Bus Terminal, Interchanges & Depots

last SG · 2015-09-25T18:44:25+00:00

Anyway Sengkang still has space for 2 more services if they make 86 and 87 loop there.

SBS 9256 X SG

Not really... 43 frequency has improved a lot in the last 2 years... route will be extended by few kms true... but would have been better than have altogether new route that is so duplicative.

Hmmm... I get your point.. Maybe wait for Upp East Coast Road Terminal to go for revamp in conjunction to the Thomson-East Coast Line.. Possible for extension? We won't know.

I was just thinking. There was no need for sv 47. They could have simply extended sv 43 to terminate at CBP via Bedok South Ave 3, Tanah Merah MRT. At same time, 48 could have been diverted via UEC, Bedok Road to terminate at BNDEP.

This way the buses that run empty between MP and UEC on sv 43 could have also received some impetus.

that's why I felt 47 should go to Sims Place. If can merge with 125 lagi better.

Like this Bedok South Ave 3 residents will lose their direct connection to Bedok Market Place... Although it's not that heavily utilised today, people will still complain.

Idk if this is old news, but,
The new Tuas Terminal will be integrated with Tuas MRT depo.

Not a huge concern. South ave 3 residents would have appreciated sv 43 as it has DDs. They would have liked the direct connection to ITE, Expo & CBP. Current load of 48 is just to Tanah Merah MRT. And few who board at Tanah Merah towards industrial estate, but have 2/9 as well.

Now lets us wait for the New Tuas Terminal and see which services amended to terminate there.

Confirmed Candidates:
Svc 182/182M, Svc 192, Svc 193

Suggested Services:
Svc 254

New Services:
Maybe 3 new services, 1 of which covers the extended sector of Tuas (Jurong Shipyard)

hoping that SBST introduce a new cross border service from tuas to JB (bukit indah).. and most likely one of the CW link bus will be terminating here as well..

Hmm.. Maybe two new services... 1 to Legoland/Iskandar City and 1 more to maybe Larkin via 2nd Link... I believe CW6 should terminate at the new terminal...

Perhaps like what I suggested back then?

If 182/M is cut short to Tuas, there'll have to be a replacement service doing Jln Ahmad Ibrahim & Pasir Laba Camp. (I suggested 256, resuming the Boon Lay - Tuas Checkpoint link.) However, it's always possible to shorten 182 to Tuas South Ave 6/8, then introduce a new service from Tuas Int to ply the extended Tuas South (i.e. Ave 3/10/12/14).

It will be beneficial for 192 to serve Tuas West Rd MRT station. If 254 is extended to Tuas Term, it can route via Tuas West Rd & Tuas Link 4 to cover 192, allowing 192 to divert to the station and Pioneer Rd. (However, this would also mean that a replacement service is needed to cover the lost stretch at Tuas Ave 11, so I suggested 259.)

255 will need a better connection with Gul Circle MRT station. Likewise, 193 / 254 will need a better connection with Tuas Crescent MRT station.

A new service can bridge the link between Pioneer Sector 1/2 and either Gul Circle or Tuas Crescent MRT station. (I suggested 250.)

move 160 there or other service that cross to JB after the new MRT extension line open.

Tuas Bus Terminal (Interchange)

Tuas Bus Terminal (Interchange) has (up to) around twelve bus parking lots.

This means it can have six bus services.

For the numbers, we can fill up the gaps between 243 and 259. The available numbers are 244, 245, 247, 248, 250, 259. To minimize confusion, we should retain the numbers 192, 193 and 182.

Recommendations on bus services:

-192 and 193 no change.

-254 amended to start at Tuas Bus Terminal (Interchange).

-250 and 259 for Tuas South.

-182 re-structured. Shortened to Tuas Bus Terminal (Interchange) and Re-routed to Bukit Batok. 182M can be removed.

I think it is better to let Malaysia bus companies operate the bus services to Malaysia. Because if we let our Singapore bus companies operate bus services to Malaysia, I am not sure if the people there will sabotage our buses and our bus drivers or not.

Nice one:

182 - I would have this service do Joo Koon - Tuas Terminal (loop)

All other services I like.

With move of 254 to Tuas, you need new service (248) along with 257 that will do Pioneer Rd/Sector.

Why not let 192 run along Pioneer Road, since at the section between Gul Circle MRT station and Joo Koon MRT station it duplicates 193, and it connects to Pioneer MRT station?

Actually, the 250 and 259 is I anyhow create one. I feel that they can be improved.

182... actually, it can remain the same; no change. No need for 250 actually. If want, use back 182's original route to Jurong East Bus Interchange, or let it run to Bukit Batok Bus Interchange. Otherwise, the current route is good enough.

Are you sure it's a good idea to retain 182's Tuas South section, AND extend it all the way to Jurong East / Bt Batok? Doesn't seem wise for a looping service. It will bunch.

Regarding 192/193/254 ... how about letting 192 and 254 swap routes between Benoi Rd and Tuas Rd? Such that 254 serves Jln Ahmad Ibrahim and the whole of Tuas Rd, and 192 does express along Pioneer Rd before crossing into Tuas Rd and Ave 3. In this way, all roads in between now get links to Gul Circle MRT station.

Also I'm still sticking forth to swapping 192 and 254 at Tuas West Rd. The other Tuas South service (259) can do Tuas Ave 11.

EDIT: I made some derivations to the routes based on your (jurongresident's) map, and my version is here (using colour scheme from Joo Koon Int flyers & posters):

https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zEEpmI3uw7s8.kTfxSyHlmlJU&usp=sharing

Mainly involves route swaps between 182 & 256 (extension to Bt Batok tentative), and 192 & 254. Slight modification to your 259.

What The?

How did you copy-paste my routes and edit it?

There's a copy function in Google Maps that activated when I logged into Google.

No offense bro. I did indicate that my version is built upon your original one. Click on the description, and you'll see the link to the original map.

Seriously ah. Can we not have this thread which combines discussions about every bus interchange, terminal and depot? This is not the style of SGforums leh.

I really do not want my Joo Koon Bus Interchange thread be the last thread dedicated to just one bus interchange/terminal/depot. Why stop at Joo Koon?

Changi Business Park Bus Terminal opens tomorrow.

Woodlands Temporary Bus Interchange opens next month.
