24 has split buses starting at CGA, buses have to travel from AMDEP all the way to CGA. 13 is really one troublesome svc when it comes to buses starting thei...

So Changi Bus Park fall under who's purview?Loyang or Bedok North?Afaik Bedok North definitely control Bedok/Upp East Coast & Eunos.They miss 2 & 12,Should have been Loyang/Amdep control...Imagine first 4 buses start from New Bridge Rd,All the way waste fuel off service there.34 so short also tio dual depot?

BusAnalayzer SG

Isn't ARBP closer than AMDEP for 2, 12, 120?

carbikebus SG

Spacing issues..Arbp only can hold 210 buses the most else you will see 120,400 & 402 all under Arbp..Actually they can if 14 & 48 goes to Bbdep

Should be bedok north since they are really damn close to each other. I also Dk why 34 need dual depot. So short a svc and so little buses, I believe HGDEP can manage. 27's case ah I definitely understand.

carbikebus SG

24,27,36 & 53 dual depot so Loyang BCs start from Airport?How to change duty if there's pax inside?Maybe shifted to ground level terminal?

RyoRennor SG

SBS Transit is fully shifting out of Changi Bus Park when Loyang Re-Opens.

As for airport buses, they are still in planning phase with Changi Airport Group (CAG) to better facilitate bus operations in Airport. They did not build Loyang Depot for nothing. I am also puzzled to see service 34 in the lists of buses that will be trialled for dual-depots.

Cut and copy ah friend?Off topic then Wlbp also let private operators use if there's plan for new bigger Woodlands Depot?

Need some reallocation. 65 can take more CGBP and relieve 4 slots for 2 to start from ARBP. Rest all buses can be BNDEP for sv2. Same way some more swapping can be done with 48 taking 50% duties to Bndep and those empty spots given to Sv 12.

Waiting to see Service_238 with his foot in his mouth. Ditto for SBS&TIBS.

Who said LYBP wasn’t feasible?

iveco SG

What about 174? Can joint control or not?

carbikebus SG

174 also can dual depot as from Soon Lee to New Bridge Rd is quite a distance

Loyang Depot has a Capacity of 1000 buses when its fully completed.

CGP (Changi Bus Park) will be utilised by PBOs (Private Bus Operators) under BSEP.

Loyang Depot is Tendered for 10 years before making a move to the future site near Expo to intergrate fully with the completed Downtown Line. The future depot near Expo will be housed together with Rail & Bus Operations.

Pasir Ris Services will be on trial for the 1st phase opening this June.

Tampines, Pasir Ris, Airport & Changi Village services will fully utilise the Depot.

Can someone clarify clearer what does this phrase "fully utilise the depot" mean? So means all the current PSR, CGA, CGV services that have buses under BNDEP control will now have all their BNDEP buses under fully LYDEP-controlled?

Or does that line mean those svcs mentioned will split the current BNDEP-controlled buses into 50-50 equally among LYDEP & BNDEP?

carbikebus SG

He mean Pasir Ris,Changi Village,Changi Airport & Tampines service will be under Lydep control.Bedok North will only control Bedok,Upp East Coast & Eunos only.

SBS 9631X SG

He mean Pasir Ris,Changi Village,Changi Airport & Tampines service will be under Lydep control.Bedok North will only control Bedok,Upp East Coast & Eunos only.

I see, thanks for the clarification. How many more years does BNDEP have in lease anyway? And wouldn't that leave BNDEP quite "vacant" come LYDEP's opening?

And for those svcs that are gonna be split into 2 depots as mentioned above, does that mean their buses will be split LYDEP/BNDEP in time to come?

Pardon me if I ask uh, I got lost in the words above.

SBS 9631X SG

Loyang Depot will be chaotic due to the traffic conditions there. Builing a secondary road to Pasir Ris Drive 2 will be not be as smooth sailing also.

Would you explain on this statement? As far as I know, they've cleared literally almost all the trees along that stretch to bridge from PSR Dr 2/Dr 3 junction to Loyang Way.

Elevation wise I'm not so sure..because it seems like it's gonna be a really steep drop from PSR Dr 2/Dr 3 that T-junction all the way down to Loyang Way..

dupdup77 SG

Expect very high built-up traffic at this area. Currently, if there is an accident at pasir ris drive 3 near loyang point in the morning 7.30am, traffic will snail crawl all the way from soon-to-be loyang depot to ntuc downtown east and pasir ris interchange. Good luck.

SBS 9631X SG

I think likewise in the opposite direction on Friday afternoons because of the nearby mosque's prayer session, the 2-lane PSR Dr 3 becomes a 1-lane road.

Eh just noticed this... There is a new food Hub next to the Bedok North Depot which means land taken back from BNDEP!?? BN shrink?!??

Bndep will not closed…Eastern areas need 2 mega depots at least.
