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...

i think a new bus service is going to be introduced via Defu industrial estate. years after sv 323 was withdrawn and these bus-stops disused, new bollards were recently erected at these bus-stops.

Wow, it's coming true now!

SMB128B SG

agree. thats what i feedback to LTA before. i think a new centralised ADD friendly bus hub at CGA is good enough. just build next to CGA MRT stn. pax from all PTB just take skytrain to the bus hub/MRT stn. it can help cut down some buses from every route and improve effciency. also can save manpower by police to man each gantry leading to the existing PTB.

That's what I have suggested here in SGF not so long ago... But some stuck up idiot come and talk absurd and think I must be crazy... Think he must be too spoilt alr, can take first class and roll red carpet at arrival hall and board BMW speed to the city, and don't know how many dozens of poor folks miss bus 27 everyday...

Wow Defu there?Wonder where it starts from?

So this explains the HGDEP BSEP buses remaining spare.

I wrote a feedback regarding this same idea to CAG when they firstly announced about project jewel some months back on this and they mentioned that they would forward this feedback to the project team to look into it.

Project Jewel is the prime location for such an interchange, since it has skytrain connectivity to both T2 and T3 (the skytrain passes through the building) and 5 minutes walking distance from T1. CGA MRT station is right below as well.

Unfortunately from the latest press release in Dec they mentioned that "There will be facilities dedicated to the fly-cruise and fly-coach passenger segment..." and nothing about a transport interchange.

They did mention about it being "a node that improves connectivity between Terminals 1, 2, 3 and the Changi Airport MRT station." though, but not sure in what ways.

It just shows how much SG detests travelling to CGA by bus...

so who is that "Suck up idiot"? u were complaining that time that why the govt never plan properly when they start building the airport in the 1970s.... no one blast abt you asking to build NEW DD friendly terminal...

guess you are that suck up idiot who keep on complaining about sv27.... so tell me how many ppl miss Sv27 everyday since u have all the data and how many mins they have to wait for the next Sv27 bus?

Being quite a regular commuter of 27, the maximum amount of buses that I have ever missed is 3 buses. Because the first bus, which is late, just alighted passengers and left, leaving the next bus, which bunched up behind to pick up passengers. Then the 3rd bus that bunched up arrived behind and skipped the stop, much to everyone's annoyance. But usually you wouldn't be able to board the first bus, because nowadays the commuters of 27 are very smart, all crowd around at the door area so they can board. And when the bus arrive they usually push their way in. Also after 8.30PM, the average frequency of 27 buses is 10-15mins (towards Hougang Int), and the buses are very full.

lemon1974 SG

at least sv27 have such good frequency in addition to those Sv27A buses (and downroute buses) as well..... with good frequency, bunching is unavoidable, esp when the bus are stuck at each bus stop for few mins due to irresponsible passengers who refuse to move in and who insist on standing near the entrance..

and at night time, almost every service have bad frequency......

Well I didn't want to identify him since I don't wanna start a flamewar. But if you want to take up the title then go ahead.

I did mention about CGA's infrasturucture, but I also mentioned about a ground terminal, AT THE VERY SAME TIME. I got a negative response lol.

Please lah, it's already 2013, it's time to move on. I did not expect them to plan at that time, but I wish they can improve NOW. Why T3 still use basement? It's been the 21st century when they planned it.

You very smart right? You always correct right? You go and tell the people to continue cramming into 27 lah. Tell the ground staff they are useless fuckers and don't deserve better transportation lah! Yes 27 is very frequent, but is it CONSISTENT? And you go observe the queue at CGA, and the full loaded buses at SATS kitchen. I DARE you say 27 is enjoyable to ride on.

And btw, what's a suck up idiot?

Hopefully there is a ground open terminal for CGA..Underground basement with height resrtiction and narrow roads is a pain in the ass

ya agree. the T1 bus basement design is pre-1980s and looking at the vast airport development and population increase over the years, the design is already long out-dated. and still must tahan the exhaust fumes when waiting for the bus inside the basement and cross the driveway to and fro which is unsafe. CGA really needs an aircon bus hub. a new bus hub also provide more decent rest place for bus captains and buses to park.

SBS3688Y SG

Wow Defu there?Wonder where it starts from?

any possibility to extend sv 115 to cover Defu and then terminate at HG Ctrl?

Acx1688 SG

Tourists coming to SG are "ENCOURAGED" to get to city via cabs or MRT...

Buses are not that actively promoted due to

1. Public buses no luggage racks
2. To Foreigners, taxis are more affordable as their exchange rate against SGD is stronger
3. Trains/Cabs are faster as they make fewer stops(MRT) than public buses
4. Transfers to other lines are seamless(supposedly)

carbikebus SG

Agreed bro,But the Terminal itself is better situated at T1 coach bays which is more centralised.Project jewel plan is to connect inter terminals between 1, 2, 3.Can also introduced a feeder from the terminal to T4 also

50/50 bro but I feel its better 115 start from Hgdep looping at Hg St 21 via Defu

Bus Stopping SG

Actually truth to be told, buses are actively promoted, just not the public buses.

As a tourist, if you dont want to take MRT there is a hotel transfer option that uses the 9 seater T3 livery coasters/rosa minibus. A direct trip from the airport to the hotel costs just $9 sgd.

Orbinrao SG

It is problem for all

refer to you loh...
