Loyang district includes:- Loyang Industrial Estate- Old Tampines Road- Upper Changi North (not industrial estate though)- Flora* Considering this my guess i...

Find it interesting how 49 and 983 is called a new service... Likewise 99 is not new... just extension... but they consider all extensions (119/103) as new service.

cut and paste from their press release.....

see amended/extended service are count under the new services under BSEP...

new service as if it serve some new previously not serve area... but then later on, when they count again, they will fall short of the 80 service target, because 49/983 are all double entry....

45 new or amended bus services since start of BSEP

2. In September 2015, four new bus services i.e. SBS Transit Service 102 and City Direct Services CDS 661, 662 and 663 were implemented to provide additional connectivity to commuters. These four services bring the total number of new or amended services under the BSEP to 45.

so 117/49/99/983 will be 4 of the so call new route already...left 3 only... should be bedok - marine parade, yishun new feeder.. as for tampines might be extension of some service only...(maybe 27M --> Tampines to Changi Airport)...

dun pin too much hope...

Hi mr lemon1974, when LTA said almost the same thing in sept 2015 press release and repeat it again in Oct 2015 press release, surely they must have done enough preparations and groundwork to release news for the new routes already. 1 month is enough time to announce already if the new route is merely an extension or amendment. Surely this is another way to buy time or another half-hearted attempt to even try to shift the goalposts again? Cheers. Thanks.

Hi mr busanalyser, LTA is technically correct. They say 7 more new routes in the press release. New routes do not necessarily mean totally new services. New routes can be extension of existing services or even amendment of current existing routes. Cheers. Thanks.

Is there by any chance the extended 983 will ply CCK Ave 7 and Keat Hong link via Brickland or CCK Ave 6 > CCK Ave > CCK Way and so to Bukit Panjang? The new Yishun service is rumoured to be a feeder 805 to Yishun st 51 btw.

Is there any chance the LTA will extend Service 502 to Sengkang Bus Interchange Extension?

Hope the bus drivers are already in and beginning to test run the routes already. Cheers. Thanks.

The LTA will allow route duplication with the NEL

TPS Timothy Mok SG

The LTA might be having a single route 659:

NTU > Simpang via Tengah

Path Light SG

The LTA will extend Service 62, 81, 82, 97, 103, 106, 111 and 502

If 386 can be counted twice, so can 49 & 983.

Path Light SG

111 will be extended. 62, 81, 82, 97, 103, 106, 147, 165 and 502 will also be extended

BusAnalayzer SG

49 extension between Corporation and Jurong East via AYE may not fetch huge number of pax... I think sv 49 DDs won't do good justice to the extension.

Path Light SG

Might as well bring back Service 501, 511 and 512

So 49 is Jurong East-Taman Jurong?

Path Light SG

Yes, but the Berth is not sure

BusAnalayzer SG

So 49 is Jurong East-Taman Jurong?

No, more like Jurong East - Jurong West st 42 (loop). Taman Jurong terminal will be demolished.

All this is speculation based on posts here.

No, because 334 uses: Jurong East - Jurong West Street 42 (Loop). More likely Jurong East - Yuan Ching Road (Loop)

Thinking about it, those from Taman Jurong to Jurong East (especially those transfering to buses/NSL) may prefer 49 extension, as there's only 98 (which is winding along Jurong West/East Ave 1) and 178 (which has poor frequency and only plies the outskirts of Taman Jurong). Especially important for Yuan Ching Rd which only has 154.

Additionally, AYE will have workers at those construction areas going to Jurong East... Now there's only 178.

I'm not sure if 49 from Jurong East to Jurong West St 42 will be faster than 334 (most likely it won't), but it may also serve as an alternative to the always crowded 334.
