LTA's Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP) (Part 4)

last SG · 2015-12-04T16:42:41+00:00

Hi mr busanalyser, don't think they will introduce 2 Punggol new services at the same time even though I see 2 plaques being constructed at berth B2 and B4 a...

carbikebus SG

haha. as i have expected

i am hoping 68 is not going direct to still rd & then loop at marine terrace

& i guess 43 is the alternative to tanjong katong/marine parade from AMK ave 3 area since 76 duplicates 43 route

People from Eunos no need to wait for svc 13 to East Coast Park through Marine Ter.

carbikebus SG

This is interesting. Seriously.

Didn't expect 68 to be used so soon. I was still hoping it is reserved if and when 67 might get cut short to use 68 for Tampines-Rochor.

76 amendment to Eunos is very funny. The only way this is possible if Marine Crescent part is omited and bus turns left to Still road from Marine Parade Road (966 route). I can see why they may want terminating point for 76 as it is quite a long looping route, but not sure this is the best as 76 is very popular at Marine Crescent. Unless it does a big loop around Siglap Road > Kembangan to terminate at Eunos.

If 76 goes from Marine Crescent, there will be a missing gap to Tanjong Katong road, Paya Lebar MRT and Paya Lebar road. Quite unlikely IMO, but let's see.

Maybe YCK already jam packed and svc 43 can do the job?

carbikebus SG

So winding ah your route,To Paya Lebar there is 24,155,To Parkway there is 966 mah..

azharjj SG

People from Eunos no need to wait for svc 13 to East Coast Park through Marine Ter.

and also another service from eunos to geylang apart from 154 haha

BusAnalayzer SG

There is already 24 and 154 to Eunos from Paya Lebar.

If they wanted to make this change, they should have done.

Lor 1 Geylang <> YCK Terminal for sv 76

There is not a single route connecting Geylang (bet Aljunied/Paya Lebar) to Paya Lebar road (sv 80 connects before Aljunied MRT only). This would have provided more unique connection than duplicating 154/24 to Eunos.

If 68 is short service from Eunos to Marine Terrace only, again I am surprised because this takes away direct connection to Marine Terrace from Tanjong katong / Parkway Parade. 196 does this only in one direction.

plus 28 as well.... basically new 68 + amended 76 = current 76... pretty bad idea, but it will provide better frequency for Marine Cres paxes.....

there is no space at Lor 1 Ter... best is that it loop at lor 1 or sims way...

Hi mr lemon1974, just saying out my thoughts. No flaming! If loop at lorong 1 geylang, may as well continue with present 76 to marine crescent loop. One of the main objectives for this is to have a terminating interchange for Sbs 76. So defeats the purpose if just amended to loop again albeit at another location. Cheers. Thanks.

Or can terminate at Sims Place Ter,Still got ample lots for 1 more service.

Fully support truncating 76 at Sims Pl. With all the development in the Paya Lebar MRT area, a direct link from Sims Pl/Dr is imperative. Right now, residents have to walk out to Sims Av, or to Geylang East Central. Quite inconvenient for such a short hop.

Or, I would also support a Tg Katong - East Coast Rd - Still Rd - Eunos. This sector is not served by 155, and 40 does not serve Paya Lebar MRT. Only MRT connection is to Dakota MRT. Again, Paya Lebar is becoming a regional centre, so a link other than 40 would be good.

carbikebus SG

Yeah man..

lemon1974 SG

I dun mind 76 continue with marine cres...... but no point going to eunos since there are so many duplicating services.

ButIAmAToilet SG

Still 10 times better than going to Eunos via Bedok South

carbikebus SG

63 can terminate at Bt Merah and introduce one feeder/ trunk svc looping at Rumah Tinggi.

SBS7557R SG

63 can terminate at Bt Merah and introduce one feeder/ trunk svc looping at Rumah Tinggi.

A better option would be for 63 (if extended to Bt Merah Int) to ply Jln Rumah Tinggi in both directions with red plate for Bukit Merah bound trips and white plate for Eunos bound trips whilst being extended to Bt Merah Int, as per a suggestion I did in Route Suggestions.

carbikebus SG

Can also but Bt Merah long time no new svc since they withdrawn 275.And most of the svc is from other depots.

carbikebus SG

36 also can extended to BTM..

Bussyboy50 SG

36 also can extended to BTM..

Yes,it was the old 16 that goes from Bt Merah to Airport...how i miss that era and also 989 from Choa Chu Kang to Airport..

SBS3004X SG

Will there still be BSEP after GCM is implemented?

dupdup77 SG

Will there still be BSEP after GCM is implemented?

Hi mr SBS3004X, of course yes. These 2 events Bsep and gcm are two mutually exclusive events. Cheers. Thanks.
