  619Z has been bounced back to 167, not sure about the rest though. 35K is still there.

  For people to go casino and play games. HUAT ah! 

  I don't think those withdrawn Sentosa services were under private operator. It was under SBSL.

  I've taken SMRT bus in and out of Sentosa.

  To all sgf bus fan peeps.

  I have no choice but to come clean with my identity.

  I am an employee of SMRT Buses.

  SGF peeps like Oceane, TIB433S, SMB32T, Volvo Olympian, TIB744U, just to name a few, can vouch for my identity as they have contacts with me in one way or other.

  I want to reiterate once again that this is confirmed news, not fake stuff. 

  I don't spam sg forums with something untrue.

  As to why the press release is not mentioned in the website yet, I am not sure.  That is Corp Comms job and what they do is not within my jurisdiction.

  If you guys still think that my post is FAKE, feel free to drop by HarbourFront area to catch a glimpse of RWS8 buses this coming Saturday. 

  RWS8 starts from 6am to 11:30pm. 

  I guarantee that your trip to catch RWS8 buses in action will not be a wasted trip.
  

  Take care.

  Sincerely

  SMB134H

  Dear SMB92U

  This is confirmed news, not a route suggestion.

  Hope that clarifies

  Yo, by releasing Coy info into public domain before its officially released, you have further exposed yourself to unnecessary risk by saying you r an SMRT employee, you will be in a bit of trouble...

  $2 per bus ride to go into sentosa is not expensive and also get to ride free bus inside right?

  My sincere apologies.

  However I do agree with Acx1688 that by releasing commercially-sensitive information into the public domain prior to the official date, you may be putting your job on the line.

  No wonder I did not spot TIB619Z cameoing on other AMDEP services recently....

  Those 4 buses had gotton the new ad already.

  For SMB22Y, I spotted it on 961 last Monday.
