samtlk SG Hmm..Btw how many parking lots and berths are there bro?Guess some of the svc still operate from the terminal until Gali Batu Terminal is ready right?Alighting berth same size as CCKI's but with 4 doors, 3 boarding berths, 9 services, 15 12m lots, 6 bendy lots. sv75, 184 & 700 still operate from the temp park.Some changes will be made with the surrounding bus stops when the ITH opens, so wait for the media release.

iveco SG There is widespread speculation that 700 may get axed. If that is so, 972 should terminate at NBR, with 190 ending at SWT and weekend service 190A looping at Suntec. Also, 176 is the most suitable for starting at Gali Batu, while 971e should start from the interior of BPJ estate.A side note, if the new SWT can accommodate one more route, 857 should layover there.
iveco SG r u saying that 857 may ply a single road in 2 directions?I am thinking somewhere along the lines of 133 style.
array88 SG I am thinking somewhere along the lines of 133 style.I suppose 97 style is better... 133 style will certainly result in complaints from people who used to board 857 at Suntec.

samtlk SG There is widespread speculation that 700 may get axed.Its not speculation. 700 just got its lifespan extended.

BusAnalayzer SG There was news of 171 cut to BPJ as well about a year back. I think they are waiting for BPJ Interchange to open before making further changes. 700 is doing quite well. I don't see the point of axing it. Can be renumbered if they don't like that it is the only service with 7xx. 700 can further be extended to Boon Lay via CCK Road, CCK Ave 1, CCK Ave 6, CCK Ave 5, CCK Ave 3, Brickland Road, KJE/PIE, Jurong West Ave 2, Jurong West Ave 4, Jurong West St 64, Boon Lay Interchange.
BusAnalayzer SG After Marina Coastal MRT Station opens:- New Shenton Way Terminal will be built along the entire strip of Palmer Road, with boarding and alighting facilities.- Old Shenton Way Terminal will be renamed to Maxwell Bus Terminal.why will it be named Maxwell bus terminal? Will it still be in use?
BusAnalayzer SG 176,920,922,970,972,973,975,979,979M.971E start from BS44641 - Blk 602It would have been better to have 972 start from temp bus park as it would help facilitate same stops transfer to CCK/UBT/Woodlands Road services at BPJ Road.Temp Bus Park:75, 176, 972700 extend to CCK or Boon Lay.

Along with the different loading pattern on both sides, not worth it.CCK maybe, but there would be a duplication of route (190) to Orchard. Also provided that there's space, which doesn't seem so at the moment. (Unless ... we can move some CCK services to Gali Batu or Bt Batok, then possible)

AJQZC SG 61 should move to CCK and delete the Ubi sectors...Not possible unless there is a split AND a route swap with another service.Also why cut Ubi? 61 is there for a link to Eunos where 63 doesn't ply.
