As a daily bus commuter from JW St 64s to Tengah… looking at the Garden Waterfront II map, 181 will likely serve other areas other than Tengah Blvd. I hope it plies Tengah Garden Avenue/future Hong Kah MRT just like and the new stop that 97 passes through. As there is no direct way from Tengah Blvd to PIE for now, likely reach JW from Bukit Batok road -> PIE (Tuas). For the return route, should be the straight forward route through JW Ave 2 to return to Tengah I hope.
I’m guessing the announcement will be either late Q2 or early Q3?.. anything earlier is a great bonus for those of us who can’t wait for the re-routed service to start.
I personally hope (but doubt it will happen) for 181 to ply other roads such as JW St 72 – Ave 4 – St 64, instead of St 75 – 64 – it is often impossible to board the stop at St 64 at peak hours even with 4-5 services serving it, as everyone in the 2 estates from both sides of St75, and St64 are boarding there since nearby stops are poorly served. Ave4 is accessible to us but 193 has 20min waiting time in mornings, 242 spins round and takes a long time to reach Boon Lay interchange, so we would all crowd at St64 stop or simply walk to Boon Lay MRT.
Was on 974 yesterday, and just past Westwood Sch bus stop there’s works being done to create a junction at Jalan Bahar and Bulim Drive, so I suspect that 181 will use this junction to connect to the PIE.
I mean not really? 181’s current turnaround point is going to be turned into Bulim Walk, and then it’s just a left turn to Bulim Drive and this junction, it feels like the shortest path that still makes use of the bus stops at the turnaround point tbh

A bit out of range la hor. Most probably this road works not related to 181.
