Will it have service guides like bus service guides for me because I would like to have that
Will be anticipating to get its service guide
Probably can take all the SBS-registered Citaros in storage and run this service.
Think this service just need 3-4 buses only…
In fact ,this route number should be 239. A better fit
My thought is for 230 to run via Lorong 7 to Braddell MRT and then loop at Caldecott MRT, replacing 232 Lorong 7 sector and provide new links to Caldecott. 232 can then convert back to G/W plate and go Lorong 6 straight to/from TPY Int. This means TPY East will now have 230/238 and Lorong 6 will have a faster 232 to int, providing much needed relief to 238. Also every road will now have a direct link to TPY MRT and every second road will have a direct link to Caldecott MRT via either 235 or 230.
