Originally posted by iveco:Kill 147 and all the NEL residents will go up at arms. Sv 147 is one of the only three services along NEL corridor that bring them to town (Sv 107, 133, 147). You should see how packed those VO 3Xs are on weekends @ Bendemeer Rd, those Sv 147 VOs can come rushing past at maybe 6-7min freq at nearly full capacity. Same with Sv 133.
147 not really needed. Clementi to Hill St can be covered by 12(PSR-[b]CLE).
107 & 97 can be integrated to form 107(HGN-JUR).
502 can be extended to Shenton Way Ter during Working days, converted to Trunk and renumbered.
153 & 274 can be integrated.[/b]
If 133 were to merge with 195 and extend to Clementi... nice!Originally posted by leeJZ:Kill 147 and all the NEL residents will go up at arms.

And anyway, the main demand of Sv 147 route is from Hougang to Chinatown, not Chinatown to Clementi.
I totally agree with you on that.Originally posted by leeJZ:81: Send it back into the city....!
SBST also did not reply my mail. I wrote about Hougang south feeders to be converted to Townlinks.Originally posted by iveco:I totally agree with you on that.
Also, 111 could be reinstated and cover 119, although I think integrating 111 & 23 isn't a bad idea. I did email SBS regarding that, but received no reply.

That is NOT my suggestion.It's my friend's, wdl_962.I would be the craziest person if I actually want lesser service in my neighbourhood.Originally posted by SBS9818A:So you want Sv. 175 to cover Sv. 177 route huh?
LOL. I won't mind withdrawal of Sv. 985, really.Originally posted by cck_190:That is NOT my suggestion.It's my friend's, wdl_962.I would be the craziest person if I actually want lesser service in my neighbourhood.![]()
OK, about 985:Originally posted by SBS9818A:LOL. I won't mind withdrawal of Sv. 985, really.
Reinstate Sv. 185 then, withdraw the PIE sector.Originally posted by cck_190:OK, about 985:
Most of you sees 985 as an unprofitable service, but it is actually a profitable service.After starting to school in BB, I found out that 985 has a high capacity for a 12m bus during school dismissal hours.
btw, what does lol really stands for.
Sv 985 only profitable in Bukit Batok / Choa Chu Kang, PIE & Jln TPY & Bendemeer, very empty bus.Originally posted by cck_190:OK, about 985:

Who can be bothered to take 985 after the PIE sector towards Geylang? Useless sector... btw, I prefer 985 to go into CTE aft Jln Toa Payoh and terminate in AMK...Originally posted by leeJZ:Sv 985 only profitable in Bukit Batok / Choa Chu Kang, PIE & Jln TPY & Bendemeer, very empty bus.
LOL = Laughing Out Loud.
No Slip Rd from PIE (Changi Airport) to CTE (Ang Mo Kio)Originally posted by freakybuses:Who can be bothered to take 985 after the PIE sector towards Geylang? Useless sector... btw, I prefer 985 to go into CTE aft Jln Toa Payoh and terminate in AMK...Sure faster than 852.
The only vice versa slip roads that Whampoa flyover doesnt have is PIE (East) --> CTE (South) and vice versa.Originally posted by leeJZ:No Slip Rd from PIE (Changi Airport) to CTE (Ang Mo Kio)
Maybe exit into Toa Payoh Town and enter via Braddell Rd?![]()
Service 189A no longer exists.Originally posted by carbikebus:Sv 11>Withdrawn or amended to other route.
Sv 927>Reroute or withdrawn.
Sv 189A>Withdrawn & Integrated with 189 for the Ferry Terminal sector.
Sv 35>Should start from Eunos
Oops...I got confusedOriginally posted by service_238:The only vice versa slip roads that Whampoa flyover doesnt have is PIE (East) --> CTE (South) and vice versa.
Thats exactly the express 518 route right now, dont need for any amendments.Originally posted by leeJZ:Sv 506 - Withdrawn...non express sector useless...express sector covered by 966 / 985
Sv 518 - Ammend to ply Pasir Ris Int - Pasir Ris Ctrl - Sv 15 route to Tampines Ave 5 - PIE/CTE - Moulmein Rd...all the way to Marina Centre then loop back...that you can call express.
Sv 502...If SBST dun want to withdraw / integrate with 97, can do this...Boon Lay Int - Boon Lay Way (Express except outside JRE Int) - C'wealth Ave West (Express except for Clementi MRT) - Clementi Ave 2 - Ulu Pandan Rd (All Express) - Holland Rd (Express except for Holland V) then continue normal route and loop back.
Nope...currently Sv 518 winds inside Pasir Ris / Tampines...Originally posted by SBS9845X:Thats exactly the express 518 route right now, dont need for any amendments.
