    could extend to start from Bukit Batok Depot and loop at Jurong Gateway Road, skipping Jurong East INT Passing via Bukit Batok East, Bukit Gombak, Bukit Batok West & Boon Lay Way

    this extension could be useful for those who live in Bukit Batok East/Jurong East areas to get to Bukit Gombak with a direct bus

    i think Service 993 should be reroute like 98 (exclude route to Boon Lay Way) to Jurong East Ave 1 and Jurong East Central on both route before turning to Jurong Town Hall Rd towards Bukit Batok Rd for easier access. and not to duplicate 160.
