    Okay, if the Loyang Bus Package got give one month notice, I am expecting Jurong West Bus Package to also be the same, with announcement in early August.

    Which means, in about 3 weeks from now, we should know the commencement dates of the Jurong West Bus Package already.

      Haven’t you heard? The Straits Times reported a new electric bus on a six-month trial, you should read that.

      Also, LTA should consider including older bus models that are wheelchair-accessible into GCM, such as Scania K230UB and Mercedes-Benz OC500LE.
