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

Let's consider some key points on the 171 route.

- C-G directly follows DTL2, and has the most duplications. C-F follows 67 & 170, while G-I follows 700. However, C-B-F-H is more effectively served by 190, 700 and 972. Also, A-E-D is back-uped by 852.

- Most of the demand is between A-C/D. Some demand for D/E-H; depending on the Newton MRT transit area, this may or may not be transferred over to DTL.

===================================================

Consider the transport links without 171 (A-C is only served by 171, and must remain):

Thus, if rationalisation is desireable, a suitable cutting point would be near D or E, with additional links for E-B and E-H/I.

Bad suggestion. Path Light's suggestion for Service 171 is better

actually, my concern is about a particular secondary school in Bukit Gombak that is going to be rebuilt and their holding school is all the way in Jurong West. I know there's 187 at the north-west part of Bukit Gombak and 180 at the western fringe, but how about the southern part of Bukit Gombak, where 174 and 157 are not really accessible? That's why I suggested this bus service. Although this seems short-term, the long-term benefit is the bus connection to reputable schools, such as River Valley High School and Fuhua Secondary School. And also the bus connection to Jurong Point, which is like quite an extraordinary shopping centre. And Jurong Central Park, where once and while there are events. SAFRA Jurong is like the only SAFRA clubhouse in the West. While 187 already provides the connection, this bus service is shorter and faster. It's really going to enhance the bus connectivity in Bukit Gombak.

While southern Gombak does need more services, the pressing demand is for links to main roads outside Bt Batok, as well as DTL2. For other places, a transfer at Bt Batok central to Jurong West is still relatively convenient. Dunearn Sec already has 180 and 187 to Jurong West.

Also, your idea of necessiting this link from Bt Gombak to "reputable schools" doesn't quite make sense... the named schools are quite close to the MRT stations.

My final suggestion of bus service.

For the people staying in Bukit Gombak and Jurong.

The future of Bukit Gombak will find this bus service useful because it connects them to many secondary schools in Jurong. :)

Actually I think it's enough to extend 990 to Bukit Panjang via your suggested route in Bukit Gombak. This way more residents in Bukit Gombak and Bukit Panjang are connected to IMM and Jurong East, yet they can still transfer along the way to Jurong West.

AJQZC SG

Extending 990 north is actually quite a good idea, making use of an existing service to enhance the links around Gombak.

My suggestion:

proudtobeme SG

good idee. 990 bus has capacity to accomodate more peop. extending help relieve load on 188 also. i took few month back 990 many time. saw bus got 20-35 peop. now load may hav improved.

Careful. You need to preserve the link to BPJ MRT station.

Hmmm... I see.. Hmm.. This is one route that is hard to change...

BusAnalayzer SG

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You don't need to change route between Yishun and BPJ as that's where it is unique... from Upp Bukit Timah onwards you get alternatives.

171 at best can change from Beauty World onwards, as you still may want to maintain direct link b/w Upp Bukit Timah and BPJ town. No other service except 963 from Hillview onwards.

Another way is 171 terminates or loops at Petir/BPJ ring road and 41 gets extended to loop at Petir/BPJ ring road as well... this way 41 can be made more useful and cover for missing link of 171 between Upper Bukit Timah and BPJ town.

Instead of just introducing another service to ply this road again (unless demand necessitates it), you could actually consider improving existing links between Jurong East and Bt Panjang, especially 160 and 178.

A while ago someone suggested splitting 178 up to manage it more efficiently. I thought having separate sections of 178 (Boon Lay - BBDEP) and 968 (Woodlands - Jurong East / Clementi) would be a good idea.

On 160, consider adding a variant that plys Bt Batok Rd to hasten the journey, seeing as 160 has terrible frequency. Such as this one:

Service 150: Jurong East Int - Dairy Farm Rd (Loop)

Alternatively, you can always fall back on a 160M looping at BPJ MRT, or an extended 990 to Bt Panjang (as per suggestions above).

SBS9252G SG

Actually i feel that 67 may be diverted to ply Panjang but i think 67 may not be touched?
