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...

So Tampines now use 12x series ah?

Coming back, when Mr carbikebus mention tampines use 12x series, I think the 12x series quite spread over the island unlike some others like 25x (but strictly speaking New Bridge Road and St Micheals hold the most 12x buses haha)

CZT SG

127 looks interesting, but wonder why no coverage for other industrial area like ave 2 or 3

funny... so take 27/34 from tampines to TPE is faster than taking 969 (after amendment)?

Hi mr lemon1974, it is not funny. At TPE stop, most people purposely wait for 969 to go tampines directly. After the amendment, they may feel that they no need to wait anymore for 969 if 27/34 comes first. Now they still wait for 969 even though 27/34 comes. The speed factor of 969 is somewhat diminished and the added incentive may not be there anymore. Cheers. Thanks.

nothing to complain..the jam on TPE/SLE is more worst than the 3 new bus stops...

Hi mr lemon1974, you say nothing to complain. But once downtown line opens in end 2017, it can be anybody's guess. Let's wait and see lor. Cheers. Thanks.

Siao ah remove 969? I will complain the bus not enough space... No Rigids for 969 already... Need DDs or Bendies

lemon1974 SG

that is their choice.... 3 bus stops (for mostly alighting if any) for sv969, compare to 9 bus stops for sv27?...anyway also good, can relieve the load on sv969 since in your opinion, ppl will switch to 27/34 instead.

Hi mr lemon1974, no to remove 969. I expect significant human traffic around tampines concourse bus stops and 969 traffic is going to get even worse. Cheers. Thanks.

Hi mr lemon1974, I did not say remove 969 la. Don't anyhow push the question around since you are the one who thinks so! Cheers. Thanks.

dupdup77 SG

Hi mr lemon1974, all I say is the added incentive to wait for 969 is somehow diminished. Don't forget the frequency of service 27 is way much better than 969. Service 27 can bring you to tampines in fast speed as well if waiting time for service 969 is not favourable. Cheers. Thanks.

this is your earlier reply.... you are the one who say ppl in the north will complain after 969 amendment and AFTER DTL3 open.. so why are you saying ppl in the north will complain after DTL3 open? you have not answer this?

Hi mr lemon1974, I am welcome to the idea of 969 having 3 more stops as I have 27, 34, 969 at TPE bus stop. However I cannot say the same for those staying in woodlands and yishun. I did not complain. I am just worried people staying further up north may complain. Cheers. Thanks.

Hi mr lemon1974, I already replied at 3.41pm before you asked 2nd time. This shows that you never read carefully and only cared to keep shooting. Cheers. Thanks.

I wont really complain even if 969 would be the only bus left...the only thing I worry is of how many buses I must wait next time at the int. at night then

you reply only "no to remove969", but u never reply on why ppl in the north will complain when DTL3 open...

I think he is saying that once DTL3 open, more people would conquer 969, but that dosent make much sense since there are still lots of connections around

Hi mr lemon1974, the reason is also in the 3.41pm message. It is 'I expect significant human traffic around tampines concourse bus stops and 969 traffic is going to get even worse.' This implies human traffic flow for smrt 969 is expected to worsen. Thus queueing time and journey time will be lengthened. Once lengthened, people will complain. Take note in the past, without TPE stop, it is much faster. Cheers. Thanks.

18: Good question. It may be future proofed for extending to Tampines North in the near future.

39: Good question. Loading.

lemon1974 SG

DTL3 does not mean that there will be more traffic for 969.. you are assuming only...basically the ppl taking DTL3 are either currently taking buses or EWL...how many of those driving cars will switch to DTL3?

why you are still talking in the past? in the past, it might be much faster, but it is higher chance that u cant board 969 (when there is lot of rigids) and there are alway jam at SLE/TPE (before the widening) .so u might have to wait a few buses... now 969 is almost full fleet DDs... and after the widening of TPE/SLE area , there are less jam and travelling time is much faster..
