New Bus Services Guide
Has anyone noticed the new bus guides? There are two new bus services guides: one for Yishun Town and another for Woodlands Town (please refer to original article for images of the maps, URL below).
Basically the new guides show all the trunk bus routes originating or passing through the town, together with a feeder map showing feeder services from the town interchanges and its connections with trunk services at key stops along the route. Put it simply, it"s basically a revamp of TransitLink Guide showing bus routes as colourful lines and how they connect to each other.
If you"re keen, you can get a copy from MRT stations (I picked up mine from Marsiling MRT station and Yishun MRT station). Alternatively, softcopy is available on the web (URL is available in the original article, URL below).
However, only SMRT bus routes are shown. This means that a number of SBS services that ply the two towns are left out. For your benefit, you may wish to note the following additions to make the map complete:
* 160: Jurong East to Woodlands/Johor Bahru
* 170: Queen St to Woodlands/Johor Bahru
* 161: Woodlands to Sengkang/Hougang
* 168: Woodlands to Tampines/Bedok
* 39: Yishun to Pasir Ris/Tampines
* 85: Yishun to Sengkang/Punggol
On another note, such maps are not new. SBS Transit had done something similar, which they call it "SBS Transit Guide". However, the guide only mapped out the feeder network. Attached is a snapshot for your reference (image in original article, URL below).
