Extension of 119: Punggol Int -- Shenton Way Term

Could be redirected to serve Marina South when the ITH is ready.

KPE(MCE) exit directly to Nicoll Highway. and vice versa

from Hougang Avenue 3 to MCE is just

Hougang Avenue 3
Airport Road (Express)

from KPE

KPE (Express)

82: It will not be extending to Shenton Way. Main reason: By right no one from Punggol or Sengkang will ever take the bus if there is a MRT nearby. The route was cut short because it only cater to Punggol Road End and the explosive demand of Punggol allows the route to be shortened.

but you can try 119?

Soon they will build an office building at Punggol to allow commercial activity to be held there at the air-conditioned bus interchange. There is a hotel nearby?

Yes, there is a 69 hotel nearby.

Service 194 extension

Boon Lay - Choa Chu Kang (loop)

Jurong West Central 3
Jalan Boon Lay (express)
Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim
Pioneer Road
Pioneer Road North
PIE (express)
KJE (express)
Choa Chu Kang Way
Choa Chu Kang Ave 4
Choa Chu Kang Drive
KJE (express)
PIE (express)
Pioneer Road North
Pioneer Road
Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim
Jalan Boon Lay (express)
Jurong West Central 3

Reasons:

- To provide fast access for CCK residents and NSL commuters travelling to NTU, Jurong West and Jurong Industrial Estate, bypassing the human-choked and traffic-choked Boon Lay Interchange
- To provide direct access for Jurong West residents and workers in Jurong travelling to CCK (where they can connect to NSL, BP LRT, or bus 190 towards the city)
- To relieve traffic along PIE/KJE during peak hours (Currently there's no bus service plying PIE/KJE between CCK and Jurong, resulting in heavy car traffic at peak hours)
- To relieve traffic along Pioneer Road North (southbound during AM peak hour, northbound during PM peak hour)
- To relieve burden along EWL between Jurong East and Boon Lay/Pioneer, and along NSL between Jurong East and CCK
- To provide fast access for tourists travelling between Jurong Bird Park and Singapore Zoo / Night Safari via a change at CCK

If LTA or SBST likes to maximise catchment, it can even extend the route to Bukit Panjang via Teck Whye Avenue so that Jurong West residents and Jurong workers can have a direct access to Downtown Line (which is seldom crowded while the EWL is packed to the brim), and residents living in Bukit Panjang and Teck Whye can have a direct access to Jurong West.

While a direct service from CCK to Pioneer Rd / Jurong Industrial Estate is indeed necessary (considering the huge number of workers using NSL-EWL to Jurong), I don't think this will happen on 194....

Another issue is, now that most JIS are shortened to Joo Koon, most people will still need to transfer to MRT (at Pioneer) / other services even with your suggested 194.

Even amending 256 to CCK (skipping Jurong West) may be a better and more possible option IMO.

The problem is if they made 403 feeder they will have to add many buses to make the "feeder" frequency requirement.

Just like 354 got 2 fleet add just to meet the frequency requirement even if loading does not warrant it.

For 354 I believe there are new flats along Jln Loyang Besar.

For 354 I believe there are new flats along Jln Loyang Besar.

Its condos la..354 split shift trips have been reduced last month..Even at peak hours,You can see 1-2 buses empty or quarter full only.

403 was once a Parks service along with 400, 401 & 402, but all of them were converted about 10 years ago

It was in March 2009 where 400, 401 and 403 were declassified. And 402 was never Parks service in the first place.

I simply do not prefer 256 to ply Choa Chu Kang (bearing in mind it is half a JIS). For 194, I feel that it could have plied more places rather than simply the short one in Choa Chu Kang.

Extension of 119: Punggol Int -- Shenton Way Term

Using Nicoll Highway instead of Kallang Rd / Victoria St as a faster route to CBD. Could be redirected to serve Marina South when the ITH is ready.

Update: Edited as per SMB145B's comments below.

I was wondering if it can use MCE instead.

AJQZC SG

I was wondering if it can use MCE instead.

Using MCE would somewhat defeat the purpose of the service serving the CBD and then terminating at Shenton Way / Marina South ITH though, important areas in the city region would be skipped.

Anyway, am surprised that this thread actually lasted a year.

Do continue at http://sgforums.com/forums/1279/topics/492254 instead.
