Can reroute 852 to Sin Ming Rd ... extending one intratown trunk service all the way there is out of the question with current LTA policies

should just introduce 410M instead...bishan--> bishan st22, then loop at sin min area, then bishan st22 and interchange... can reduce the no of buses for 410G/W.

morning peak, can help to fetch workers to sin ming area, helping sv130 load...and on the return journey can fetch bishan st22 paxes to mrt..

evening peak, fetch paxes to bishan st22 and workers from sin min to bishan mrt..

No need to reroute 852..If they must then extend to Jurong East lor..Another connection from West to North passing by Bt Batok

LTA has announced that they will introduce new service for Yishun, but not sure when. New bus stops along Yishun Ave 8 are signs that Yishun will get new service. For extension will be 860 and i think that the extension for 860 might be this year.

Got link of the news? I was searching for it. Also a new pair of bus stop along Yishun Central (Opp SAFRA Yishun) mentioned earlier... Is it also linked to the new service?

I believe looking at the situation.. 860 load is damn good... But no DDs... Extend to where sia?? They should intro 850 instead... And add trips to 850E... Damn the bus always full de when reach my stop (2nd last stop before express to Dhoby Ghaut MRT)

carbikebus SG

Thats why Yishun is better under Wldep,860 can get DDs,851,855 all easily get DDs..Amdep part control 171,851,853,854,855,857 and other CBD/Eastern svc..Can relieve Amdep also till Ssdep is ready

BusAnalayzer SG

Yes 850E all buses come to Dhoby Ghaut housefull. I had posted pics earlier. All 3
DDs have standees, means 80+ pax easily. Also the 2 MANA22s I have seen on 850E had good number of standees, around 60 pax for sure.

But 850E in evening...loading is still not great... sometimes I see the same slot bus departing Dhoby Ghaut MRT with 40 pax... and sometimes housefull. This is why it hasnt got PM fleet add yet.

But my recommendation is they should add 2 SDs for PM peak. Timings departing Shenton Way at 17.40, 18.00, 18.20, 18.40 hours

That LTA said in the press release at FB where they will introduce new services for CCK. One statement from LTA said "3 new bus services for CCK and Yishun to look forward to!' So 2 new service for CCK and 1 new service for Yishun but for Yishun LTA have not said the route details yet.

BusAnalayzer SG

The route could be something like:

Yishun Interchange

Yishun Central

Yishun Ave 4 (2 new stops)

Yishun Ring Road (1 new stop)

Yishun St 41 (1 new stop)

Yishun Ave 1

Yishun Ave 8 (1 new stop)

Yishun Ave 6 (2 stops with 850E)

Yishun Ave 1

Yishun st 41 (1 new stop)

Yishun Ring Road (1 new stop)

Yishun Ave 4

Yishun Central

Yishun Temp Interchange

* Faster MRT connection to ave 4 from Yishun (current sv 812 takes long with poor frequency)

* Connects st 41 and new hdbs along ring road

* Service made to loop around ave 8 only because new bus stops spotted. Does not make sense to have service ply ave 8 yet. No development around currently.

Honestly I hope there can be a service from Yishun to Punggol via Seletar Aerospace Park and Yishun Ave 8...

If it goes beyond to Punggol or Sengkang, makes sense. If only loop service at ave 8, then does not make sense, as ave 8 has nothing right now around it.

carbikebus SG

If its a feeder then no comment,if its a trunk then Seletar Aerospace is the way

Sbs6750E SG

Maybe the route will be like: Yishun Temp Int, Yishun Central, Yishun Ave 4, Yishun Ring Road, Yishun Street 41, Yishun Ave 1, Lentor Ave, SLE, TPE, Sengkang East Road, Sengkang, East Way, Compassvale Road, Compassvale Street, Punggol Road, Punggol Central, Punggol Place, Punggol Temp Int.

I tot someone mentioned feeder 807?

There have been lot of rumors in recent past... so now its getting difficult to believe...

164 from punggol to tampines

983 to bukit batok and yew tee

Lets see what the 807 route is.

TIB1112L SG

some mentioned a feeder, some mentioned extension of 860, but what comes out may be something unexpected yet mentioned before by some *hint hint*

BusAnalayzer SG

some mentioned a feeder, some mentioned extension of 860, but what comes out may be something unexpected yet mentioned before by some *hint hint*

Lot of things mentioned before

1. 850E becoming full day service

2. 103 extended to Yishun via Seletar or have Punggol-Yishun service via Seletar

3. 859 to be extended to Yishun ring road

4. 860 extension

5. 807 feeder to ave 1/ave 4/st 41/st 51 area

So which one of these?

array88 SG

I just realised that, it seems that the way LTA is introducing new services now is kind of based on GCM.

If you recall, in the Bulim Package there were originally 24 services, but in Oct 2014 LTA announced 26. In the next few months before closing of tender in Jan 2015, sv 41 and 990 were introduced and sv 189 was amended (sv 201 is also related to the amendment of sv 189). It seems that LTA was trying to finalise the routes in Jurong East and Bukit Batok and shape them into what LTA wanted them to be when TT take over the operations in 2016, so as to avoid changes to the services in the package which would be unfair to the tenderers. That's why LTA was rushing to introduce so many services in Q4 2014, even though some seems unnecessary at this moment.

Similarly, Loyang Package has 3 services to be introduced. This probably means that we will see 3 new services in Pasir Ris and Punggol before the tender is closed in Aug 2015. After this, we may not see any changes until the second half of 2016.

(I wonder, is this the reason why 301 and 983 are introduced which seem somehow redundant before the flats in Keat Hong are completed? Maybe they will be in some package soon so LTA is rushing to amend/introduce the services even when it's unnecessary at this point?)
