Based off LTA's news release regarding the
negotiated bus contracts, perhaps we can expect to see new
services in 2017 as follows:
Sengkang/Hougang:
3 new routes
Perhaps new feeder for Anchorvale, new trunk route (or routes) out
of the Sengkang Extension Int?
Bedok: 1 new
route
Suspect rationale is to enhance connectivity to DTL3
Tampines: 1 more
new route (after incl. svcs 127, 129)
New feeder service?
Jurong West: 2
new routes
2x New JIS to better serve Tuas Industrial Estate?
Serangoon-Eunos:
1 new route
Suspect rationale is to enhance connectivity to DTL3
That's it for SBST, surprisingly for SMRT apparently there are
no more new services to be launched (svc 883 is the new service in
the Sembawang/Yishun package) so this suggests any new bus routes
will be accompanied
by shortening/elimination of other SMRT bus routes ...
Tampines: 68.
Sengkang: Unlikely feeder. Compassvale Bus Interchange probably
conflict with Buangkok Bus Interchange, that's why opening
delayed.
Bedok: probably to compensate a route cut.
Jurong West: One for Tuas, another for Jurong West.... may be
500.
Serangoon-Eunos: No new areas, so probably to compensate a route
cut.
