LTA SLY!!! FOUND THE REAL REASON FOR RENUNBERING! So that they can charge more. For service 298X > 454, the service will operate as a trunk route instead of a feeder service, Maybe in future they will change it to charge express pricing? who knows?
this is what 10% frr does to a feeder
they wouldn’t be cruel to charge actual express fares tho
