 9/19/89 are a bit too far (Loyang Ave) for Changi residents to reach.Originally posted by iveco:2 and 198 barely survived the axe.

Plus Sv 2 makes quite a lot of $$$ from ferrying the workers at Changi North Ind Estate and the workers widening Upp Changi Rd North to Tanah Merah MRT.
Good thing Sv 147 & 107 survived too - us BCP holders would have to use the NEL to get up and down the Northeast corridor if without them. -
Bukit Timah svcs may also get the chop once the CCL is ready...

BTL you mean?Originally posted by freakybuses:Bukit Timah svcs may also get the chop once the CCL is ready...
66 sure to withdraw when BTL opens as SBST170 acts as the backbone of the line.
66: BDK - BDK Reservoir (228 )
66: BDK Reservoir - Serangoon Rd/Jln Basar (65)
66: Little India - King Albert Pk (BTL)
66: Bt Timah Rd/Dunearn Rd - Bt Batok Rd (157)
The only stretch that doesnt have exact duplication is between Bt Batok Rd & JUR. 176 can be the alternative for that between BBT and JUR. -
If thats the case Sv 67 may have to be withdrawn also...Originally posted by service_238:BTL you mean?

Frankly speaking I was thinking of thatOriginally posted by freakybuses:Tampines to Rochor Canal Rd route.... then svc 67 must well return to SBST!!!

I was thinking of that...I think 67 shouldn't even be given to tibs in the first place! 67 covers more SBST area...And if you follow the SBST numbering system, 6X belongs to the east, not northwestOriginally posted by freakybuses:Tampines to Rochor Canal Rd route.... then svc 67 must well return to SBST!!! -
