F1 poster seems to suggest this bus won’t call at stops along New Bridge Road anymore or at Kampong Bahru, and Marina Centre services won’t be officially loop routes. They did the same thing for NDP diversions, wonder why the sudden change
School been on depot road for 2 years and still no more DD?
This service has a horrible frequency. SBST & LTA must improve the frequency. Alot of ppl are using this bus and its not fair everyone has to wait 20 to 25 min jus for the bus to arrive.
I think should have deploy Double Decker also.
