## Details

As population grew in South Zone, Department of Transport and CMB, KMB, CTB conduct a Reform Program for Bus services in Westwood South Zone, this includes improving on Bus numbering system and diverse bus services for South Zone.

Renumbing:

CMB X5 (CMB 70)

CMB X5 was renumbered to CMB 70. When X5 was first opened for services, the perfix "X"5 in the front of the bus simply mean express but soon the perfix become used for services using Bypass Road therefore X5 was renumbered to 70 matching other South Zone Bus Services (70 to 79)

CMB 60 (CMB 70)

CMB 70 was renumbered to CMB 60. Due to another number 70 used by CMB, CMB route 70 which operates in South Bay have to change to Route 60.

CMB 233 (CMB A1)

CMB A1 was renumbered to CMB 233. Due to old airport was closed, A1 was renumbered to 233 to match other services (230 to 239) Services was also extended (See below)

New Services:

CTB 75

CTB 75 was introducted to serve people working in inzt Zone in South Zone, even though it is not Outbound services, it still listed on the program.

CMB 14C

CMB 14C was introducted to add additional services and work alongside with CMB 231. Route 14C operates from South Bay Depot to South Zone Bus Station and used the same bus stop Bay with CMB 231 in South Zone Bus Station. The route was belives to be a success as useage are high most of the time.

Extension/Division:

KMB 230

KMB 230 Used to operate between Glade Park and South Zone. Due to low usegae, the line was extended from Glade Park to Brook Square and was divided in South Zone via local road instead of express to South Zone (South) Bus Station.

CMB 231

CMB 231 Was extended in South Bay from South Bay End Bus Station to South Bay West Bus Station additional serving South Bay alongside with 14C. Services was divided via the North Side of South Bay instead of the main road in Central South Zone, services for the main road was replaced by CMB 233.

CMB 233

CMB 233 Was renumbered from A1 and was extended from Avation Club (Old Airport Terminal) to Rosewood Square Station Bus Station. No further change was made however it now run on some part of the 231 to reduce services duplicate on the same area.

Discount

Due to the new change on CMB 231 and 233, Discount was made between KMB and CMB at Myrtle Inzt Zone Bus Interchange. When using the same octopus card, passenger can change between KMB 230, CMB 231, 233 for free. KMB also added discounts between KMB 230 and KMB 14X.

## Result

The Result was proofs to be successful, Services 230, 231, 233, 14C useage was highly increased.

However due to unfinished development on the Inzt Side of the Town, CTB 75 useage is not high but the route is popular for people going to work in the area.
