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...

@TIB 585L @hgdep103 eh, you all serious about the possible express bus between Jurong West and Sengkang, or kidding only? Got demand meh?

TIB 585L SG

ya.

gekpohboy SG

Actually, I got a dream before that there may be a new express bus between BL and SK, but that service is only a trial, with limited trips.

If it goes through City, then maybe. If not expect a full SD fleet for express bus.

But what's really needed is a bus service from Punggol to City. As of now, there is no such direct bus service, the nearest you can get is 62.

62 can be easily extended to MCT via Republic Ave.

Hi mr sbs6750E, service 62 should just stop at geylang lor 1 terminal or remain where it is now. No more extension to it. It is quite a lengthy route and you will not like the journey and its frequent stopping at its current route now. I have taken service 62 many times and the trips are very lethargic if you travel from Punggol beyond Hougang. If there is a need for a service to city, let the route go through some expressway as Punggol and sengkang are far off from town area. Cheers. Thanks.

SKG got 3 new svc.

Hi mr tib585L, good for sengkang residents for service 500. Express some more! Sengkang interchange expansion is catered for such new services. Not for the purpose of shifting of existing services. Means sengkang interchange extension will be opening end nov to December period. Cheers. Thanks.

dupdup77 SG

100 cheers for Sengkang!

Hi mr sbs6750E, hooray. Most likely will go through sengkang west (anchorvale and fernvale side I guess). Cheers. Thanks.

CZT SG

Service 137 would be launched in Nov/Dec

Wah if 137 frm sims place, that roadside ter is gonna be busy haha

hgdep103 SG

Hi mr sbs6750E, hooray. Most likely will go through sengkang west (anchorvale and fernvale side I guess). Cheers. Thanks.

i believe the sengkang sector would be closely similar to 163 to increase catchment in sengkang instead of going to the newer flats that are not fully occupied. More likely a short trunk would be in place to cater for that sector

dupdup77 SG

Hi mr hgdep103, even 163 route (in sengkang portion) is also very close to many new flats on the other side. Some nearby buangkok MRT plus some along sengkang east avenue. Service 500 will bring a lot of cheers to the residents in northeast especially sengkang. Just like rolling good times back to service 502 in its heydays. Cheers. Thanks.

dupdup77 SG

Wah if 137 frm sims place, that roadside ter is gonna be busy haha

Hi mr CZT, yes will be busy by the roadside. That area is quite deserted compared to other estates. Maybe that is a reason why another bus service from that area will not be much of a problem especially the route to Ubi is frankly very near. Cheers. Thanks.

hgdep103 SG

there are 7 lots ar sims pl, 2 for 64, 2 for 134 and 2 for 137 and 1 spare to facilitate meals

Hi mr hgdep103, besides 137 and 500, what other service is there since you say that there are 2 feeders and 1 trunk? 883 is termed a trunk when introduced. Not feeder. Cheers. Thanks.

i wasnt the one who said there would be 2 feeders and a trunk

SMB31X SG

SKG got 3 new svc.

From BL to SK.. Hmm considering I live a distance away near JP the most likely route would be the 157/198 way after that PIE/CTE/MCE/KPE then to HG then SKG.

But Boon Lay seems short of berth though, so where are they going to find the space?

Hi mr SMB31X, adding a space in a berth is not difficult. They can always erect a boarding area for a berth anytime. To squeeze in 1 more bus service is easy. Cheers. Thanks.

at most use 174e lot... then 174/174e share 1

SMB1368T SG

You mean like how 30 & 30e can merge and add 1 new loop service inside Bedok?

Sbs6750E SG

Hope sv 500 can serve either CBD or JE/IBP leh, to boost demand.
