Suggesting a route extension for 198.VIa Jln Bukit Merah, Cantonment road, Expressway, Fort Road, Mountbatten Road, Amber road, Marine parade road, bedok sou...

TIB1112L SG

Feeder sv for sembawang. It is basically just the conversion of sv 859 to something like the green/white plate of sbs transit.

It came true :o

Old Lim Chu Kang Rd Terminal to Old Upp Thomson Rd Terminal BSEP

8 Citaros 7 Wrights,Depot Bulim and Ang Mo Kio...Good for those who are adventurous and we would not hesitate to waste taxpayer money in order to squeeze more money from you

SBS 9256 X SG

Service 152

Sengkang Interchange - Singapore Zoological Gardens (Loop)

Via

Compassvale Rd
Sengkang East/West Ave
Fernvale Rd
Sengkang West Way
Jalan Kayu
TPE/SLE
Lentor Rd
Yishun Ave 1
Mandai Ave
Mandai Rd
Mandai Lake Rd

Benefits:
- Benefitting passengers who are heading towards Seletar Mall and act as an alternative route to Svc 163 along East/West Ave

- Another alternative route to Jalan Kayu besides Service 86 and 85

- Direct route to Mandai Crematorium/Columbarium for folks. Dun have to transfer at Yishun and wait for 171

- Direct service to Zoological Gardens instead of travelling to AMK and Woodlands/CCK to take 138/927 or 926 (Weekends only)

Bad Side:

- Too short of a route (I guess for your analysing)

- Too many buses at Sengkang Interchange (Suggestive maybe start at Punggol Interchange?)

No need of service to Zoo... Need service from Sengkang to Whompoa Estate... that will be a welcome addition.

Or from Tampines to St. Michael's via Sengkang, YCK Road, CTE

Hi mr busanalyser, service from tampines? I think better not. Tampines has just too many services and better have 1 less bus service plying TPE and subjecting it to more traffic situation along TPE causing frequency issues. Start from sengkang int to st Michael via sengkang west way to spread out the crowd at seletar mall from the back. For those not familiar with the area, the mall is bounded by sengkang west ave from front (sbs 50, 163/163M) and sengkang west way from behind (sbs 85 + some walking distance). Moreover, fernvale area just has too many flats coming up. Cheers.

BusAnalayzer SG

You won't have one now, but surely you will have a new service parallel to sv 27 once Tampines extension is open. This new service should go beyond Sengkang to Jalan Kayu, YCK road, CTE, St. Michael's IMO. Will be a very good route and fast one.

dupdup77 SG

Hi mr busanalyser, hope your route comes true. But I doubt LTA will introduce a service which makes use of (2 expressways) both TPE (from tampines to sengkang) and continue with some roads and go onto CTE again. Lately LTA only gives you short trunk routes at most. So I believe the distance is just too far for them to think of even such a route. Cheers and good luck.

SMB42P SG

Since LTA likes to have short routes now..here is what i propose:

BSEP 924 (full fleet A22 is enough):

Choa Chu Kang Int
Choa Chu Kang Way (new bus stop needed)
Choa Chu Kang North 7 (new bus stops needed)
Choa Chu Kang Drive ( opp Yew Tee MRT)
Choa Chu Kang North 6
Choa Chu Kang St 54 (new bus stop needed)
Choa Chu Kang North 5
Choa Chu Kang Drive
KJE
Woodlands Road
Senja Way
Senja Road
Senja Link
Bukit Panjang Ring Road
Bukit Panjang Road (blk 184)

>> can stop here, or also can loop back via Woodlands Road (Junction 10 stop)

SMB42P SG

BSEP 923:

Bukit Panjang Road (blk 184)

Choa Chu Kang Road

Choa Chu Kang Way

Cck ave 1 >> ave 6 >> ave 5 >> ave 4 (lot one)

Cck drive (non stop)

Cck ave 3 >> ave 1

Choa Chu Kang Way

Cck Road

Bukit Panjang Road (blk 604)

You are right... we can only hope... hoiping that seeing success of both sv 50 and sv 972.... the only 2 long haul routes launched by SMRT... that have been hugely successful... :LTA introduces some next year.

Service 952 to 955 seems good..
But as for Service 951, in my opinion, Premium 587 should be converted to a Trunk service merging your proposed Service 951 together.

Just my opinion~

carbikebus SG

AMK/Bishan/Toa Payoh/Woodlands/Clementi/Serangoon/Harbourfront/Boon Lay already so tight...

dupdup77 SG

All, route suggestions not equal to interchange/terminal. Mr ButIAmAToilet, please check out the topic before typing and start all this talk here. No offense. Getting messy! Cheers.

How is AC7 routing like?Maybe in future should they withdraw SMRT can take over and extend to Larkin?

113 Route Extension Hougang Central - Serangoon Int (Loop) [9-10 Buses] BSEP

[In case if u are asking why 113 shud remain at HCI, Hougang Central will be hugely developed during the next 10 years. A megamall will be built on top of the new Hougang Integrated Hub. And there are people taking 113 from Hougang. Remove 113 from there and people will not be happy, Eg. Removing the Old Sv 85 from Sengkang in the past.]

[Extension]

Lor Ah Soo

Upper Paya Lebar Rd

Upp S'goon Rd

Serangoon Int (Loop)

(113A) > 113M Kovan Stn - Upp Paya Lebar Rd (Loop) [2 Buses] (Full Day)

Kovan Stn

Freq : 25mins

Hougang St 21

Hougang Ave 1

Lor Ah Soo

Hougang St 11 [Amends broken link when 113 skips this street.]

Pros : 45A,53A/B and 113A can be withdrawn. More bus svcs to Serangoon MRT. Loops inside int, people will queue up and board 113 from Serangoon int instead of the hassle of going opposite to take 53 or outside to take Sv 45. Since People in lorong ah soo are already reliant on bus 45 or 53 to MRT and not 113 anymore.

Cons : 113 dosent turn into Hougang st 11, only 113M Does. Terminating Point for 113M is at the unused bus stop along tampines road (Where 119 turns right to Upp S'goon Rd back to Punggol)

First of all, Woodlands Int is currently full to bursting point, and can hardly accomodate new svcs. Next, Woodlands hardly needs so many new svcs to the city area. 951 (trunk variant of 951E) is ok, but can exit at Moulmein or Kampong Java and serve Newton/Scotts as well. 952 and 954 would take too much time at Ang Mo Kio and Sembawang Rd, too slow for pax travelling from Woodlands to city.

953 too long and winding, can start from Sembawang instead of Woodlands. Not many ppl would go to Sixth Avenue, while Holland Village and Buona Vista got MRT. May be better to go via Clementi Rd, to serve NP, SIM and maybe SP.

955 is a good route, fast connections between Woodlands, Yew Tee and Jurong West/ Joo Koon, viable alternative to MRT, although prone to jams at Woodlands checkpoint. May be better to terminate at Boon Lay instead (which should have space after some JIS move to Joo Koon), as off peak demand to NTU and Joo Koon may be quite low. Boon Lay also a more convenient transfer point for Jurong West residents.

TIB868X SG

since woodlands temporary interchange is coming up with the current interchange to be redeveloped, LTA must seize this opportunity to expand the interchange. how? i am unsure because it is already quite big yet it has so many services and buses the space is not enough.

however, the scholars at LTA should be smart enough since all the current ITHs are of excellent design cough cough.
