If BSEP never happened:
1. Tampines Concourse/Compassvale Bus Interchange and CBP Bus
terminal would not have been built.
2. Punggol will not have any feeders, and will have half the
services it has today, so the interchange expansion would not have
happened.
3. Certain areas will have limited/poor bus connectivity
(Punggol, Sengkang West, Keat Hong, Changi Biz Park, St. Wilfred
estate etc)
4. Fleet size of the operators will overall be smaller (much
fewer Wrights, Citaros, A22s and Enviros on the roads)
and much more.....
Interestingly Pasir Ris is the only new town I can think of that
did not get any new BSEP services, 358P and 359P does not
count since they were withdrawn...
As for the individual BSEP services, personally I think the
worst BSEP service in terms of popularity is 122 or maybe 141,
while the best will be 50, 118, 860 (before 807) or 972...
Even if BSEP had not happened, there would still be some route
modifications and new services introduced such as Punggol feeders,
Sengkang feeders. Yes, there wouldn't be 80 new services but I
predict there would still be around 20 new services to cater to new
town expansions that didnt have a connection before.
In the worst service, I would say 46, 122 are poorly planned.
127 should potentially extend to Compassvale to make it more
effective. Like 883, I believe 127 will have better loading in
future with further development of industrial estate and Tampines
North town.
