    This bus service i believe will be of even greater demand if it operates as a full day service. I hope SBST can consider making 174e a full day service.

      Not ideal, cause SBST 174e doesn’t serve any expressways other than short PIE between Bukit Batok – Boon Lay.

      Or at least consider making it express both ways during peak hours. There are lots of people who do the ‘reverse-commute’.
