  • Service 88: 72% WAB buses; 80% LE buses

  For 62, SBS3119Z is replacing a non-WAB bus, most likely SBS938X.

  What kind of infrastructure works need to be done at TPY? Is there any bus service which has had WAB perms longer than svc 88 (6yrs) and to date isn't WAB?

   i understand what u r trying to say. but look at svc 88's berth... i dont think can board PIW from the berth? yup. 

  i guess if 88's not terminating at TPY it wld have gone WAB long long time ago.

  aiya, i remember last time when 80 was wab, the boarding point for these passengers was near the alighting berths at sengkang interchange, which is far away from 80's normal boarding berth which was also not wab friendly then. u nvr know what pattern sbst will chut one..

  Is it based on the ett that u see inside SBST website for those services that u mentioned?

  So far it is only the weekday that is revised wef 25/09. The weekend ones still the same leh... 161 also got the same thing as well...

  163 also got a new ett for weekday/sat/sun/PH starting next Mon. Not sure for whatever reason...

  At Toa Payoh Bus Interchange, the berth at Gate D1 has been removed and that site is sealed, and thus, service 73 & 238's berths have been shifted to Gate D2.

  i was thinking. very likely 73 238 157 163 can turn wab this time round.. since their berths are ready and 157 163 had massive fleet upgrades recently. 

  but im not sure how it works..

  If 88 goes WAB, 88 has to swap berth with one of the services at the sawtooth area.

  I don't know what's the hype about 163 but it will get WAB status sooner or later, since all services will be WAB in future.

  143's berth is PIW friendly cause it is at the side and got  enough space for wheelchair.
