JWR - can you check if there are bendy parking lots at
the new interchange?
I dont think it will cut short anyway..By the way i have drive 854
numerous of times
Indeed, there seems to be provision for articulated buses.
There seems to be around two longer-than-usual parking lots at
the bus bay and there seems to be around one sawtooth berth (seems
to be the one nearest to Bedok North Drive) with longer-than-usual
space for buses to collect passengers.
All sawtooth berths?Forsee a cramped Int…should have a bit of
end berths too for an Int with many bus svc..
Yes, apparently, it seems that all the boarding berths in the new
Bedok Bus Interchange are sawtooth type.
There seems to be around five beths for alighting (same as the
new one at Boon Lay Bus Interchange) and around ten berths for
boarding, with around fifty six average-sized parking lots and
around two longer-than-average parking lots.
But then, even if there will be around the same number of
alighting berths, the one at Bedok should be more fast-flowing
(able to handle more buses in the same time) than the one at Boon
Lay, since Bedok has only one bus service that will potentially use
articulated buses (for all we know, Double Decker buses may be
deployed on that SMRT bus service eventually), whereas Boon Lay has
four.
Well, I am not allowed to share anything about the new bus
interchange. So that's about all I would write.
Meanwhile, here's a look at
how the temporary bus interchange is like
and how the original bus interchange was like (taken from SBS
Transit's website, via wayback machine)
