History
- 2023 (24 Sep): Renumbered from Service 160M with the extension of its route along Bukit Batok West Ave 8 & Bukit Batok Rd
- 2023 (24 Dec): Serves a new bus stop outside Blk 432A along Bukit Batok West Avenue 8
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
Should be under Bulim
Should extend to Loop at Tengah ITH from Clementi via AYE, Jurong East MRT, Bukit Batok West
so also have connection from Tengah, Bukit Batok and Clementi
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.
I hope SBST deploy kub on 993
It is indeed full of them
