With all due respect. Nobody uses the bus stop that is at the
sculpture park towards Sengkang. Literally. After all, there is a
sheltered walkway under the LRT which takes only 5 mins to
complete.
The one opposite is mainly used by residents living in the
estates wedged between the Street and the Crescent. I dont see the
difference between placing a new stop along Crescent, and retaining
the stop on Street.
But when 83 goes into crescent so many ppl benefit! Ppl living
inside the crescent benefit. BTO residents benefit.
So again, there simply is no reason why any other svc would do
better than 83 if there was to be a diversion.
P.s. if you think that any sole svc along a main road would not
be withdrawn, explain svc 207.
Hi mr SMB128B, you cannot say nobody uses the bus stop at
sculpture park towards sengkang. I have seen people alighting from
Sbs 83 at that stop and also people boarding it, albeit very few
people. Not nobody.
As for the main road and side road issue, it is anybody guess.
One year down the road, I am pretty confident that Sbs 83 will
still ply compassvale street instead of going into crescent. Hope I
am proven wrong.
Take note that new bto flats at compassvale crescent will still
have access to 1 new bus stop along sengkang east road. There will
be Sbs 43, 43M, 109, 119 at this new stop being planned. Sbs 43,
43M, 119 coming from Punggol and Sbs 109 coming from slip road from
TPE. It is not total gloom for those staying at the new bto at
compassvale crescent. Some flats are nearer to this new stop too.
Now we know the significance of why Sbs 43M must start from Punggol
to loop at serangoon central instead of serangoon to loop at
buangkok only. Sbs 43M will immensely close up the gap for those
flats at Punggol and sengkang. Cheers.
