last SG · 2016-02-09T10:18:07+00:00

If you're here to encourage people to take the MRT above the public bus, I feel that you have come to the wrong forum. SGTrains was created for a reason.So i...

Didn't know 54 terminates at Marina Centre

Typo lar,56

Cannot eh. 857 is a route in which it is very heavily used especially on weekends when people are coming back to Yishun from Little India since it is the only 'northern' route there, unless if a new route is introduced to complement the route (might be shelved for now), but still it is also the only route going back to Yishun from Suntec City especially when there is a train breakdown. Once 857 is made to terminate there, the frequency would be higher and commuters would be irked because it is supposed to run at a constant frequency and more commuters are waiting for the service minute by minute. This goes the same to 859 before it was made as a loop service. When a bus arrives later at Yishun, the longer the frequency would be, not to mention the snaking queue.

Then why svc like 76 which is more shorter than 857 get shortened?

Which explains the necessity for a new interchange / terminal in the downtown area. Marina South ITH is in the plans, though I don't know when it will be ready.

The only thing is we dunno got enough lots or not for the replacement terminal

70M,107M,162M and 700A no need terminus as they terminate at Shenton Way during specific times.The Coach shouldnt park at the new Marina Ctr Ter in the first place.If every loop trunk need terminate point in order to enhance frequencies then might as well dont introduce loop service.36,857,966 i agree cause theyre too long but service like 15,55,135 & 155 simply doesnt need a terminus.They can compensate BCs by having more break times at the Interchanges.76 already a wasted resource and we dont want that to happen anymore.LTA also not too free to built more terminals just for the sake of it.The bus plannings is getting more crap than before.

The place where SBS parks, its was always meant to be a coach park, just that SBS got shifted in due to road conditions.

Maybe till 2019 until Marina South ITH is ready.

Priority should be given for 857 to layover at MS. 970 also can shift there, along with 120 and 122. NBR and SWT need some space freed up.

23 and 62 can be extended to MS. New variant 23A to ply current 23 route.

With120 and 122 out of NBR 36 should start from there.

Looks like they are going to skip Q2 after a disastrous Q1 BSEP rubbish improvements.

Suspect the next rollout phase will be in June. We might get a press release at the end of the month. There are still a significant number of services that haven't been rolled out. But judging by the number of new buses coming in, I suspect these will be mainly short routes requiring at most 8-10 buses.

carbikebus SG

68 is one of them,Maybe the rest wait for Sengkang,Punggol and Hougand expansion.Tampines also might get a couple of new service.I would love to see 513 operate full day just like 518.Runninh with 11 buses with 7 SDs and 4 DDs will be sufficient.

Beside those i think next wave will be cutting short long winding service like 14,51,61,67,154 or 961..

I think Service 61, besides I sent feedback that they need cutting. The resettling of residents in Commonwealth to Buangkok, Tanglin Halt, Bukit Batok West, Bedok South or Telok Blangah helps.

Hi mr TPS Timothy Mok, yes this service 61 needs some trimming back and also introduce another service to take up the route which was trimmed back. This end to end journey takes more than 2 hrs 10 min and is really too long in today's context. However, any amendment may incur huge uproars just like sbs 76/134. We shall wait for any news from you regarding the authorities answers. Cheers. Thanks.

All, latest round of BSEP for Q2 2016 is announced. Implementation date is 24 April 2016. Affected services are sbs 117 and sbs 386, both Punggol bus services.

1. Sbs 117 is amended to ply west camp road instead of seletar west link. This provides coverage to youth flying club and ST airport services.

2. Sbs 386 is extended further up to edgedale plains end, with the same type of loop at 2 bus stops (1 stop going to Punggol mrt, 1 stop to Punggol east). It will continue to loop at Punggol east/central (Blk 162B bus stop) and serve all other bus stops. This will benefit waterway view and sundew residents.

Cheers. Thanks.
