So far LTA has introduced about
40 Trunk/Express (including 68) and 22 CDS routes (including two
more upcoming ones in Q3).
Trunk/Express:4,20,41,46,47,50,68,102,116,117,118,120,121,122,134,140,141,150,201,
258,301,308,324,371,382G/W,386,513,803,805,850E,860,951E,982E,972,979,983,990
CDS: 651-670, +2 new services
So there are still about 18 more
services LTA has yet to introduce to fulfill its promise of 80 new
bus routes by end of 2017. I don't know how DTL rationalisation is
going to factor in, if the 80 new services will also include new
routes born out of chopping up bus routes during the excercise. Or
LTA might only start rationalising bus services in late 2017 or
early 2018 once DTL3 has settled in. So, assuming it's the latter,
this is my prediction.
CDS has been maxed out. LTA said
in its previous press statements that they'll introduce about 20
such services. They've exceeded that already. You might see one or
two more services in 1H2017. So, I'm assuming about 12-16 new
routes until end 2017. These are just some of my
predictions/musings.
137 - Sims Pl > Ubi
152 - Brother of 150, will start
from Eunos and probably loop at Kaki Bukit Industrial Estate
44 - UEC > Bedok North >
Chai Chee
37x - New Fernvale feeder
110 - UEC > CBP > Pasir
Ris
104 & 114 - New Sengkang
services
164 - New AMK service (I suspect
AMK>AMK St 22/23 BTO> Upp Thomson > looping at Bishan).
LTA will have to build a traffic junction at St 22/Av 1
71/97x - BPJ > NTU > Joo
Koon
807 - New Yishun feeder
146/148/149 - New Whampoa service
plying Jln Rajah and possibly looping at Potong Pasir
I would think that svc 1 is either for Changi V or Tampines
North.Svc 44 might be for Punggol or Changi Business Park.Svc 71
might be for Tampines or YCK or even Buona Vista depending on the
bus package.104 & 108 might be for Buangkok Int of Hougang
Int.110 might be for Marina svc or even Sengkang.114 most probably
Hougang.137 might be Punggol or Eunos.144 might be Jurong
East.146,148,149 for Woodleigh and 152 might be for Eunos should
154 face the fate like 76.
