Possible enhancement where Lee Bee Wah annonuced about the enhancements to the following:

"Following my recent meeting with LTA, I had received good news from LTA......Thanks to LTA!
Current: Bus 811, 806, 804 – PM peak period is between 5.15pm to 7.15pm
My suggestion: To extend the PM peak period to 8.15pm instead.
w.e.f 15 Dec
- There will be an additional bus added to service 804, 806 and 811.
- In order to align to the late PM peak period, operating hours for PPSS 811P will be shifted to a later timing (6.00pm - 8.00pm) upon its launch.
Additional bus info, also wef 15 Dec:
- There will be 2 buses and additional trips added to service 969
- Additional trips will be added to 169
- 1 single deck bus will be converted to a double-deck for service 850E"

For ur info this month 804 had 10 buses from 9,806 got 13 from 12 and 811 ardy 14.

Bukit Merah Int
Bukit Merah Central
Jalan Bukit Merah

Redhill Road - use 63's stops
Lengkok Bahru - use 139's stops
Hoy Fatt Road - use 63's stops
Lengkok Bahru
Jalan Tiong (new bus stop)
Tiong Bahru Road - Redhill MRT station
Redhill Close (use 63's stop, then new bus stop along one-way road)
Jalan Bukit Merah
Henderson Road
Bukit Merah Central

Reasons:
- First bus service to ply one-way road section of Redhill Close'
- Plys Lengkok Bahru, Hoy Fatt Road (and Jalan Tiong) to supplement 63 and 139.
- Provides connection to Redhill MRT station
Express (no bus stops) sectors in red.

63 will be affected though...Many of the residents can either walk to the MRT or take 63 to Tiong Bahru MRT. So having this feeder bus is quite...
Redhill close side is en-bloc flats if i'm not wrong, they still can walk to the main road to take 197,196,147,961 to Outram.

141214 (~2320hrs)

SMB1415R (307PM04) almost rear-ended SMB1413X (927). Location was at NorthVale stop (BS 44541). SMB1413X was on the outer lane while SMB1415R was in the inner lane. Think pax at bus stop suddenly wave for 927 so SMB1413X slowed down and swerved from outer lane straight into the bus bay. BC of SMB1415R, which was just behind in the inner lane, had to jam brake to prevent rear-ending SMB1413X. SMB1415R eventually also went into the bus bay.

At the traffic light, BC of SMB1415R drove next to SMB1413X, stopped, and communicated with BC of SMB1413X, telling him that if it was him, he will not pick of the pax as it was too sudden and may cause danger to the traffic behind.

After the traffic light turned green, both buses continued on their journey to YewTee and Zoo respectively...
