    This service literally duplicates the whole Marine Parade & Upp East Coast section of TEL. When TEL4 & 5 opens this service need to amend to turn at Still Road South and then Upp East Coast Rd then terminate at Upp East Coast Ter (or Bedok South ITH in future)

    Driver SG 5110X bus 43 drove recklessly beating the red light at junction buangkok green.
    The lady driver behaves like a butch and talks loudly and rudely to commuters!

      Why didn’t you feedback to Go-Ahead Singapore?

      They could have dealt with the SG 5110X Service 43 bus driver
