506 from bedok to tuas terminal
I agree that 506 should
be extended to Joo Koon. (Maybe not to Tuas, since I can change to
182 now or the MRT in the future)
I live in Bedok and go
to NTU every day so I appreciate an alternative route other than
MRT or svc 30.
My suggestion for svc
506 extension: Link
Reason:
- The bus is quite empty between Jurong East and Bukit Batok
Central. If it's extended to Jurong West, the capacity will be well
utilised. (It's faster to travel between Jurong East and Bukit
Batok on the MRT anyway.)
- Jurong West
lacks an express service to Central/Eastern Singapore (Express 502
doesn't feel like an express service, with so many stops along
Jurong East/West Avenue 1 and so many traffic lights between IMM
and Orchard)
- Direct and fast access to the Jurong industrial region for
residents of Bukit Batok, Toa Payoh and Bedok

Route suggestion for
507: Link
Reason:

Singapore
- Fast service to/from Bukit
Timah (connection to Hillview, SIM and Ngee Ann Poly)
- More options for residents along the northern portion of Lorong 2
Toa Payoh
- Fast service to/from Bartley MRT (connection to Circle
Line)
- Fast service to/from Temasek Poly
- More options for residents along Tampines Avenue 4
