Should introduce Short Trip 238A from Toa Payoh Bus Interchange to Toa Payoh East (Blk 23) during evening peak hours on weekdays to supplement the high demand for feeder 238 from Toa Payoh HDB Hub/Bus Interchange and Toa Payoh MRT Station to residential estates along Kim Keat Link and Toa Payoh East.
Bus service 238 needs DDs very badly. It shld be deployed asap.
Can just deploy double deckers on this service since it is so freaking crowded during peak hour
There used to be bus 237 a long time ago, along with 238 which plys at Lorong 7 Toa Payoh. It is no longet existing now.
