I would prefer the route to be like this for Svc 72M:

Via
Airport Boulevard, PIE/TPE, Loyang Ave, Pasir Ris Dr 1, Pasir Ris Dr 12, TPE/KPE, Tampines Rd, Hougang Ave 1, Lor Ah Soo, Upp Paya Lebar Rd, Boundary Rd, Serangoon Ctrl, back route to Changi Airport

Controlled by AMDEP (Additional fleet of 8 buses from current fleet)
Increase frequency (Subject to traffic congestion)

I believe he did not intend for pax to use that route all the way from Ang Mo Kio to Punggol - it's more for connection to Seletar North Link.

Though I do feel that making that service go all the way to Ang Mo Kio may not be a good choice.

I connect it to Ang Mo Kio is so that people from other parts of Singapore can take train to Ang Mo Kio station and transfer to this service to get to Seletar Aerospace and the Seletar North Link la, so that they do not have to take train all the way to Punggol to take this service. It takes around 1.5 hours to travel between Jurong West and Punggol. If we can take this bus service from somewhere else that is nearer, it would be better. That's why I connect it to Ang Mo Kio.

Actually, come to think about it, I think connect it to Bishan would be better. Bishan more centralised than Ang Mo Kio, in terms of transport connection to the Western part of Singapore.

I know majority of Singapreans stay in the East, but please do not neglect the Singaporeans staying in the West leh... many of us were once East siders, who move over to the new flats in the West when they were built, after we get married and set up new family, etcetera.... we are also Singaporeans, just like you all East siders. Please do not forget about us. :(

Regarding some of the new services proposed, I created 5 new routes which I would explain time after time. Part 1/5

102 would be renumbered as 102G/102W in which both services separate from Sengkang. 102G would serve Jalan Kayu first while 102W would serve Seletar North Link first via Seletar Link and TPE. Here is how 102W works like 102G from the other way: Sengkang East Rd>TPE>Seletar Link>Seletar North Link>Seletar West Link>West Camp Rd>Seletar Aerospace Dr>Jalan Kayu>following the normal 102 route towards Hougang

Dont worry...I have 5 routes for those residents living in the west...great ones :)

Hi mr SMB1368T, G and W are actually meant for feeders or intratown services to fetch residents fast to MRT/bus interchange without affecting specific groups of residents. I doubt it is useful for your case for sbs 102G/W. 102 is good enough. Cheers. Thanks.

SMB1368T SG

Hi, thanks for the info. By the way, SBST said that 102 would enter Seletar when time and development of the area allows. Not sure if it would enter Seletar North Link, but I am leaving that to the company

165

Clementi - Sengkang

carbikebus SG

110 might be for future Marina service along with 111 which i think will start from Marina and loop at Ghim Moh instead.

Sbs6750E SG

165

Clementi - Sengkang

no need 165. Got 50/86/88/136/159 all go AMK from different parts of Sengkang. Also have 163 to Upp Thomson. 110? No need.

It's just not serving the AMK residents,
SK West could benefit by having direct link to Upper Thomson, Holland V, Clementi
Another thing is to reduce that long stretch duplication with 132 cutting off after AMK.

Why not 110?
Sengkang West, PP, Bidadari residents could benefit to have direct link inside Serangoon Gdns. Not always MRT will solve the problem.

Sbs6750E SG

Sengkang West, PP, Bidadari residents could benefit to have direct link inside Serangoon Gdns. Not always MRT will solve the problem.

walao eh! You think ppl would like to take 165 from Skg to Cle/Hv? And why go Holland V when there is Upp Thomson?, quite identical. Sengkang ppl would prefer CBD 972 style bus svcs.

164

Sengkang - Shenton Way

Hi mr SBS9252G, this time round I think I need to agree with sbs6750E. Sengkang west has direct link to upper Thomson in the form of sbs 163. As for holland village and Clementi, it is best left to the circle line mrt albeit through a transfer at serangoon mrt. Long routes are best for mrt. If need be, can always transfer to sbs 156 either at yio Chu Kang road/Buangkok green or sengkang east way/sengkang east rd.

Of course, I see a need for better connection for sengkang west residents. A link to st michaels or balestier or whampoa or orchard area will be much more welcome.

As for sbs 110 which you propose, it could be interesting but it should route through sengkang west to capture more demand since the HDB flats are increasing. It should not go Punggol road-Hougang ave 10, 8, 2 which has many bus services already. Comments are welcome. Cheers. Thanks.

dupdup77 SG

118

Sengkang - Shenton Way

Hi mr sbs9252G, sbs 118 is from Punggol to changi business park. Number is in use already. Cheers. Thanks.

SBS9252G SG

walao eh! You think ppl would like to take 165 from Skg to Cle/Hv? And why go Holland V when there is Upp Thomson?, quite identical. Sengkang ppl would prefer CBD 972 style bus svcs.

Of course i won't think people will take full ride BUT it's good to have a direct service than transfering many times i suppose.

How do you know SK people would prefer 972 style bus svc?

Hi mr SBS9252G, there is sbs 156 from sengkang to Clementi already. The journey is far too long as of present.

Mr sbs6750E is a sengkang resident. He knows the sentiments there. Even I also preferred 972 style bus service which uses a segment of expressway in between two different areas to help speed up journey. Cheers. Thanks.

I think i have made a suggestion earlier on to TTSH area. Just have to find it.

Err...

Because there's only ONE MRT line there? And it's fking packed all the time?

And all the buses that goes to west/city there are practically useless in long distance travel?

I really dont know...?

Proof: I was a resident there.
