Bus Service Rationalisation Phase 3

In the third phase of UrbanLinkz's bus service rationalisation, several services will have their routes amended to reduce duplication and provide faster overall journey times. New services wil be introduced to replace lost links resulting from the amendments, and also complement those operated by other companies. In addition, five trunk services serving Johor Bahru from Singapore, namely services 800, 801, 802, 810 and 811, will be renumbered. The following changes will take effect on Sunday, 27 November 2005.
