LTA's Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP) (Part 2)

last SG · 2013-12-16T21:55:55+00:00

74 needs BSEP. Loading at AMK MRT is high. Needs more WEG as 3672S to 3676G is fleet replacement. Also AMK MRT, loading is high for all buses. You have 25, 7...

SMB145B SG

964 nope. There is high demand from Woodlands interchange and high demand at Admiralty MRT. 962 can, 964 better start from Woodlands. 963 can.

965/969 cannot. People going friday prayers depends on 965, people schooling at AISS living in Woodlands depend on 965. People going to Chong Pang from Woodlands needs 969 and also those ITE students from Simei depends highly on this bus to get them back to Woodlands/Admiralty.

966 can start from Sembawang, 960 also. 961 better dont, route is long enough. 966/960/963 can enhance connectivity to BPJ, Worst case 171 extend to Sembawang.

The rest must stay

the task here is more to relieve WRI first then Yishun Int

963 Sembawang to HarbourFront?

960 over 171 anyway (renumbered as 840??)

963 Sembawang to HarbourFront?

171 Sembawang to Marina Central?

There is currently no connectivity to BPJ from Sembawang though. People from Sembawang need to go to yishun to take 171 or go woodlands n change.

SMB145B SG

Woodlands North Interchange should take care of Woodlands, and more space at Sembawang should take care of Yishun for now. In future, I believe Simpang will have a bus interchange, so some Yishun services might start from there.

For now, quick fix 39 should be extended to Sembawang. 962/964/963 is a strict no according to me.

I would not touch 857/860 also. Already too much crowd to disturb routing.

852 is an interesting suggesting and worth considering as it will provide new links.

what should go over to Woodlands North from Woodlands Regional?

"i think at one point of time our ministers have zero foresight. "Regional" interchange built way too small for its purpose. Punggol Interchange is also way under its capacity."

39 should be extended. likewise for 852.

i think 960 is a better choice of extending

SMB145B SG

I am concerned about how they are going to manage CCK. BPJ new interchange is not big, nor is Bukit Batok. These towns are growing, and they do not have space for new services, whereas it is most needed here.

Will Tengah be the one to provide relief here? But Tengah according to me will still take few years to develop.

Yew Tee Interchange or Sungei Kadut Interchange? for north of CCK?

39 should be extended. likewise for 852.

39 can loop at Pasir Ris Drive 2 and go back to Yishun coz the main demand is PSR not Tampines. 852 extend or not extend also not much difference. It is a backup svc for 74/851.

my point is to relieve Woodlands and Yishun Interchanges.

TIB 585L SG

my point is to relieve Woodlands and Yishun Interchanges.

39 shld stay at Yishun so does 85, the demand is there. If they want, put 1 SBST bus at SBW. The one that can extend to relieve is 171,852,853 n maybe 855. The rest shld stay at Yishun coz of the demand of those service in Yishun during peak hours.

SMB145B SG

hmm

better than nothing.

SMB128B SG

964 nope. There is high demand from Woodlands interchange and high demand at Admiralty MRT. 962 can, 964 better start from Woodlands. 963 can.

966 can start from Sembawang, 960 also. 961 better dont, route is long enough. 966/960/963 can enhance connectivity to BPJ, Worst case 171 extend to Sembawang.

966 should not.

PLEASE.

Woodlands North Interchange coming up in URA plan...

Actually old Marsiling Terminal SHOULD NOT BE CLOSED...

Now they are setting up a WDL NORTH...

Ironic...

We are beginning to see Towns with 2 bus interchanges(those near MRT stations)... Hopefully it will be a norm soon so as to better distribute out the bus services in the Estate rather than all CF in one central location which may sometimes not be appropriate

Eh noticed dd77 very quiet these few days...

PERHAPS collating info in these threads to report to Michael L?! hehe

171 to Sembawang is a better option. I have proposed it plies CCK to Sembawang, bringing new connections between CCK, BPJ, Yishun and Sembawang. To Sembawang, it should go via Yishun Ave 5 and then Yishun Ave 2, so that it does not disturb the current people there.

"i think at one point of time our ministers have zero foresight. "Regional" interchange built way too small for its purpose. Punggol Interchange is also way under its capacity."

Punggol Interchange is temporary as well - depends what the new plan looks like. For the current # of services, Punggol is okay - can in fact take in 2 more services. But once Punggol West and North develop, there is definitely need for another interchange, which will be at Punggol Matilda.

For which services should got to Woodlands North from WRI, it completely depends on the exact location of Woodlands North interchange.

BusAnalayzer SG

39 should be extended according to me and ply uni-directional DDs from SBST side. This will provide uniqye connections. I agree with the other suggestion here that 39 should loop at Loyang and come back because its route from Loyang to Tampines is redundant.

I would extend 171 as I have stated in my post above. 853/855 should stay at Yishun. 852 according to me can also be extended to Sembawang, because today it is just as a backup service to 851/74/157. If extended to Sembawang, then SMRT has to take care of appropriate fleet deployment and frequency improvement.

BusAnalayzer SG

No way. 960/963/966 should stay at WRI - already long routes. Extending to Sembawang just does not make sense.

Ha ha.. .let dupdup be... it is good if LTA is reading our posts.. i am happy if they are..

last time someone wrote to smrt to enquire why 860 is not a feeder svc since it plies like a feeder service, apparently smrt says there are future extension plans for 860. so im not really sure.

Possible, but 860 extending to Sembawang is a bit unlikely because it is meant to provide connectivity between Yishun MRT and Ring road and Khatib MRT. Khatib MRT comes on Yishun Ave 2, so further extension from there is always a possibility.

carbikebus SG

Leave those 96x svc at Woodlands la..Sembawang can have 171 start from there and shortened to CCK in near future.Can have another svc going to Northeast also.860 also can start from there.Kranji need a new bus terminal.Marsiling imho doesnt need one.
