Pray enlighten but how is 116 a "loser service"?
Evening peak only 5-6 ppl board 116 at NEX. Have you seen how poor the loading is? Do you say people still don't know the route?

SBS area again. 116, 119 and 50 this year.
SMRT - 860 with around 8 buses
-
LTA making SBST difficult

I have seen afternoon near HG swimming complex with near full-house towards HG Int.
-
The loading for 116 is quite unpredictable
-
Looks like the express from Tampines to CBD has to be delayed to next year
-
this service may deserve a few split shift double deckers
-
Too early to predict..

How is the
frequency of this service? Good to know another route service
serving sengkang west. From Bishan Int: 10-13/15 mins
From Punggol Int: 10-19 minsFinally this service is out!
Will try to take it on 16 Dec... Near my home

Though actually would prefer it to be a different service number other than 50+ in bishan...

Very well observed. 116 loading is only in svc 72 sector. It just takes off the load from svc 72 when it goes before 72 at YCK rd / HG Ave 9 junction. If svc 72 goes before it, you will see an empty 116 all the way to the interchange.This also means that svc 72 gets under-utilized when 116 goes before it. For me, it would be a good service if it had at least seated loading on SG North Ave 4. Wasn't that the purpose of the service anyway?

I agree. Looking at the route, I think it will have 4 DDs in its fleet. -
Bishan Int from 5 bus services in 2004: 53,54,55,56 and 410
Now became 10 bus services: 50,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59 and 410
-
116 should ply more distance....
shld consider extending the bus to bishan or tpy.
-
Route 50 reborn? Anyway, it seems like there is no chance of Route 82 being extended anytime soon.
-

-

same bro

2 more weeks...
-
Really? Hope to ride on it soon. Anyway, hope the journey time will not be too long as I have even tried to ride on a B9TL Wrights from Bedok to BL (Service 30) and the journey took almost two hours!
-
86, 372 and 163 will have terrible time when svc 50 starts... :'(
Luckily this svc is BSEP so SBST can neither withdraw the svc nor downgrade the fleet.

Down memory lane.Service 50: Kaki Bukit Malay Settlement – Jln Bukit Merah (Near Henderson Rd)
Jln Perwira, Jln Damai, Jln Abadi, Jln Eunos, Changi Rd, Geylang Rd, Kallang Rd, Crawford St, Beach Rd, Bras Basah Rd, Nicoll Highway, Connaught Dr, Fullerton Rd, Collyer Quay, Raffles Quay, Shenton Way, Keppel Rd, Spottiswoode Park Rd, Cantonment Rd, Outram Rd, Tiong Bahru Rd, Redhill Cl, Redhill Rd, Lengkok Bahru, Hoy Fatt Rd and Jln Bt Merah.
Jln Bt Merah, Hoy Fatt Rd, Lengkok Bahru, Redhill Rd, Redhill Cl, Tiong Bahru Rd, Outram Rd, Cantonment Rd, Keppel Rd, Anson Rd, Robinson Rd, Collyer Quay, Fullerton Rd, Empress Pl, St Andrew’s Rd, Beach Rd, Crawford St, North Bridge Rd, Jln Sultan, Victoria St, Kallang Rd, Sims Ave, Jln Eunos, Jln Abadi, Jln Damai and Jln Perwira.
Still remembered the last major fleet for service 50 (Eunos to Bukit Merah) was the Mercedes Benz OF1413 Soon Chows.
Now the new 50 is going to be operated by Mercedes Benz buses again with the new Citaros.

It's time the Northeast corridor to have one service to the city. Perhaps to Orchard Rd and loop at Tanglin Rd area? -
