  Hi mr carbikebus, since this new service originates from bukit batok int, i believe it must be smrt. Cheers.

  Should be operated by SMRT, and feel maynot enter interchange, but might just loop around it and call at Boon Lay Way stop (depends on what route is!)

  All, new services are launched. Punggol got sbs43M full day. Finally they recognize the need for this M service. Kent ridge got sbs 201 and smrt189 cut back slightly with sbs 201 to cover. Bukit batok got smrt 990. Bedok north got sbs 17A. Cheers.

   I am happy with the new changes

  Great move to loop 189 at Clementi Ave 1. First bold move seen by LTA. Welcome many such more.

  990 route is good. I was sure this one would loop at JE MRT and not enter interchange, also connect BBT East ave 6. The Toh Guan loop is a bit surprising considering there is already 52/105/183/333 to MRT... 

  43M - great decision... bi-directional loads were super heavy on this route. Can expect the newly registered DDs to be given to 43M

  17A - good for people living along Bedok North Ave 4... who don't have another service. Maybe 17A will get a WEG and Citaro from BSEP

  201 - not sure about this route... looks a little complicated the way it is designed. I understand the Kent Ridge - Clementi part.. but then it loops around Penjuru, Teban Gardens and also Pandan Gardens before heading back...

  Why should the bendies be cut? Rigids can be cut right... 189 still has heavy loading between Clementi and Bukit Batok...

  any scope for 201 to get DDs... considering West Coast - Clementi can have quite high loading? Also connects Clementi to Penjuru/Teban/Pandan? 

  But I think should start with Citaros like sv 20.. and if needed upgrade to DDs later.

  Hi mr busanalyser, sbs 201 is very good. Connects penjuru/teban/pandan/west coast to clementi mrt station. Two thumbs up! Last time when i was studying in RVHS 24 yrs ago, we have to walk out to AYE take sbs 154 to go clementi or take sbs 30, 51, smrt 176 and transfer to sbs 285 along west coast rd. 

  Now sbs 201 will divert some crowd to clementi mrt and not everybody to jurong east. Teban and pandan residents will reach clementi in 15 min via AYE and clementi ave 6. Cheers!!!!!

  Yeap, 990 does NOT enter Jurong East Temp Int, hopefully it will for the future Interchange..

  Actually 990 I see no demands beside those shoppers going IMM/Westgate. Hopefully there's shelter linking to JEI Temp from Opp Blk135 stop, and may the svc not be delayed by jams outside JEI Temp during peak hours. 

  Sad to say commuters(189) have to transfer to 201(after a 10mins wait..) if they are travelling to Kent Ridge...

  Hi mr TIB429E, jurong east int is very crowded. I support not entering bus int. Just outside is good enough. The malls make the whole area super crowded. Cheers.

  Should 178 runs to Yew Tee and creates a fast connection to 75/184/174 etc. ??  

  And is LTA gonna build a proper bus terminal for 170X/CW1?? Passengers are seen standing on road sometimes..

  Bro, inside & outside...both crowded...you have those workers' transport dropping them off before traffic.. Might as well let the bus turn in for passengers to have closer connectivity WHEN the new interchange opens..the bus can always enter JEI Temp straightaway to the berth to dropoff and pickup[97/197]..

  Can also transfer to 183 la... I think it is a good move

  And for 990 I said the same thing.. So I don't know why you bolded the "does not" part...?
