  So you don't really understand what service_238 is saying?
  
  He means that SWT 98B was re-routed to start from Jurong West Ave 1 instead of Lakeside MRT Station. Everyone knows except you.

  HPB introduces bus for promoting healthy lifestyles ChannelNewsasia.com - 5 January 2013 6:16 PM | Updated 7:43 PM SINGAPORE: Singapore's Health Promotion Board (HPB) has introduced a new promotional bus called Health on Wheels, catering specifically to children and their parents. Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, who is also Member of Parliament (MP) for Jurong Group Representation Constituency (GRC), launched the bus at the constituency's Family Wellness Day. He described it as a good idea to reach out to the people. The bus will give children and parents healthy lifestyle tips through interactive and engaging activities. HPB said the aim is to reach out to 50,000 people this year. By 2015, there will be four buses to reach to all pre-schools, primary schools and community clubs. Saturday's event at Taman Jurong Community Club also saw the launch of a multi-generational health promotion programme themed "Staying Healthy Together as a Family". The constituency said it is a timely initiative, especially when eight in 10 households comprise a family nucleus of at least two generations

  Article in newspaper stating how LTA and SBST did a great job with ferrying students to ITE on Monday. Pictures show a separate queue for 72B that is fully packed - loading worth a DD. 

  Also, the introduction of s50, s159B was appreciated. ITE on the other hand has slotted its class start timings to 8am, 8.30am, 9am and 10am to make sure they manage the crowd well.

  I personally saw s50 completely packed at Jubilee. I am sure it must have got empty at ITE.
