Singaporean netizens are having a field day with Satan jokes and puns after the Land Transport Authority (LTA) an**unced on its Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/WeKeepYourWorldMoving/?target_post=998899230180313) the launch of five new bus services on Monday. The "offending" bus service is numbered "666."
In popular culture, the number "666" is k**wn as the "number of the beast" and is believed to be the number used to invoke Satan.
According to the LTA, the "666" bus will service a route between Singapore's central business district area and Punggol, which is in the **rtheast of the island.
