can go Nicoll Highway meh?
But since today is the first rehearsel, and Tom, Raffles Link will be closed, there should be signboards at Raffles Link and i think SBST will noticed it. Think for the next few rehearsels/parades, the SBST buses, wont go into Marina area.
btw, SMRT is smarter, all its buses does not go into Marina Area, during the parade period. -
a lot of BCs took wrong turn & end up in Kallang

For the next upcoming diversions, buses will have to turn right from Raffles Ave into Temasek Ave, go round the fountain and use Temasek Blvd and Rochor Rd to get out of Marina Centre. As for service 36 and Express 518, they may skip the entire Marina Centre and Suntec City area by going straight to ECP from Ophir Rd. -
The bus I took (SBS 9103 D, service 97) did not go into Marina Centre because the BC terminated service along Beach Rd opp Shaw Twrs.Originally posted by lemon1974:Dun think so.

We refer to your email received on 27 June 2005.
LTA has only informed us on the road conversion today. We will be making adjustments to the route changes. The public will be kept notified on the changes once we finalise everything.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
