106

ahh, it's nice to hear of some bus amendments. especially to my dear bukit batok service. as of 1000hours on 260410, service 106 will be extended to terminate at Shenton Way terminal. The service will still serve the Marina Centre area but will not terminate at Marina Centre terminal. With the new extension, this service will provide residents a link from Bukit Batok, Clementi, Holland and Orchanrd to the new Marina Bay Sands Resort. jyeah!


a lil history here...












106 (<1985) Buona Vista - Serangoon
106 (>1985) Bukit Batok - Serangoon (birth of Bt Batok)
106 (2001)   handed over from SBS to TIBS(SMRT)
(SBST won the tender to run NEL, therefore Sengkang/Punggol traded for Choa Chu Kang/Bt Batok)
106 (2003)   Bukit Batok - Marina Centre (due to duplication with NEL)
106 (2010)   Bukit Batok - Shenton Way (due to MBS)
