The future of trunk buses with more MRT lines

I feel that in the past, when bus interchanges, terminals and depots are constructed, the authorities either did not set aside spare parking lots to reserve...

Revived, again.

Routes impacted along DTL2 (2015): 66, 67, 171, 700, (possibly) 961; 170 set to be preserved

Routes of contention along EWL-Tuas (2016): 182, 193, 254

Routes of contention along DTL3 (2017): (a little) 61, 65, 66

I would add 960 as well.

254 won't be impacted at all as along the route it does not meet the EWL Extension. 192/193 will meet at certain points and will act as short feeders as Tuas is a huge area

+ 182 is there that does not cover a huge chunk of new Tuas south extension. There maybe a need for service there.

problem is that it is difficult to make certain services express along bukit timah road as there are still paxes boarding/alighting at each bus stop..

so which service can skip bukit timah road?

the MRT there does not even go to clementi/bukit batok...

I dont think it is fair to make buses stay in BTR just becoz a few pax boards it. As I could see most 66, 67 and 171 are running almost empty ever since DTL2 was a thing.

I think these deserve a skip from the adverse conditions of BTR. In fact we are doing the majority at other sectors a justice with faster arrival and noticeably more reliable headways.

I mean, KMB svc 40 had pax in Shum Shui Po too. But the move to make it express still did it good didnt it?
