if the site is at Ghim Moh Road - near/next to Ghim Moh Bus
Terminal, then I think Buona Vista Bus Terminal should just remain
at where it is and be converted into a bus interchange - similar to
Yio Chu Kang Bus Terminal.
because the current site is so much more well-connected to the
roads than the possible site at Ghim Moh Road. as in, it is more
central. if at new site, there may be bottlenecks at the section of
Commonwealth Avenue West near it, because all the buses have to
turn into Ghim Moh Road from Commonwealth Avenue West before it
enters the proposed site.
To think about it, it seems that Buona Vista area does not have
Town Centre.
if want to have new Buona Vista bus interchange, might as well
also build town centre along with it.
I personally feel that the site bounded by Rochester Drive,
Vista Exchange Green and North Buona Vista Road is more central and
more suitable to have Buona Vista Bus Interchange, for at least a
few reasons:
-the location is more central
-connected to more roads - won't have bottlenecks.
-if relocated to there, it can shortern routes 74, 91, 191 and
200. meanwhile, routes 32, 145 and 185 wil be shorterned by a
little bit. I think only route 48 will become longer as a
result.

Hopefully it gets a renovated interchange close to Vista with
direct underpass to MRT. Can combine Gim moh and Bnv terminal
services. Though there will be need to extend one of the services
to go to Gim moh estate apart from Sv 92. I would prefer it to be
Sv 200 rather than Sv 100 or Sv 111.
