  163M = former feeder 371

  112 = merger of former feeders 322 and 327

  113 = merger of former feeders 321 and 326

  The real svs under these cate whereby using the old fare stage system

  3, 38, 60, 101, 112, 113, 163/ 163M, 181

  There's no way svs like 228 would become 66M, simply because of last bus (MRT) obligation and the first bus timing (As in is it possible to let 66 to start at 0520 Bedok Reservoir towards Bedok Int).

  96, 133M aren't feeder services to begin with. They dun ply any new town.

  285 is there because it's nearer from Clementi to get to Pandan Loop.

  240 is the old Jurong Int issue.

  334, 335 is a feeder service. 334 & 335's connection into Jurong West traces back to pre BNL Int routing issue (Sv 98 linked ppl at N2, N3, N4, N5 to Jurong Int).

  Somemore dun gibe ideas leh, become 'M' they tell u become trunk service no more 3.2km cap. LTA dun even know how to diff feeder and trunk services out one.

  112, 113, 115, 181 should be converted to Feeder bus service.

  I suggest 112 and 113 to be split back to the respective former Hougang feeder services.

  115 re numbered as 329.

  181 re numbered as 245, if there is no extension plans in future. Leave 181 for a future new service.

  probably something like 163 and 371?  but being a regular commuter of both services, i feel tat 228 and 66 better to remain this way.it reduces the waiting time for a service to Bedok/ Bedok reservoir, especially during peak hours, where there are many people taking to bedok/ Bedok Reservoir

  In the past there was also a feeder service 227 which dupliated service 17, in the end 227 was withdrawn.

  Feeder service 371 was amended in 2003 when Sengkang LRT East Loop opened, the amended route duplicated service 163 from Sengkang to Fernvale. When 371 was finally withdrawn when Sengkang LRT West Loop opened in Mar 2005. On the same day 163 was amended to ply along Fernvale Lane and a peak hour short trip service 163A was introduced (renumbered 163M).
