Bus service enhancements for Bukit Merah Estate

last SG · 2014-08-13T13:50:20+00:00

Also if u noticed, Services 120-124 are all Telok Blangah Estate services and somehow form a route group already You never know... they might just introduce...

phillipC SG

good idea for LTA and SBST they made more money from the people who live there. instead of take 131 from point A to make a half an hour visit to friends or shops at point B then take back 275 which has distant fare charge and pay less, now has to pay more. i afraid it going to be a going plan to has M added to service that is the same route as the feeder bus and remove the feeder bus service as feeder bus service make less $$$ for LTA and bus operators. 163M another example LTA can has a feeder service but it don't.

Govt tactic sucks you until dry dry

I think LTA will make more money by withdrawing bus services from your place, if that is really what you think.

After all Econs 101 (aka common sense) will tell you that if you wanna make money, you increase profit or reduce loss.

Nobody in LTA is bo liao enough to work hard for people like you to suan for no good reason.

BusAnalayzer SG

Seriously!? Why such a hue and cry on a service like 275? So many ppl here before also suggested to merge with 131 and remove s275. Have you observed loading? Seriously?

Go and do survey of Bukit Merah Interchange, and you will see off-peak buses leave interchange with 2, 5, 8 pax on consecutive buses. There will be one bus after 3 buses where there can be double digit loading during off-peak. And with 131 still being there, what is the fuss about?

We keep saying we don't want LTA to waste money on stupid services, and 275 was one of them.

ah-soh SG

I wonder whether they have the intention to introduce a new service which links Bukit Merah Int and Harbourfront via Jln Bt Merah/Lower Delta Rd/Kg Bahru Rd or via Henderson Rd/Telok Blangah Rd? 57 and 131 makes a big round to go to Harbourfront and needless to say on 123 in which no one except joyriders will take this service from Bt Merah to Harbourfront and ivce versa.

SO WHAT DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A VALID TRANSFER?

The following do not qualify as valid transfers:

Got a feeling 131M is under Arbp..

Under Distance Fares, the rules are:

Who would transfer between 131 and 275? both have the same route, no need to transfer.. Did not get the point you are making.

BusAnalayzer SG

You do have 145 that is direct from Henderson Road (Bukit Merah). You have 65 that is direct from Lower Delta Road to Harbourfront. You have 855 that is direct from Jalan Bukit Merah to Harbourfront. On top of it you have new services 120/121 providing better connectivity to Tehlok Blangah estate. You have 123/124 extended to Harbourfront.

I think there needs to be NO more new services to this area. Need to focus on others now.

iveco SG

BMR to HBF can take 855 from Jln Bt Merah (Outside Redhill Close Estate)

iveco SG

No point la bro unless 131 is full Arbp

buses from 275 can go over to 131M easily

carbikebus SG

Should have a service ply the old css 608 routes from Havelock to Bt merah..

Please read this: You missed my point.

BusAnalayzer SG

I initially thought 121 will do this road... but no.. this means LTA not interested to ply bus service on the narrow street... and wants ppl either to take service from Ganges or Tiong Bahru.

sgbuses SG

buses from 275 can go over to 131M easily

A pattern is starting to appear:

179 and 179A

123 and 123M

143 and 143M

131 and 131M

859, 859A and 859B

It is obvious what the PTOs are trying to do.

Got a feeling 131M is under Arbp..

I have the same feeling too... All the services at Bukit Merah are under ARBP, with the exception of 131 and 153. Wouldn't make sense for 131M to be under BRBP...

But depends if the buses are crossover from 131. Then it will be BRBP.

23ispolo SG

What is obvious?

Introducing new supplementary/SWT services alongside their parent services... Seems like they want to take passengers off the overcrowded parent services.
