  Weekday: 30 mins

  Weekend: As and when bus is fully seated (meaning to say, buses become erratic). End up aft 4pm, there was still lots of empty buses arriving BNL, only to return back to PLC

  SBS BC gotta beware, ytd there was 1 MP standing on the road in a dangerous position to his own life.

  ARMS shuttle by SDC

  Took 182 to and fro PLC but suspect the shuttle went inside e camps to get to PLC.

  
  all buses entered thru Jurong Camp II, then went Jurong Camp, thru SAFTI cross the bridge over PIE to PLC.

  Suspect there are 2 routing

  1) Boon Lay Way, Jurong West Ctrl 2, Jurong West Ctrl 3, Jurong West St 64, Boon Lay Way, Upp Jurong Rd, Jurong West St 93, Jurong West St 91, Jurong Camp II, Jurong Camp I, SAFTI MI (Tengah Ave), Link bridge, PLC

  2) Boon Lay Way, Jln Boon Lay (Noticed it)

  Even the alighting point is haphazard, either os or opp BNL Int.

  no, PIE seperates them.

  SAFTI MI is a camp on its own, PLC as well.

  why not you go AOH and ask the soldiers there.

  Cos they need to wait till bus is filled (so tat SAF themselve pay lesser in number of trips made)... But it causes erratic bus arriving esp since the crowd arrival totally depends on Westbound MRT arrival

  Ytd at 1 pt, 6 parking along Boon Lay Way, blocking SBS buses from moving off to Boon Lay Way.
