      None of those are needed, what they can do for 165 is to make it low frequency like 167. Otherwise, you can amend it to Sembawang, Choa Chu Kang or Woodlands.

    Many people take 165 from Hougang Ctrl Int to Hougang Ave 8. Last 165 leaves Hougang at 11:20pm which is too early.

    165A is needed from Hougang Ctrl Int to Hougang Ave 2 (63319 Opp Blk 634). Then downroute 165 from 63311 Blk 634 back to Hougang. Operate full day from 7am-12:30am.
