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...

lemon1974 SG

Wait. 26 amendment is not a BSEP service. There will be 1 new service from Bedok to Tampines according to press release

Maybe another similar case as sv76. Cut short one bus service (sv67?) n then introduce another one cover the shortened route

Quite like what I've once suggested, if that's the case. Downside would be the loss of direct links from Tampines to Lavender / Little India / KK, but there is 23 and 65 (and DTL3 in the future) to partially cover for it.

it might make sense though

67 ends at bedok, then tampines int have 1 bus service free space. then intro tampines to bedok via the deleted sector

if this happens, then this is nothing to do with 68 coz 68 starts at pasir ris int

anyway if commuters want to travel from geylang to safra tampines, can still take 28 since it parallel with 67 (though only parallel till tampines ave 1)

I agree too... Tampines has so many buses running parallel...

Svc 28/67: Geylang - SAFRA Tampines
Svc 21/67: Sims Ave - Jalan Eunos Junction & Bedok Reservior Rd - Tampines Ave 5

Cannot anyhow split or shorten 67. 20 bendy buses, how? Somehow, SMRT is taking forever to buy double deckers. Commuters from Little India / KK Hospital / Lavender / Geylang will cry to go Bedok / Tampines. Somehow it is crowded with foreign workers and maids. Bedok Interchange got no space.

It is however sad to see 67 go. It will be discussed in another meeting. Another way is to wait until either the complaints quietened down or PAP is thrown out of power (Marine Parade GRC & East Coast GRC especially).

It might make sense to split 28. It is too windy a route. 28 shorten to Bedok. 152 shorten to loop at Paya Lebar :)

28: Tampines - Paya Lebar (Loop)

152: Toa Payoh - Bedok

ya..not sure why someone menton sv68, unless it did not start from pasir ris..

was thinking that sv26 might get amended (chai chee) plus extended to upper east coast or CBP terminal, thus free up some space at Bedok, while, sv67 can be cut short to bedok, with a new service serving bedok and tampines...

starscream_07 SG

Gd to have anothr svc at Chai Chee. New bus stops already erected ard 3 weeks ago at Chai Chee Dr/St..

starscream_07 SG

Fantastico!!

I don't want to sound cocky here... but if implemented, this was another one of my suggestions for sv 26 to modify to Chai Chee.

Great move!!

Frankly I emailed LTA before rgd another bus at Chai Chee but they didn't like the idea. Surprisingly...

well if 67 were to cut short, i believe 21, 23, 65 & upcoming DTL3 is the alternative

65 goes to bedok reservoir & safra tampines from little india

23 goes to tampines ave 5 from little india also

from geylang, Bedok MRT & bedok reservoir to tampines, there is 28

from geylang to tampines ave 1/5, there is 21

from little india to bedok north/reservoir/tampines east stations, there will be DTL3 soon

BusAnalayzer SG

67 could be Eunos > CCK. 68 could be Pasir Ris > Eunos via Tampines and Bedok. This could be another possibility.

Though there is need for a new service along Tampines St 86 area with the new condos/HDBs there. This is probably what we were expecting with 68 to connect Pasir Ris, Tampines Ave 10, Temasek, DTL3 and loop but could also make sense to extend to Eunos/Bedok via Chai Chee. (if 26 is not doing this.)

BusAnalayzer SG

17A can change into a new service originating from CBP > ITE > Bedok North Depot > Bedok North Ave 4 > Bedok North Road > Bedok MRT > Chai Chee Estate and back.

Again really depends which service is diverted to Chai Chee, but Chai Chee does need a good trunk service.

With this change 229 can be edited to ply Bedok South Road directly instead of looping around Chai Chee.

BusAnalayzer SG

That was exactly my suggestion on 26 few months back :)

28: Tampines - Paya Lebar (Loop)

Better to cut 67 than 28. 28 is not as long. 67 is too long and now with DTL, makes more sense to split. Moreover, the Tampines side will be with SBST and better reliability.

azharjj SG

but isnt this too ambitious? though it is a good idea

doubt LTA will do that

Being ambitious is not bad ;-)

There should be a bus svc to Tampines St 86 eventually, but if u look at google maps street view, the road junctions at both ends are left turn only, so it'll be quite hard for a bus svc to ply St 86 in both directions. Strangely, there's bus bays built along St 86 on both sides of the road.

I think St 86 would just have a feeder bus svc from Tampines Int, looping there. As for the new Tampines-Bedok bus svc, it could be the splitting of 67, although it's not really a "new" svc and would probably cause a bigger hoo-ha than the 76 amendment. But honestly Tampines and Bedok are quite well connected by buses alrdy.

array88 SG

To all those people suggesting to split up 67, I suggest that you go and observe how many people take 28/67 at Bedok MRT during PM peak. And a lot of them alight at the first bus stop along Bedok North Ave 3, where there's only 28/45/67. If you want to touch 67, I'm interested to see how 28 is going to tank the load alone.

(Unless there's a replacement route that uses New Upp Changi Rd via Bedok MRT)

Furthermore, 67's route between Tampines Int and Bedok or even up to Kallang / Little India is very unique and well-utilised. Cutting it will make Bedok North Ave 3 residents lose their direct connection to Geylang (especially where 28 doesn't ply or skip bus stops) and even Little India / Mustafa. And in another direction, link to Tampines Int will also be lost (for those suggesting replacement routes to Pasir Ris instead), unless everybody is happy with 168 and a long walk to Tampine Int / town centre (northern tip) which I highly doubt so.

And for those suggesting 21, 23, 65, 66 as alternatives, they basically serve different groups of people. And DTL3 is not even up yet, not to mention that DTL3 is not really parallel to 67.

array88 SG

What?Winding routings again?

26 to Chai Chee is not that winding actually...

May i know how many new bus stops it serve and how many bus stops it skipped?

Do the LTA style, split up and make ppl transfer..

Got buses can already
