Well, I am sorry for not being clear. What I meant by "three new
bus interchanges" is actually the upcoming Changi South Bus
Terminal, the future Tampines North Bus Interchange and the future
Buangkok Bus Interchange.
Alright, maybe I have overreacted on the part where I say the
bus routes may be revamped.
I am sorry for writing it wrongly/not clear.
What I am actually saying is
that it may be that the LTA might have projected that the traffic
around Bedok Bus Interchange cannot accomodate much more traffic,
hence it might have capped the number of bus services at Bedok Bus
Interchange and have only a number of parking lots that is just
nice to fit the current number of services.
It could be because of this - that Bedok Bus Interchange should
not accomodate more bus services than what it is already
accomodating - that's why LTA announced a bus terminal at Changi
South. The bus terminal at Changi South may be there also because
Tampines Bus Interchange may also be full and may also not be able
to accomodate anymore bus services.
I think moving on, until Tampines North Bus Interchange opens,
any new bus service at Bedok and Tampines area will start from
Changi South Bus Terminal, or any new roadside bus terminal
(similar to the one at Taman Jurong) built in future.
When Changi South Bus Terminal is full of new bus services and
cannot accomodate any more new bus service already, I think by then
Tampines North Bus Interchange would be built and ready to
accomodate new bus services. Likewise, when Tampines North Bus
Interchange is full, there will be another bus interchange, and so
on. This is what I think may happen.
In future, I don't know when... but NEL will have 3 new
interchanges
Bidadari (to open in 2019)
Punggol Matilda (announced but work not started but should open
in 2017/2018 ideally considering the development of Punggol
West)
Buangkok (announced but work has not started)
