I think SBS bus 162 would be amended or shortened to serve Midview City near Bright Hill MRT station or turn right from Sin Ming to Upp Thomson Rd (instead of Left) looping at Bishan Park before heading back to Yio Chu Kang for Thomson East Coast Line Rationalisation.
1 week plus from 162 looping at Sin Ming drive, yet the bus board at bus stop still indicating 162 heading to Shenton Way, this might cause elderly to mistaken it route
Timings from Yio Chu Kang would be 05:30 – 23:30 (Daily).
First bus timings for 196 from opp Bt Merah Town Ctr (ARTDIS), would be changed to 5.45am daily with the shortening of 167. Last bus timings will then be extended to 11.45pm instead of 11.15pm daily.
