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.
That's why I stated "Future Development" since both the
alighting berths had been used for svcs like 904, 950, 966, RP
& NYP Shuttles... Only possible if WRI can be expanded bigger
with more berths, more parking lots and wider lanes for
manuvurability...
