At the mattress,i dun think its feasible to introduce this express 190 since the parent svc is consider express too.Wasted resource.But we might think of something that start from Bukit Batok via 190 routes terminate at Orchard Stn.

29 - Tampines interchange loop @ Changing Village

(without going to Tampines st 41, Tampines Ave 9)

Fleet: 7 buses

81 - Tampines Interchane loop @ Serangoon Central

(divert via route 29 - Tampines st 41, ave 9)

Fleet: 17 buses (8 dd, 9 sd)

Advantages:

* direct link for people along old tam pines road! upper changi, cranwell to Tampines MRT without doing the long loop of Tampines ave 9, st 41

* with diversion of Sv 81, provide direct link to HDBs along st 41, ave 9 to Pasir Ris, NEL; lost sector along tam pines ave 7 covered by Sv 21 to Pasir ris

* higher capacity buses on Sv 81 will further increase capacity along st 41, ave 9 to Tampines MRT

For your 81 its great but i was thinking 29 Start from Changi loop at Tampines instead to relieve Tampines congestion

This route can KO RWS8

How? It doesn't go to Telok Blangah Road (Harbourfront/Vivocity) like RWS8. I don't think RWS8 will get affected much, unless more people take 862 instead of taking other bus services to Harbourfront, then changing to RWS8.

Oh yeah, thanks for pointing out

Suggestion: re-route bus route 174 - for faster route to Boon Lay Bus Interchange and also for greater connectivity for Jurong West Extension residents to Bukit Batok and Bukit Timah areas.

from Jurong Road,

new section: 2.15km

skipped section (to BL: via Boon Lay Way): 2.23km

skipped section (from BL: directly to Jalan Boon Lay): 1.84km

Alternative bus route for affected commuters: 157. or is it better to re-route 157 instead?

I doubt SBS Transit would let bus routes going to/from Jurong West Street 64 to use the end-on berths. So, I think a bus service using the sawtooth beth would be re-routed to use the end-on berths, while 174 is re-routed and use the sawtooth berth. Actually, it would be good if a SMRT bus route can use the end-on berths. Any bus route being re-routed to use the end-on berths instead of the sawtooth berths would definitely be shorter in distance, enabling the operator to improve the operations of the bus service.

Suggestion: re-route feeder bus route 333 - for bus connection to Chinese Garden MRT Station (currently missing) from Jurong East Street 31/32 and Jurong East Street 21/24.

from Jurong East Avenue 1 (before Jurong Town Hall Road),

***Allows residents who resides in the west to go to Changi Airport/Marina Bay Sands/Vivo City etc. by bus.

***service from West to Changi.

***Will head to Jurong East instead first becuz BNL Int is quite full, so svc starts from BBT then to JE then to landmarks and Changi.

Pls give me feedback on the route. Thanks...)

The Jurong section is already covered by several bus routes - 157 (to Bukit Batok), 98 (between Jurong East and Jurong West), 187 (between Bukit Batok and Jurong West Street 51), 99 (from Jurong West/East to Commonwealth Avenue West), etcetera .

I heard from somewhere that Commonwealth Avenue West has serious traffic congestion problem. Until measures are made to solve the traffic congestion problem, no new bus route should go along that road. Besides, there is already 99. It may be better if bus route 99 is re-routed instead, to use Jurong East Central to go to Boon Lay Way instead of Jurong Town Hall Road.

The Vivo City section seems to resemble bus route 30. The section to Changi Airport may not be feasible to operate.

You know, there is a reason why MRT can co-exist with bus. Considering the traffic jams during peak hours along AYE and a few other roads, using the MRT along the way may be a faster option to go to the Vivo City area from Jurong and Bukit Batok. Likewise to the city and Changi Airport.

Nonetheless, the bus connectivity between Toh Guan area of Jurong East and Bukit Batok should indeed be reviewed.

I personally feel that this is too similar to bus route 187.

Would it be better if bus route 187 is re-routed/extended instead?

Proceed to Taman Jurong Ter.

After reaching Jurong Point, follow 187 route until route at turning left. Ditch following 187 route, go straight till junction of Jurong Town Hall Rd and BNL Way.

Assuming that the suggestion is

This bus route does not go into Taman Jurong. If you want it to go into Taman Jurong and terminate at Taman Jurong Bus Terminal, it should not ply Bukit Batok East Avenue 3, PIE, Jurong Town Hall Road and Corporation Road. It should ply Bukit Batok Avenue 1, Jurong East Central 1 and Jurong East Avenue 1 in both directions, then

Pervertedboy SG

Distance of new bus route = ~14.25km (~2km shorter than route 185)

As an alternative to 99 and 185, the frequency of this new bus service should be similar as well: ~10 minutes during peak hours.

Advantages:

* Provides direct connection to people living along st 21, 24 to MRT

* Current route is redundant and does not provide unique reason for existence unlike 334, 335. Moreover long route via Toh Guan, IMM deters Jurong East Ave people to take 333 and rather opt for 98/99/334. Direct connection to homes on st 21, 24 will make this service more useful.

When Downtown Line stage 2 opens, I hope the Government can introduce the hub-and-spoke system to the Bukit Timah areas – where people take DTL to Bukit Timah and transfer to bus to get to their destination in Bukit Timah. (it is faster to travel on MRT and transfer to bus, than to travel 100% on bus) This may reduce the number of buses on the roads of Bukit Timah and may help to reduce traffic congestion in Bukit Timah, especially along Clementi Road where Ngee Ann Poly. and SIM University are.

On a separate note, I would like to suggest a route which would provide direct bus connection to Ngee Ann Polytechnic from Jurong West.

Re-route 185 to exit PIE at Upper Bukit Timah Road. From Upper Bukit Timah Road, through Jalan Jurong Kechil and Jalan Anak Bukit, it goes along Clementi Road and back to its current road at Commonwealth Avenue West. Skipping Clementi Avenue 6 and the western section of Commonwealth Avenue West.

Skipped section: 3.84km

New section: 6.31km

Something along that line…

This may help to reduce the human congestion at the bus stop at Clementi MRT Station and make it easier for students of Ngee Ann Poly. and SIM University to go to and from their school and house.

Con: this may add on to the heavy traffic at Clementi Road. So, if this were to take effect, the government should introduce measures such as bus lanes, etc.
