Hi mr array88, from what we heard, 102 is a standalone new service. So unlikely it will be merged with 859. Cheers. Thanks.

Is this service starting from Serangoon or Sengkang?

Hi mr vicamour, heard from people in this forum that the service is starting from Hougang. Cheers.

I think services like 852 and 859 should extend to Yishun East. They can greatly reduce the loads for 804 and 806, which in turn operate solely on single deckers in future to increase the frequencies for these two services.

852 nay,859 and 860 yes..But i would prefer 860 to loop at Seletar Airport

Hi mr carbikebus, nothing to be crazy but everything looks possible. We will just have to wait and see. Cheers.

bro.. how do you propose 860 to loop at Seletar Airport... It loops @ Khatib MRT and that's where the main loading comes. The option can be to be extended from Yishun side to Canberra/Sembawang or beyond Khatib to Springleaf/AMK

carbikebus SG

Ok like that Springleaf better

Now that the walking distance from the Yishun MRT to the Interchange is further away, plus the layout... Seems like more people are taking buses from bus stops nearer to the MRT stations. E.g. people taking 804 boarding at the first bus stop instead of the interchange.

Changing commuter habits

carbikebus SG

Its just a temporary Interchange till 2019 where the Integrated Transport Hub will be ready at the former side..

If anyone wants to talk about more commuter habits, there's more bus commuters transferring to the MRT at Yishun MRT now (with the temp bus stop outside Yishun MRT for the Sv 39, 85 all those), compared to mostly transferring at Khatib MRT previously. haha.

Heard SBST might deploy a timekeeper at Yishun..In fact Woodlands also need SBST timekeeper to monitor svc 161 and 168 movement rather than BCs call Hougang and Bedok respectively..

What's the difference between having a timekeeper there at Yishun compared to previously though? Any pros and cons? Just curious.

With timekeeper additional cost thats it,But more productive instead have to call the T1 interchange and add burden to the timekeepers..Woodlands is more sensible because Amdep 168 change shift @ WRI,Unless 39 is part Amdep..

Ohh. So correct me if I misinterpreted, so deploying a timekeeper at Yishun is better for SBST to track the timely departures of their 3 svcs now at Yishun Int?

If i didn't interprete your reply wrongly, I guess it's a good thing then. Both Sv 39 & 85's frequency gets massively screwed up whenever there's an accident on TPE / SLE during Peak Hours.

And commuters on these 2 svcs typically have no other alternatives to wherever they want to go after Yishun (maybe for Sv 85 there is some I think, but for Sv 39 practically none to Pasir Ris (the bulk of the load) unless you take 858/969 & transfer at the TPE bus stop @ Sengkang)

Yeah bro youre right.Current Terminal or Interchanges without SBST Timekeeper but based on telephone call or normal card tapping is,Yishun,Woodlands,Changi Village,Upp East Coast,Lor 1 Geylang.

Current Ter/Int without SMRT timekeeper but still have card tapping system is,Boon Lay,Harbourfront,Bt Merah,RWS,Shenton Way,Marina Ctr,New Bridge Rd,Lor 1 Geylang,Upp East Coast,Eunos,Bedok,Tampines.

Uh, I see I see. I guess the addition of Sv 103 now to Yishun Int + the appearance of DDs on Sv 39 & 85 would justify the new deployment of a physical timekeeper then.

If both Yishun & Woodlands get the timekeepers, I think this meant that SBST has kinda realised that the TPE & SLE stretch is becoming too accident-prone & a constant worry for the svcs' frequencies during Peak Hours. Hmm.

carbikebus SG

Hmm probably yes,But dont take it seriously cause i only heard from horse mouth.
