149? can be some svc from Eunos Int to marine parade road(loop)
Test market for future development near Tuas Port.
I think otherwise. To extend for this service quite unnecessary as a waste of resources. Cos most of the time, there is much people alighting or boarding during the lue hours . If you extend also no point. need to turn one big round also
Literally useless, just extend 248 is fine already, why need to introduce new service?
Ya just extend can ready no need for M. If this was in the past it would have very simple
I think it will be like 181/M, 182/M, and 900/A But no idea why lta wants to have this service. Could be something else like 244 or 149.
