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...

There appears to be a conflict between the BSEP (British Subject Enrichment Programme) and the BCM (Basic Chinese Medication), that even the LTA is confused.

My concern is that there may be a discrepancy in the financial accounts, as a result of this same-same but different programmes.

The LTA may want to hire independent financial accountants to check that the accounts are in order.

I think you're the one who have and create more problems...Go find a part time job at Geylang and wear nice make up..

Today, the LTA revealed that 14 bus routes would be launched between September 2016 and end 2017.

Of the 14 bus routes, 6 have been announced, namely

883 (Sembawang), 127 (Tampines), 129 (Whampoa), 973 (Bukit Panjang), 374 (Sengkang), 381 (Punggol).

Another 8 bus routes will be announced from now until end of the year, in areas like Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Bishan, Bukit Batok, Hougang, Toa Payoh, Tuas and Yishun.

Honestly, I can almost certainly say that there is no such thing as the rumoured 500 running between Sengkang and Jurong West. Sengkang already has 374, and Jurong West is not in the list of areas revealed by LTA. It's time to accept the truth. If you wanna joyride, can always take taxi to and fro Jurong West and Sengkang, to satisfy your thirst (Grab Hitch cheaper; $15 per direction), or take MRT to and fro Sengkang and Boon Lay as many times as you like ($1.91 per direction).

Hi mr gekpohboy, 883 is sembawang not yishun. Cheers. Thanks.

Hi mr gekpohboy, 883 is sembawang not yishun. Cheers. Thanks.

883 does pass by Yishun so may be counted as Yishun service, although the only benefit it brings to Yishun residents is to link some blocks at Yishun Ave 2 to KTPH.

gekpohboy SG

Dupdup77 was right. 883 is a Sembawang service, as it uses Sembawang Bus Interchange parking lots.

Another 8 bus routes will be announced from now until end of the year, in areas like:

Ang Mo Kio (Sengkang West - AMK ??)

Bedok (DTL 3 connector to Bedok North Estate/Chai Chee, possibly going CBP)

Bishan (??)

Bukit Batok (Feeder service to BBT West new town)

Hougang (Buangkok Crescent)

Toa Payoh (Isn't 129 counted for TPY as well, otherwise ??)

Tuas (Tuas South Extension)

Yishun (feeder service to st 42/43/44)

** Not sure where would services be launched from mature estates AMK, Bishan and Toa Payoh as no new development, and already have many existing services.

How come Sengkang and Tampines North are not mentioned above?

I just realized LTA hasn't published where these 14 bus services will be launched? Gekpohboy you made it up??

Hi mr busanalyser, LTA published already. 4 bus routes already implemented from sep 2016 to feb 2017. March 2017--2 services (374, 381). Remaining 8 by end of 2017. Will be spread among the towns they give. Go to bus contracting model thread for the news release. Cheers. Thanks.

BusAnalayzer SG

Thanks, just saw. How come no Pasir Ris? What about svc 68 then?

Hi mr busanalyser, this is the puzzling thing that baffles me. I also don't know seriously. Cheers. Thanks.

Hi mr SMB1368T, this is even more puzzling. That time the straits times out Go Ahead has recruited enough bus drivers and they are in a better position to introduce bus service 68 in April 2017. Cheers. Thanks.

BSEP ends this year... Hence, there will be bumper new bus services announced this year. Unless BSEP is renewed but from what I have heard it won't be.

SMB1368T SG

68 looks like its going to serve DTL3 TP but I only saw 19 & 291 going to serve those bus stops outside TP stn

vampier77 SG

Regarding this few days saw some bc training bus at frankel ave to changi Rd

Sims ave east frankel ave

The area only bus service 32 and 42 possible for the next bus service to add

dupdup77 SG

All, with or without BSEP, new bus services will definitely be introduced from yr 2018 onwards. BSEP is just a name sake only. From 2018 onwards, another name may just come in or they may even proceed with no names. For those towns with expanded interchanges such as Punggol, Sengkang, hougang, upper east coast, tampines, surely new bus services will be introduced in tandem with new developments coming up In the towns.

Yr 2018 Q1 oasis terraces mall will be completed near oasis LRT in Punggol. There will also be Punggol polyclinic being built together with the mall. So we can expect yet another new service being introduced. Cheers. Thanks.

Thanks, just saw. How come no Pasir Ris? What about svc 68 then?

The thing about Pasir Ris is that the population is small, and there are already so many bus services to many parts of Singapore. Furthermore, there's the MRT station connecting it to the West, and the Northern areas. So there's no need for new bus services, or even city direct.

Yes, there are new flats, but these are around the town centre.

What I foresee is that if there is a need for enhanced bus connections to the fringe areas like Pasir Ris Street 51, a new feeder bus will be launched, and this would be a short route similar to 284 at Clementi.
