  Hmm...WLDEP or AMDEP?
  
  Now, people living at Yishun Ring Road can take 860 transfer at Khatib MRT..
  804 and 806 will be less crowded..

  Disappointed with distribution of svc in north-east. 

  First of all, Punggol - Bishan svc can be done already by extending 136. That svc can have its load enhanced at the same time.

  Another thing is that no new svc is introduced to Sengkang int, which is disappointing, considering it has a lot of berths to spare. I would love it of a svc to the north-west/ south-east (Tanah Merah area) can be introduced to Sengkang Int. And hope that the new svc can have full fleet WAB. 

  For the Hougang - Serangoon route, I really dunno where can it ply in Hougang.

  sengkang int got lots of berths to spare but at the same time does it have lots of parking lots to spare?

  There's only 16 parking lots for 8 services in Sengkang Int. 83 and 965 loop svc. After 119 extend, only 1 sv can be introduce. Unless loop svc..

  • Fullerton Square (03011)
  • Opposite AIA Tower (03031)

  On 21 and 22 September, the six Nite Owl services will continue to operate as usual. However, their trips will start from the bus stop in front of St. Andrew's Cathedral (04167) along North Bridge Road instead of from the Marina Centre Terminal. As a result, these services will bypass three bus stops along Raffles Avenue:

  Please refer to the poster for more information.

  
  

  Service 97e
  During the weekday morning peak hours, Service 97e will terminate at the Marina Bay Financial Centre bus stop (03391) along Marina Boulevard instead of at the Pan Pacific Hotel (02089).
