Introduction of Shortworking Trip 42A

With Effect from Monday 3rd October 2005, CBS42A will be introduced to ply from Bedok Int to Temasek Polytechnic between 0700 - 0900 hrs. This is to cater to the students of Temasek Polytechnic who are commuting daily to campus every morning. In a bid to optimise our service level and to cut resources between the lower demand sector of Temasek Poly & Tampines Int, more trips of CBS42A can thus be operated.
