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

Sims Place Bus Terminal

Sims Place has eight parking lots.

From where did you get this info? It has only 4.

Hi mr jurongresident, yes even the surroundings around changi business park look quite non-existent. Cheers. Thanks.

There are plans to have CBP 2 around the area. But guess it will be only 2020+ for it to be ready.

BusAnalayzer SG

I feel that they won't utilise all 8 parking lots... But still can have more services.

Maybe 47 can be extended to Sims Place via Haig Rd? Or, if you still want to go crazy, 47 can be extended to Lor 1 Geylang and then merge with 141 to TPY?

47 and 141 cannot. Then no DDs.

I counted as I looked at Sims Place Bus Terminal from the MRT, as the train traveled from Kallang to Aljunied station. I double-checked using the street view of Google Maps. There are really eight parking lots at Sims Place Bus Terminal.

Maybe should open up a canteen imo...

But I guess, it's a short walk to SUTD canteen bah?

Yes, it is only a short walk. The walking distance between Changi Business Park Bus Terminal and the SUTD building is only around 360m, and it probably takes around 5 mins to walk there and back. This is shorter than walking at least 600m from an office in Bukit Merah to a food/hawker centre along Jalan Bukit Merah...

Well, this settles lunch/dinner for the people working in the office at the bus terminal and the people driving bus service 47.

However, I do not know if they aware there is a canteen nearby.

Do not only blame me if you find that this thread or this forum is becoming worse.

Do not say yourself until so good, if you are also causing the threads to go off-topic and making the forum worse.

You know who you are.

Once again,

If our minds are great, then why do we always discuss about people, occasionally about events and rarely about ideas?

Think about it.

Let us change for the better.

Let us start by returning back to topic.

What minds discuss about buses?

JB Sentral Bus Terminal

There are twenty four end-on parking lots (known as "bus bays").

There are two platforms A and B. Each platform has twelve parking lots.

Bus Services 170 and 160 are at platform A and Bus Service 950 is at platform B.

950 is much easier to board than 170/160, because far less people.

Practically every interchange... lol

Practically every interchange... lol

Hahas.. Not all lorhx... I was thinking of Bishan Interchange can use the open field to have an integrated hub.

*Future intergrated hub: Bishan, Yio Chu Kang, Marina South

I also think that Queen Street Bus Terminal can be shifted to the empty field along Ophir Rd/Beach Road there... So that people have access to Bugis MRT and easy also for ppl to go to Arab Street and nearby shopping facilities.

LTA should also consider underground bus ITHs for more parking spaces..Rather than cramp one whole ITH with so many buses..waiting accident to happen only.

If underground ITH then where will the underground supermarkets and carparks go?

I would prefer with the shopping mall below the Bus Interchange just like Bedok Bus Interchange.

Larkin Terminal

Apparently, there is space (around two parking lots) reserved for SMRT (or any Singapore public bus operator).

We can open one new cross-boarder bus service to Larkin - if there is strong demand from Singapore people for a second bus service to Larkin.

Because if it is for the Malaysia people, there is already a variety of bus services between JB and SG by the Malaysia bus companies.

The towns in the vicinity of the Woodlands checkpoint - Woodlands, Bt Panjang, CCK, Bt Batok are already being served though. Yishun has AC7. Also consider the frequent jams at the causeway.

A better thing to do is to add more train trips, as well as finish up the plans and constructions of the legendary KL-SG high-speed rail.

Interchanges/Terminal that need to be expanded:

What distinct a terminal from a bus interchange? The size or the functions? I thought passengers can make transfers at Kent Ridge, why is it still call a terminal?

LTA should start consider having more small road side bus terminals. More bus terminals would result in shorter and more time reliable bus trips. And with more mrt stations and more comfortable train rides, more people will now be willing to make bus-train transfers. I am caught by surprise an almost empty train cabin along the E-W on an evening week day peak hour. If the E-W train cabins are less packed, more people like me will be more willing to take trains instead.

LTA can consider having a bus terminal in Napier. And having shorter and more frequent and reliable bus trips between Napier and the nearby estates. The Thomson line can bring the commuters into Orchard and City.
