Temporary Bus Diversion - Closure of Padang Vicinity for NDP 2005
http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/whatsnew_07July2005.asp
some slight changes (again?) -
The carpark is gone.Originally posted by iveco:Heck, that means a longer route for Scotts Rd services. The affected stretch of Somerset Rd should have been reserved exclusively for public buses. Anyway, what about the car park entrance before the bus turning?
-
One North station is even nearer to Ayer Rajah.Originally posted by iveco:IMO, the NUH station should be called "Ayer Rajah" since it is so near AYE. "Kent Ridge" and "University" are too far away. In fact, these 2 names are closer to the locality of Clementi. Pasir Panjang station should be called "Bukit Chandu" in honour of Lt Adnan b Saidi and the sacrifice of the Malay Regiment.
Hmm, did the map show a West Coast station? The feedback form didn't show any such working name.
Bukit Chandu isn't a popular known name as compared to Pasir Panjang.
West Coast station is a future station and so the feedback form doesn't have the name. -
The change is that services 10, 14, 16, 70 and 196 towards Mountbatten Rd will use Jln Sultan, Kallang Rd and Sims Way instead of Java Rd.Originally posted by samtlk:Temporary Bus Diversion - Closure of Padang Vicinity for NDP 2005
