Bus Terminal, Interchanges & Depots

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

Pervertedboy SG

well someone has created two almost empty threads.

Well, let us wait and see how receptive the members of today's SGforums are towards the two new threads.

May the market forces determine the way forward.

Should we do what we had been doing, or should we do it in a different way?

Choose wisely.

because traditionally, we had been having threads dedicated for only one bus interchange, terminal or depot.

do we really want to change our style of discussing bus interchanges, terminals and depots?

please understand that this has an impact on the quality of discussions on SGforums bus forum, and the attractiveness of the forum.

Moderators, please do not lock the new threads. Let the market forces decide which thread(s) survive. Naturally, the losing thread(s) will expire over time.

JurongWestresident SG

Seriously, if the members here really want to discuss every bus interchange, terminal and depot in a single thread, then why was there low response at my thread on "Future bus interchanges" (created on 28 February 2015)?

Why was there low response at the threads on bus depots created by carbikebus (on 1 April 2014) and by Gohqianyan832 (on 28 February 2015)?

Popularity vote?

Maybe this explains why the first thread on GCM (Government Contracting Model) created by Pervertedboy (on 9 December 2013) had limited responses.

Maybe it is really about popularity vote.

After all, users like BusAnalayzer does seem very popular here. So long as a thread is created by users like BusAnalayzer, everyone will accept it.

I am done wasting time and being played around.

I am out.

It is not about the attitude being good or bad. I do not feel that this place is good anymore. Sorry.

Bye.

Hi mr jurongwestresident, we are here to give our opinions. We are not here to be the first few to create new threads when the existing threads are already there to serve its purposes. There is no honour given to opening threads. We value your suggestions but we are certainly surprised by your self indulgence in all these recent topics and self replies. Cheers. Thanks.

Woodlands Temporary Bus Interchange

Hi. Is it true that the purpose of having this Woodlands temporary bus interchange is because the future thomson line station is planned below the bus interchange and the paid-link connection is somehow going to cut through the bus interchange?

Meanwhile, is the other purpose to take this opportunity to replace the old equipment and make the bus interchange more comfortable?

changiresident SG

Changi Business Park Bus Terminal

Actually, I do not think there would be much boarding and alighting activities at Changi Business Park Bus Terminal. Who goes there anyway? It's not as if that's a point of transfer from one bus service to another.

I guess the very purpose of having this bus terminal is only to host new bus services - BSEP new bus services - in the eastern area, as the existing bus interchanges are already full.

but why still need to build tampines bus interchange number two, and the east coast bus terminal number two? Hmm...

Jurong East Bus Interchange

Hi. Does anyone know when will the future Jurong East Bus Interchange be built? It has been four years since operations moved to the temporary facility. The new road (Gateway Drive) is already constructed and open. Soon, the economy will suffer a recession, where many people will become un-employed and things will become more expensive. Will this delay the development of the future Jurong East Bus Interchange?

Also, I heard that the future Jurong East Bus Interchange may be developed together with the Jurong Region Line. Is it true?

Anyway, when will it be ready? If I remember correctly, a newspaper article ever said that the temporary facility will be used for ten years, so I supposed in year 2022 the future Jurong East Bus Interchange will be ready. Construction should start latest by 2019... but why need so much time?

dupdup77 SG

Hi mr antidennislance, I think mr jurongresident has really lost it. Creates more and more nicknames and keep replying to his own topics in his own created thread. This guy really craves for attention. Why want to become like mr P..? Cheers. Thanks.

Yes, Yes, Yes.

but why still need to build tampines bus interchange number two, and the east coast bus terminal number two? Hmm...

unfortunately, changi business park bus terminal alone is not enough to support the increase in number of bus services in the eastern region. it is also not wise to have one large facility to contain every new bus service, otherwise there will be traffic congestion problems and unnecessary duplication of resources.

d143b2 SG

Yes, Yes, Yes.

/facepalm

you serious shooting this after the pathlight guy created ton of clones?

tuasresident SG

Jurong East Bus Interchange

Also, I heard that the future Jurong East Bus Interchange may be developed together with the Jurong Region Line. Is it true?

well, there is a likelihood that the Jurong Region Line will have a station interchange with the East-West-Line and North-South-Line at Jurong East. To some extent, the two developments have to accomodate one another. So, it is quite likely that the future Jurong East Bus Interchange will only be ready by 2025, at the same time as the Jurong Region Line.

as to why it takes so long, it is because have to first clear the land where the original bus interchange was, then plan carefully on how to use the land. then after that have to build the new road, etcetera. all these takes time. and you are right, the economy also influence the progress. it's going to take some time. but it is worth the wait, because next time you get to wait for the bus at Jurong East Bus Interchange in air-conditioned comfort. :)

Hey, please quit the habit of writing "Hi mr ..." and "Cheers. Thanks.".

You are the only user who is writing forum replies as letters.

Please quit this habit of yours. It's not healthy. It's a characteristics of autism, where the person keeps doing the same thing over and over again.

no worries. what im actually doing is to help this forum move forward. clearly, the majority of members here want this thread. so, it is this thread that we shall use.

(moderators, please lock the two new threads about changi business park bus terminal and woodlands temporary bus interchange. thank you.)

Hi mr tampines resident, haha. Who are you to teach me how to reply? I am being courteous when I write like that. This can be defined at most as a character trait. Unlike you. Who is the one who displays characteristics of autism when he chooses to ignore people in this forum again and again and creates lots of usernames and behaves like mr pathlight? Now got tampines resident, tuas resident, Punggol resident, mandai resident, Changi resident, jurongresident, etc. Damn childish. The fact that you like to reply to yourself is the most suitable criteria for autism. Worst is open unnecessary threads then ask moderators to lock them. All are free to judge. Cheers. Thanks.

It would be better if you acknowledge your flaws and rectify them; 知错能改。

There is no use arguing. I am only telling you what I feel you may want to work on. Whether or not you want to listen, it is up to you.

Thanks for the feedback. I will work on it.

woodlandsresident SG

bus interchange versus bus terminal.

I do not know if anyone has realised this. The terms "interchange" and "terminal" are quite same-same, but different.

same-same: both have bus interchange facilities, a bus bay, bus interchange canteen, etcetera.

different: "terminal" not air-conditoned, and less boarding/alighting activities. "interchange" air-conditioned and more boarding/alighting activities.

Based on changi business park bus terminal and the upcoming tuas bus terminal, it seems that the term "terminal" only means a facility that has limited or less boarding/alighting activities (than a "interchange") and it is not air-conditioned.

It seems that this is the new definition of "terminal", unlike in the past when a terminal means a container office, some parking lots and some portable toilets.

but of course, as now is still the transition phase for all bus interchanges to become air-conditioned, "terminal"s and the old/temporary "interchange"s tend to look alike.

Hi mr tampines resident, are you crazy or what? Writing hi mr ..., cheers and thanks is a flaw and still want me to acknowledge and rectify? Joker sia! Please tell me how you are going to work on it. Will you stop spamming this forum with all your usernames? If no, please do not act cute thanking people for the feedback and pretending to work on it. Thanks. Cheers.
