does it mean that 973 is not a BSEP service?
I think coz intention of 973 is to cover for 700's missing link between BPJ and Petir/Dairy Farm. Hence, maybe not counted as BSEP.

The good way is may prevent damage to 171/700 merge. So LTA and some girls decided to minimise their damage by having 973, then withdraw 700A and if feasible, convert 700 to peak hour (Note: 700 may be needed because of the evening ERP at Adam Rd) and 171 may then divert via Grange Road (did want to minimise damage by avoiding Bt Panjang Rd, Jelebu Rd, Petir Rd, Dairy Farm Rd and lose the link).
Anyway its scheme is like Finchley Road scheme, thus involving route 13/82. 13's withdrawal (Golders Green-Aldwych) together with 82's renumbering to 13, all kpkb.

According to LTA's news release in October last year on BSEP, there was no mention of any upcoming new bus services to ply Bukit Panjang. Instead, it was meant for the rationalisation of bus network due to DTL. I would overrule my previous comment saying that there's no purpose in putting the BSEP logo since the main focus is on GCM; basically BSEP is still ongoing but it will end somewhere this year.

Hi mr carbikebus, since you say it, I will be the first one to board 381 on 12-03-2017 early morning. I will also take it very often as it passes by my house at Punggol central/east. Most important it connects to waterway point bus stop. Save even more walking. Cheers. Thanks.
