Bus service 88 axed


A WEEKEND bus service to and from Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) was given a doubly auspicious number when it started 11 months ago.

But Service 88, which ferries passengers to and from Coleman Street near City Hall MRT station, will be taken off the roads from Monday.

Transport operator SMRT decided to axe the $2 service because it was not getting enough passengers, a spokesman told The Straits Times.

Five other public bus services plying routes to the integrated resort will continue.

The cancellation of Service 88 comes after the authorities directed RWS and Marina Bay Sands in September to stop offering shuttle bus services to and from housing estates and the downtown area.

They were told to focus on attracting tourists instead of Singaporeans.

That one still around and doing very well. It is operated by SBS. The one that was axed is RWS88 operated by SMRT from Coleman Street to RWS. I saw that almost every bus is empty when in operation.
