Hi mr pathlight, there is northeast MRT line. Cheers.Or Service 47: Joo Koon > Sengkang

AJQZC SG

To save travel time from morning crowd on every first day of reservist, some special trips are needed as a shuttle between less approachable and connected camps to MRT stations.
Likewise during outpro on the last day of reservist, to save outsiders from unable to board normal bus services due to sudden surge of NSmen during these days.

It'll be good if they can co-operate with public transport operators to provide special trips like Hong Kong's KMB 54R with the timetable of inpro & outpro.

"R" stands for Reservist Express aka non-stop in between routes.

1. R189 (Clementi MRT <> Clementi Camp)
2. R302 (Yew Tee MRT <> Kranji Camp I/II/III)
3. R975 (Choa Chu Kang MRT <> Sungei Gedong Camp)

https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zDOc6rCXrl9Y.kgWyf-VXFr9Y&usp=sharing

Use R185 (or rather 185R?) ... you could reserve R189 for Clementi Camp <> Bt Batok MRT.

Add R169 (Yishun / Khatib MRT <> Nee Soon Camp).

Hi mr TIB1234T, I doubt it is necessary. For most, the number of people disperse very fast within 30 min of out-pro time. It is mostly the first few trips of the bus services which get more people. After that, very fast back to normal. I see many taking taxi as they desire to go back to their normal lives fast. Thus I see no need to create special bus services for this. Cheers.

Thoughts?

TIB1234T SG

That is why it only operates at certain timing based on the inpro/outpro schedules. True enough people have cars/taxi/other mode of transport to fetch, but taking Gedong for example, it's due to poor connection that ended up NSmen has to wait for the normal 975 which takes up to 30 mins of waiting.

From LCK Rd End Terminal up to Gedong is almost 100% empty, but once the NSmen all crowd into the bus, it always ended up full. This leads to other people along to route to have to skip another 2 to 3 buses before they can board. Many Taxi drivers tend to skip Gedong due to waste of diesel which is why even calling for a cab can be irritating.

Usually, inpro/outpro is the whole battalion calling, with more than 150 people, about 3-4 buses can be utilised for these special trips...

Yah, better for R185 & R189...

Hi mr pathlight, they already cut short a similar service for sbs 97 last time many years back. What makes you think they will reintroduce such a service again? Cheers.

Sbs6750E SG

Really hope that 164 will be a Punggol – Bt Batok svc. Via Khatib Camp, Mandai, Bpj Ring Rd and Bt Gombak.
HGDEP 12A/P 3S 2E, BBDEP 7A/P 2S 1E, 27 buses, 15 DDs, 12 SDs.

- Direct service for Pasir Ris West and Tampines West to Suntec/Orchard

- Connects Pasir Ris Dr 1 (from Dr 12 to Ctrl) to Pasir Ris Int, and supplements those services that ply the whole stretch of Dr 1 (which are commonly used as feeder to Pasir Ris MRT, and many of which are already having super high loading)

- Direct services for Pasir Ris West students to Temasek Poly

- Serves Tampines Ave 9 (where a lot of new flats are coming up) and Ave 6 (which only has svc 72)

- Utilises Bartley Rd East and KPE

- Connects Ganges Ave and part of Alexandra Rd (where some new flats are under construction) to Orchard

- Connects Redhill Close to Redhill MRT and Bukit Merah Int

Rename Service 1 as Service 47

MoltenFalcon SG

Rename Service 1 as Service 47

For what? 47 for this service so chut pattern.

Svcs 2-10 all has at least 1 terminus at the east.

2: Changi Village
3: Tampines-Punggol
4: Tampines
5: Pasir Ris
6: Pasir Ris
7: Bedok
8: Tampines
9: Bedok
10: Tampines

If you put in 1 which in array88's suggestion starts from Pasir Ris it follows the pattern.

better for SAF to charter few buses to MRT lah or use 5 tonners... each unit have different outpro timing.. and the outpro timing alway vary (say 5 pm, can delay till 7-8pm).. so how to coordinate? most of the ppl are driving/car pool and not many take buses esp when u are carrying two bags...

for inpro, the units also alway inpro on different days.. so the bus companies need to standby buses just for the reservists? if 2 weeks only one inpro, the buses will be rotting inside the depots?

proudtobeme SG

i suggest 386 go all the way in to roundabout of edgedale plain to get better use. 85 go to hougang instead of punggol as there many serv like 119 136 50 82 83 bet sengkang and punggol town.

85 to go upper serangoon road then hg int. direct connect for hg and upp serangoon resident to yishun and jalan kayu not there today.

Hi mr proudtobeme, you want to take out sbs 85 from Punggol without even considering the increasing demand for services along the end of Punggol central. How can that be possible? Suka suka machiam take out without any new bus service for this part? This part of Punggol needs it much more than Hougang interchange. Cheers.

proudtobeme SG

i NOTICE u never give any good suggestion but only CRITICISE other peop suggestion. u do all time. no shame u have. punggol central can get downroute on 83M loop at edgedale plain. can u no think of such solution? for feeder purpose u deny my suggestion even if it serve better purpose for service 85.

lemon1974 SG

Route amendment for Sv145...

from TPY to buona vista.

turn right from lavender st to kallang road (lavender station), then turn left to Jalan sultan and then turn right to north bridge road and follow current route.

2 bus stops skipped but will allow those paxes from balestier to go to lavender MRT more easily...

no change in return direction..

dupdup77 SG

Hi mr proudtobeme, don't use such words on others. Check out your own first before you do that. During town planning, to go Sengkang east drive, one bus from Punggol drive (sbs 50), one bus from Punggol central (sbs 85), one bus from Punggol field (sbs 62). By one sentence from you, you anyhow take out one service (sbs 85) with no replacement. You still dare to call other names?

Sbs 83M, what a joke! Enough said. Come to monitor this area often and you tell me is 83M really necessary? What about the linkage to sengkang east, compassvale drive, rivervale drive from end of Punggol central/Punggol east? Totally destroyed by anyhow re-routing of poor suggestion by you. Cheers.

Hi mr proudtobeme, I think you should be the one who should be banned. People who anyhow use words and accuse people should be banned. Everybody comes to forums to complain and criticise but when criticizing, be rational and back your topics up with good reasons about bus. This is logical. Value-added or not is another issue. It depends on the ways how people look at it. But certainly when people use words like 'no shame you have' and tend towards ways of abusive behaviour or thoughts, then these people should be banned.
