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...

TPS Timothy Mok SG

More bus services should be launching in Tengah starting from 2019. Plus route extensions from various terminals.

Nope. Flat sales start in 2018 so they will only be completed in 2022-23. New bus routes and interchange likely start from then.

Which bus operator do you think will get Tengah?

I have a feeling it will be Bulim, when TT contract expires in 2021.

Then Bukit Batok will be out of Bulim.

Bulim Depot is very near to Tengah. Most likely Bulim will take Tengah and give away Bukit Batok or Jurong East to Clementi package.

I think Jurong East and the 4 CLE routes will get transferred to Clementi contract, based out of Ulu Pandan. 174 can go over to Bulim or Jurong West since it doesn't pass anywhere near Clementi or Queenstown area.

if LTA can have some semi express service run along the MRT lines during peck hours will be better for everyone. and LTA should put more DD buses on those service which heavy used.

Bus route 174 will eventually serve Tengah, when Jurong Road is replaced.

I'm expecting up to eleven new bus routes at Tengah, considering Tengah will eventually have 42,000 units of residential apartments.

Tengah's new bus routes are in the Bulim BCM package.

The future Tengah bus interchange should be around the same size as Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange.

I sincerely hope that the Jurong Region Line stations interval is at least 1km... anyway, the concept drawings of JID and Tengah seem to suggest that the NTU branch connects to Tengah only.

(if two different concept drawings say the same thing, most likely it's true.)

I guess Jurong Region Line essentially comprises of one main line from CCK to JE, one line from Tengah to NTU and one line from Tengah to Boon Lay and Jurong Hill.

The Boon Lay line is probably underground and could potentially become the so-called "Holland Line"...

but seriously, if the NTU line is essentially a branch line, there's no need to squeeze along Jurong West Street 75 and 82. Can just glide along Jalan Bahar, where there's much more space there.

I have a feeling that the reason why Pioneer Sec will close is actually because of this Jurong Region Line... wonder what's the merged name. Joo Koon is a possibility, since the two schools are Boon Lay and Pioneer. lol.

883 is going to enter Wellington to complement 882 (I heard)

Meaning that it would go straight after Montreal Link. Very interesting

(which seem to gel well with the CRL report on alternative routing. secondly, why need another line to the city when we can have that potential "holland line" run to Woodlands and connect with that other spur line of CRL, to form a line that runs direct from Jurong to Punggol? ;))

but seriously, if the NTU line is essentially a branch line, there's no need to squeeze along Jurong West Street 75 and 82. Can just glide along Jalan Bahar, where there's much more space there.

and hor, I'm kinda expecting the depot at Bulim Avenue to be similar to the NEL depot at Sengkang, except this one also have bus depot; train depots at B1 and L2, bus depot at L1.

Well, just saying here. Cuz I tio banned at SSC, and I no intention to re-join SSC. the whole place looks like a one-man show (one person behind multiple usernames). I dun like. sorry.

2022-2023... do you really want to discuss Tengah now?? In 2016? Really??

It's a good move. It also connects to the shopping mart for Canberra residents + providing alternative to not-so-good frequency 882.
