Nice routes, but I think some of them can stop at bus interchanges and the numbers should be different... Have 164 and 46 ending at Marina Ctr.

From SMRT to get DDs soon

If SMRT buy more DDs and a few more articulate buses they should consider these routes
Changi Cargo Complex
Another svc to Airport from Northwest(Tengah?,Bt Panjang?)
Punggol
Taman Jurong & Joo Koon

Actually, to think about it, having a direct bus service to Joo Koon from Taman Jurong is a good idea, with benefits such as:

Hi. I would like to suggest a new bus service that provides direct connection to Ngee Ann Polytechnic, SIM University and Maju camp - from Jurong West. Similar to 185, this bus service shall originate from Soon Lee Bus Depot and Buona Vista Bus Terminal.

Length towards Buona Vista Bus Terminal: 19.3km

Length towards Soon Lee Bus Depot (via Upper Bukit Timah Road [directly to PIE after Ngee Ann Polytechnic bus stop]): 18.0km

The bus travels 8.5km on the expressway on both directions.

(8.5*2)(100)/(19.3+18.0) = 45.6 (3 s.f.)

:. 45% of this bus service is on expressway.

Actually, from the map, it seems that the bus will to some extent run "semi-express" at Clementi Road and Holland Road, since the bus stops are more separated apart. So the bus somehow runs "express" at (slightly) more than half of the route. This may make it more convincing to LTA to consider such a long-distance trunk bus service suggestion.

Good route. Will help to relieve loading between Ngee Ann and Holland on sv 61. Also provide new connection to people along Boon Lay area that is not connected by 185.

Route Amendment to Service 128

Introduced as an MRT-parallel service, Service 128 heavily duplicates the rail network from Yio Chu Kang to Tanjong Pagar, as well as Service 162, which also plies between Yio Chu Kang and Shenton Way via Ang Mo Kio and Bishan.

Below is a route amendment which provides better connectivity between the north-east areas of Singapore and Orchard Rd/Shenton Way.

Benefits

Direction 1 (Punggol Temp Int Shenton Way Ter)

With reference to the complaints about the provision of night bus services made in the shortening of NRs thread, I suggest a re-organization of the current night bus services and the merger of Nite Owl and NightRider into a single basic-plus service type to reduce the duplication of Nite Owls/NightRiders and increase the efficiency of night bus services.

With this suggested re-organization, the public transport operators will operate night bus services which connect to the areas they manage only. A standardized flat fare of $3.50 will be charged per ride. Transfers between night bus services will be free of charge if commuters use their ez-link card.

Hi mr SBS7557R, good for sbs 128M. It will be better if go by Punggol field then all the way until Punggol way then right turn to anchorvale st. This avoids major traffic build up at Punggol road and avoids duplication with sbs 83. So must skip Punggol road and compassvale st. It also speeds up the journey time in this way. Cheers.

dupdup77 SG

Hi mr SBS7557R, as for the night bus services, the routes do look fine. But please take note that currently for sbs transit, there is intra-town charges which is about $2. So you cannot implement $3.50 flat fee for all. This will affect some people seriously. Charges cannot be raised too much for this group of people. Thanks.

Acx1688 SG

SBS7557R,

Can ask if your night routes have similar day time routes or something close?!

Acx1688 SG

128 should be left as it is as it is a faster variant of 162

Try working on 82/107 merged with tweaks, better as 82/107 is heavily duplicated on certain sectors

Hmmm... Basically converting 6N to full day?

Okay, seems fine.

But pls do not deprive Upp Changi residents (majority air crew) of their late night rides. It won't be good. (referring to othe post)

In conjunction with upcoming facilities in Changi Business Park area, svc.41 & 126 will be introduced to temporary loop at the Changi South Ave 1, outside the future Changi Business Park Bus Terminal. These 2 bus services will cater the needs to certain MRT stations and quick getaway near to city areas.

On the other hand, new svc.44 will bring you to the growing town, Punggol. The inconvenience along Kaki Bukit has been a highlight for this introduction due to the stretch without any bus service plying.

Route Infomation:

Red line - Express Sector to Destination Trip.
Maroon line - Express Sector of Return Trip.

41 (Habourfront Int <> Changi South Ave 1) [LOOP]:

44 (Punggol Temporary Int <> Changi Business Park Central 2) [LOOP]:

Hi mr BusAnalyser, I think with new interchange, they are more likely to introduce new routes instead of re-routing existing bus services. Cheers.

They need to re- route some existing services to create space at other crowded interchanges. This way can introduce service from HG to Defu, will need new service within Sengkang town near Jalan Kayu once the HDBs there are occupational. Need space at Serangoon for new service.

carbikebus SG

Buangkok will surely get new svc but mostly short or medium haul type..Its corridors is well served by either Sengkang/Punggol and Hougang svc.153 from Buangkok to Bt Merah seems to be good idea..

372 very unlikely... Not practical to amend that service

Sengkang Int still have space anyways...
