Hahahaha.. SMRT never fails to catch people by surprise.. The route combines a bit of svc 970, svc 190(mostly) and svc 700, Well i hope with 971E it will reduce the nightmare of svc 190, coz in the morning from Bt Panjang, it is impossible not to see overloaded svc 190 bendy buses. SMRT Should consider to run at evening peak as well.
The real question is where will SMRT take these 2 buses from, SP from Kranji or chop 190 by two buses during morning peak ?..
Hope SMRT will consider alleviating the situation on svc 75, 171, 960 too..
-
Reap some customers away from Transcity 722 and SBST 555.
-
Hmm should see the loads first,If justified then evening peak should run as well just like 531 & 963E.971 should be out if 971E is a huge success..Should start from Sembawang though ie 167E..

2 buses can help fetch how many pax? 200? There are 3 SP UDs in KJDEP......if they chop 2 buses from Sv190, it is still the same mah.. left hand throw right hand.. and SMRT just earn more only....

This should be just a temporary service. Once downtown line is completed, confirm gets withdrawn.Originally posted by phillipC:Dont know which are the unlucky services numbers kena pull out to run these two "higher fare" trips for 971E.
Either 190, 700 or 970.

SBW? Should make it go to NBR then. That side has only 851 going to the north region.

Most likely is chop 2 buses from 190.
Downroute service from Bukit Panjang Blk 601 taken away. Force you up on 971E. -
Most probably WLDEP will control..
-
A4 side notice up at the respective bus stops for 971E on Monday.

Haha, that explains why 95 and 181 get DD appearances whereas 185 has converted from 2 WSD slots to 2 WDD slots.
-
So Sv 95 gets its ADD for good.
Finally Sv 34 gets improvement
-
The biggest improvement is e MRT & LRT trips

190 also improving trips next month. 971E is likely possible because of addition of the 10 Citaro's.
