I pity those waiting for 811 everytime towards St 81 de... Sometimes I lazy to walk then I take 811 back from St 81 to Ring Rd... So long.. Some times bunching then the next bus is like 20 mins later...

19 buses as stated in sgwiki also have terrible frequencies eh?

AJQZC SG

Possible amendment to service 256:

Skipped bus stops along Pioneer Rd North are still served by 193 and 251.

19 buses as stated in sgwiki also have terrible frequencies eh?

I waited for 811 sometimes quite long... After the bunching of 3 - 4 buses in the morning, the next bus of 811 is like at the opposite side of my bus stop.

I am taking the bus at Blk 858 bus stop. Usually there is bunching, and then a A24 or A22 just streaming by on the other side.

Can also...

but need not stop at SST & SP SMA or even those stops along Wdl Av3. Main idea is to cut short, allow another alternative for residents in North transferring to CCL or school.

Thus, I just focus more of the MRT station stops, Blk154 & Opp Blk 352 are mainly for passengers to transfer easily(to Clementi especially). In future, Blk154 can amend to Yishun MRT.

Because I feel it is too short for a service. As such, calling at the bus stop along Woodlands Ave 3 will allow students or staff who are staying around that vicinity to take this bus without need to transfer to another bus.

But I am agreeing with not stopping at SST and SP SMA bus stops because I foresee not many also alighting and boarding happening at these two bus stop.

Although it's short, the time taken is also an important factor hahas..if it stops at every stop, the demand might not be there. Ppl rather take MRT.

Possible amendment to service 256:

Skipped bus stops along Pioneer Rd North are still served by 193 and 251.

Although it's good to have a service for Kian Teck, do take note that 256 is now the only service for those workers in Soon Lee Dormitory to Joo Koon Int (if not counting 193 at Benoi Rd). And it also provides them connection to Pioneer / Boon Lay MRT. If we remove 256, all workers over there will need to rely on 193 to Benoi Rd and transfer to their workplaces; they will also have no service to Pioneer MRT, and only 2 services to Boon Lay MRT with rather poor frequency.

Nevertheless, we can have a new feeder-like service in Jurong West starting from Soon Lee Bus Park, thus also serving the dorm there. Then it may be ok to amend 256 to Kian Teck.

You're missing the point here - the new Yew Tee service is supposed to ferry residents to and from Bt Panjang MRT Stn, or other stations on DTL2. Thus the most efficient routing is either via KJE or Stagmont Ring / Woodlands Rd.

Though your route certainly provides links out of CCK town, it is unlikely to be introduced in the near future. The section south of CCK is also tracing too closely to 188.

Overall ... I feel that this service has better potential elsewhere. According to rumours, there is high chance for an extension to Bt Panjang and Petir after DTL2 opening, which would greatly benefit CCK Ave 5 residents.

Though your route certainly provides links out of CCK town, it is unlikely to be introduced in the near future. The section south of CCK is also tracing too closely to 188.

I heard of that rumour though. If that happens, i think it will run from Yew Tee to CCK Ave 5 then BPJ integrated hub.

SMB145B SG

Would an extension of 920/922 be better to link Yew Tee and Bukit Panjang be sufficient? Two SWTs could be created, one which is currently 920/922; the other being the Yew Tee feeder.

AJQZC SG

No! If that were the case, Yew Tee residents would have to travel through all of CCK and compete with Ave 5 residents for the DTL. Not acceptable.

For the shuttle to be efficient, it MUST NOT pass through CCK central. That leaves KJE / Stagmont Ring --> Woodlands Rd. Thus you need a standalone service from Bt Panjang Bus Park, or an extended one from Bt Batok.

Doubt so. 920 and 922 are needed to ferry residents from Bt Panjang interior to the MRT at high frequencies during peak hours.

Also the location of both BPJ Bus Park and the MRT stop renders such a combination unsuitable, because there would be no clear end point on either side (both are loop services) and it would be inefficient to make the return trip to the bus park.

I have to be honest with you, MRT is still faster. 502 remains as where it is. 503, no demand.

Let me tell you. 502 may have to divert to Prinsep Street, Selegie Road, Serangoon Road, Upper Serangoon Road, Boundary Road, Yio Chu Kang Link, Yio Chu Kang Road, Sengkang West Road, Sengkang West Avenue, Jalan Kayu, Sengkang West Way, Sengkang East Way, Sengkang East Road and Sengkang Square as if to ease the heavy demand from Service 147 (From Prinsep Street to Upper Serangoon Road). The loading of Service 503 (When introduced will be 80% as mine. The 20% are route changes

SBS9252G SG

I don't think there's plans to divert 502 once again. I don't think there's a need to introduce such services again in future.
