Better connectivity with new bus services

no point setting such target. its better to intro bus routes as when necessary. or else the planners may resort to introducing redundant services just to meet targets.

Indeed. LTA will be more focused on reaching the 80-route quota rather then introducing services when and as needed with 116,120 and 141 being a good example. Even 41, 201 and 990's load is v.poor esp during off-peak hours.

And btw, this can't be discussed in the "LTA's Bus Service Enhancement Programme" thread?

Lol... there is also a thread of "New Bus Services to be introduced by LTA"

Suddenly... we are reviving a lot of topics like "Optimization of DDs" something I started 2 years back and died after few posts.

Hi mr lemon1974, yes there will be 80 new bus services. However SMB3095S initial statement of 80 new routes to sengkang, Punggol, choa Chu Kang and yishun is wrong. His statement is structurally inaccurate in that it implies all 80 services go to the 4 areas. Cheers.

Raffles Hotel bus stop might have 2 more Express svcs... 2 more empty slots have shifted between 951E & 960... Maybe with Wlands + SBW area for 952E & 953E?

We have been wishing for this for long. I think we can expect Q4 2015 once the Tampines interchange extension is open.

carbikebus SG

Tampines-Hougang Central?

Tampines-Hougang Central?

If LTA implement those express service like two trip in the morning and two trips in the evening one. Think 60 route is easily achievable. Hope not these kind of services

Sengkang-Tampines loop at Dnata kitchen
