      Goodness gracious, what are you doing!? 13 and 14 die die must NOT amend anywhere! These routes encounter high demand at various sectors along its route (13 specifically for YCK-Bishan, Bishan-Boon Keng, Kallang-Marine Parade)!
      To play it safe and avoid citizens rioting, 13, 14, 31, 155 don’t amend, as some of their stop-to-stop connections are not served by any other bus route.
      966 would possibly shorten to Eunos but this would not be beneficial to BPJ ppl, thus 983 extending is ok for me (but not to SMRT ofc, their resources over at KJ dying)
      However, you are right for 14e, it is withdrawing soon, along with 196e. and possibly 10e.
