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

SBS 9256 X SG

74's Marymount is rather unidirectional...

Svc 74's Marymount stop is only for towards AMK/Hougang Central... It will nt stop opposite the station towards Buona Vista

Service 184C: Bt Panjang - one-North MRT station (loop)

A variant of the service to enhance links to NP, SP and NUS-Utown. Allows for convenient transfers at Beauty World and one-north MRT stations. (The above mentioned places already have good links to EWL.)

Service 184C: Bt Panjang - one-North MRT station (loop)

Hi mr AJQZC, I think not very necessary to create another splinter of smrt 184. Route can be covered by current bus services and also managed by existing transfers to other services as well as circle line. Major duplication with smrt 75 as well except for the ending part. Cheers. Thanks.

AJQZC SG

In any case, I'd say it would still be helpful to divert either 75 or 184 to Beauty World Plaza for the link to Beauty World MRT (even if there's already 74/151 at KAP MRT). Also your point about duplication with 75 is invalid, as Cashew - Clementi Rd has always had 75 doubling 184, and this is not the fault in my suggestion. Cheers.

dupdup77 SG

Hi mr AJQZC, I have erroneously brought upon the point of smrt 75 which has no bearing on your part of the suggestion. Cheers. Thanks.

My proposed Route 121 extension to Eunos.

SBS9252G SG

Buona Vista - Clementi MRT

AJQZC SG

991

BB - BPJ has 187, and BPJ - Mandai has 171. This section is unlikely to receive additional demand.

Disregarding Mandai, long-distance travellers (Sengkang - BPJ / BB) usually commute by MRT, which is faster and more reliable.

Consider adding more stops along your way to benefit those living there (esp. at Springleaf and Tagore). Or else make the route peak-hour and premium.

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

Alternate suggestion to the above. Stagger stops at Bt Panjang MRT.

SMRT Service 180: Extension to Yew Tee

Repost -- in consideration of the observed below-average loading 180 has around Bt Panjang.

There's no way you can say 180 has low loading at Bukit Panjang. Just one week ago I was on 180 bendy from Bt Panjang Rd towards Boon Lay during AM peak. Despite it's during ITE holidays, bus already had no seats before the Bt Panjang Rd main stop and at least 30-40 pax boarded. BC already had to tell passengers to move in before hitting Bt Batok Rd.

A lot of pax alighted once reaching Jurong Town Hall Rd. Bus was almost empty once it hits Chinese Garden, although still have 1/3 of seats filled with passengers towards Boon Lay.

I believe the purpose of suggested 991 is more for direct link between Bukit Panjang and Sengkang, and hence duplication with 187 and 171 doesn't really matter. Plus Mandai Rd do not have that much demand itself.

Bukit Panjang to Sengkang may still be faster than MRT (even with DTL2 in place), to some extent. Especially for Sengkang West.

My friend, you should know that if SMRT is deploying full fleet bendy on 180, then it should have super high bendy worthy loading. Otherwise just like it downgrades other services, 180 would also be one of them.

Hi mr AJQZC, for new bus service, I can safely say no in terms of faster than NEL. They will definitely need to make that service go certain parts of a few towns to capture some share of the residents before embarking on expressway and also go a few towns before reaching destination. Normally it takes an equivalent timing close to taking mrt. They will never give you direct from 1 estate express all the way to just another estate unless that bus service is express which means paying premium. By saying this, they may as well not provide this kind of bus service for normal fare service. Cheers. Thanks.

@array88: well, we do have some opinions against that. I guess it all depends on the places this route actually serve in between the two towns.

AJQZC SG

Anyway: (this is my 500th post already, yikes. )

Suggested new weekday peak-hour service 978 (after BPJ ITH opens)

BusAnalayzer SG

There should be new service introduced between Bukit Panjang and Sungei Kadut industrial estate.

SBS 9256 X SG

Switch Svc 190 & Svc 972 terminating point:
Svc 190 will loop at Bencoolent Street while Svc 972 will terminate at New Bridge Road Terminal

Svc 300 should be a townlink service extending out to Bukit Panjang MRT. Route as follows:

Choa Chu Kang Interchange, Choa Chu Kang Ave 4/Ave 3/Ave 1/Ave 2, Choa Chu Kang Way/Rd, Upp Bukit Timah Road, Petir Rd, Jelebu Rd, Bukit Panjang Rd, Choa Chu Kang Rd/Way, Choa Chu Kang Ave 3/Ave 4

AJQZC SG

There should be new service introduced between Bukit Panjang and Sungei Kadut industrial estate.

By "should", do you mean, there is already such a service in planning, or there ought to be one?

If there is a service in planning already, please give details.

If there ought to be such a service (i.e. to cater to the demand or whatnot), please comment on my suggestion.

Thanks

No I think there should be.

I think SBST should allow Svc 405 to run full day as Svc 975 is quite congested during Sundays night where NS boys booking into camp...

Svc 405
Boon Lay Interchange - Sungei Gedong Camp (Loop)
Via
Jurong West Ctrl 3, Jln Boon Lay, Jalan Bahar, Lim Chu Kang Rd, Old Lim Chu Kang Rd, Lor Rusuk, Lim Chu Kang Rd, Sungei Gedong Rd, Lim Chu Kang Rd, Jalan Bahar, Jln Boon Lay, Jurong West Ctrl 2/Ctrl 3

Svc 405M
Boon Lay Interchange - Old Choa Chu Kang/Lim Chu Kang Rd (Loop)
Via
Jurong West Ctrl 3, Jln Boon Lay, Jalan Bahar, Old Choa Chu Kang Rd, Lim Chu Kang Rd, Sungei Gedong Rd, Lim Chu Kang Rd, Lor Rusuk, Old Lim Chu Kang Rd, Lim Chu Kang Rd, Jln Bahar, Jln Boon Lay, Boon Lay Way/Jurong West Ctrl 2/Ctrl 3

- Allowing Visitors to have accessibility to the cemetery besides depending on 172/975.

- Ease the loading of 975 at Choa Chu Kang MRT during booking in on Sundays and booking out on either Fridays or Saturdays.

Concurrenty, both services will be in operational. Svc 405M will end its service at 6pm whereas Svc 405 will continue operating until 11pm.
