LTA plans mah..Seriously 68 its inside the Loyang package already.I believe Tower Transit,Go Ahead and those two incumbents will bids for Sungei Seletar package..And i heard the bidding will extend till Ulu Pandan and the rest of the remaining packages will be run by the two incumbents till their BSOL expires in 2021.Just imagine Go Ahead already with Loyang wins Ulu Pandan or Sungei Seletar and Tower Transit with Bulim wins either Sungei Seletar or Ulu Pandan..

Hi mr carbikebus, they will not merge and they will not extend so long distance. Their motto changes from long distance bus routes in the past to short trunks currently. Cheers. Thanks.

Hi mr carbikebus, I think sbs 68 starts pasir ris, not Punggol. Cheers. Thanks.
68 is all speculation yet. Pasir Ris is not really in need of a new service as both ave 1 and ave 3 is pretty well taken care of.
Moreover Pasir Ris town has direct connections to most places.

Hi mr carbikebus, hooray. Sbs 68 starts from Punggol, the town which is so badly connected before all these BSEP enhancements (382, 386, 117,118) come in and it is still one of the only towns without a direct basic trunk service to the city area up until today. So may I know where is the destination of sbs 68 since the route cannot be divulged? Cheers. Thanks.

Pardon my cynism but I have a feeling its another useless duplicate service that goes to places like Sengkang, Upper Serangoon, Pasir Ris or Tampines.
I could be wrong though. It could be another 972.

Yes,After a few LTA introduced trunk service,I learn not to hope for much.All the talk is about freq,Reduce bunchings,Maintain headways,Cannot early cannot late more than 5 mins as if we are robots..

cut short sv 62 then intro new svc ah?
62 already got plans to terminate at Lor 1 so BCs can get a rest,Really?If at Geylang already 18 mins behind schedule whats there to rest?
I heard the BCs which follow TT and GA is working less than 5 years for the incumbents.Old timers also very smart cause if they pension or get retrench they get more $$$$$ from their respective company.
I thought 68 was the short trunk from Pasir Ris-Tamp Ave 4 (Loop) according to the map shown at the bus carnival? Has it been changed?

They will face a challenge trying to pool standby buses.
Perhaps the day will come in Singapore where the managers/supervisors themselves have to drive spare buses and enter revenue service.

Why does Punggol need another service right now? This is just beyond me... That too waste with using sv 68. I hoped they kept this for chopping of 67 instead.
The only trunk service I want to see in North East is a Sengkang-Whompoa service via Sengkang West Way to complement overly crowded sv 50.

Too early to say,Q4 only can finalise..Proposal is either Pasir Ris or Punggol.
If i disclose it now i will be breaching the company rules and regulations..You dont know anything i suggest you just keep your mouth shut.Its already inside Loyang 25 bus service package.You can bloody well carry on with your Jurong West antique for all i care.No one here force you to believe it.For your info i am back with the public transport industry after a long hiatus.
