it looks like 513 is the only service that still can enjoy the views but only in the morning & evening peak hrs

518 also can
And it will be my commuting route later on :D
Any press release soon? Also, is MCE underground?
36,48 also can catch the partial views...
From the map at Wikipedia, it seems like Telok Ayer flyover is getting demolished? Because MCE merges straight into AYE on that map.

Edit: Yes it may be, unless it is used to connect to Sheares Ave (which is unlikely).

Yes, of course. It's "under the sea" road
Is the underground section of MCE DD-friendly???

It is obvious that MCE is DD-friendly.

I understand what you mean...My previous post is actually a summary and the definite answer to that SBS3050L's post.
If MCE isn't DD-friendly, how can SBS Transit amend services 30 and 513 to ply MCE knowing that the demand for the route warrants DDs in their fleets?
Other services plying the Marina Bay Sands may be slightly affected though...not sure what it is referring to.

Haha okay
Misunderstanding that is ^-^
Just hope no major disaster happen at MCE
MCE got buses going past there, KPE other than the Tampines Road section, It is open for a couple of years no buses utilize the tunnel area of KPE from what i know off other than maybe off svc buses. Is KPE DD friendly?

That's what I've been thinking for nights.
Why KPE no buses in tunnel when MCP alr have buses? Why not have some buses to the west, utilising KPE and MCP?
And yes, the tunnel is DD-friendly.
Sooner you will see SMRT also utilising DDs just like HK

They need to use the KPE tunnels for a service.
