Anyway ... another suggestion for DTL2.
Break-up and extension: to optimize the use of poorly utilized
173.
Service 173: Clementi Int to Petir Rd
(Loop)
To terminate at Bt Panjang when ITH is completed.
Service 987: Bt Batok Int to Yew Tee
(Loop)
To cover lost sections of 173, and provide Yew Tee residents a
link to Bt Panjang / DTL without having to pass through CCK
central.
Unfortunately it seems a right turn from UBT Rd to Hume Ave is
not possible ... so may need to cover this section with a 178
reroute to link Hume Ave - Bt Batok, if necessary.
Most former 173 links are well covered: Hillview - Clementi by
963, Hillview - Beauty World by 970, Bt Batok - UBT Rd (Rail Mall)
by 178, and so on. Separating this service allow the two sections
to be more direct and more useful services (as compared to the
current loopback that the 173
route exhibits).
Hillview would be served by six trunks: 173, 176, 177 (or 171,
if my suggestion above is approved), 963, 970, 987.
