Feeder373W: Plies reversed direction of 373G.
Why?
Enhanses introtown connectivity around Anchorvale &
Fernvale.
Serves new Hdb blocks along Sengkang West Way which is only covered
by 85.
Serves Anchorvale Lane, which doesn’t have any bus service until
now.
Better connection to The Seletar Mall.
What do you think? Feedbacks are welcomed!
Actually no need for G/W... 373 can ply to Sengkang West Way and
loop around Seletar Mall/Fernvale area. It can do Anchorvale lane
as well. Sengkang West/East ave have LRT/50/163 so doing okay for
now.
I don't know what is stopping LTA to launch new service to
Sengkang West Way... By now there should have been a trunk (sv 50
style) going to maybe AMK and a feeder 373.
On another note, sv 85 loading is not very great between
Sengkang West Way and Sengkang either. I think two reasons:
- Poor frequency
- MRT is quite far so there is bit of walk. So people must be
instead preferring to walk and take LRT instead, at least frequency
guaranteed (but either way it's quite a walk and not v convenient
during sunny/rainy days)
