LTA launched a new bus service at the North-East region of Singapore
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced a new bus service on their Facebook page.
The new bus will be in session between Punggol and Marina Boulevard and because of the massive lack of better numbers, LTA has chosen the number 666 for this new bus service. Bus service 666 will run starting 29 Feb.
The number 666 is known for its Satanic connotations

In contemporary Western art or literature, the number 666 is often used to symbolise the beast.

This is not the first time the number 666 is being used in Singapore.

So, there is really no need to be superstitious about the number 666.
To deliberately avoid the number 666 is essentially acknowledging the presence of the supernatural devil, right?
