I dun know that 115 is under bsep...

Oh, maybe you should ask our friend SMB128B who can give you a big lecture on how other services cannot get service downgrades because of BSEP, even if they are not under BSEP.

And honestly, I now tend to agree with him, because SBST has not done downgrades to any service in the last 6-8 months as per my knowledge. More than taking out DDs from 163, need to take out buses from 163M that are completely redundant.

BSEP. Services can't be withdrawm.

These services are introduced before BSEP existed and if they are not bound to provide good services why shouldn't they be withdrawn?

SMB128B SG

Because LTA does not approve of withdrawing them.

See, that's what you get under a dictatorship PT system.

Yes 115 by right should be withdrawn together with 68 in 2008, but it was spared out due to residental feedback I guess

It was more political. If residents find this service so useful, why is it always empty? Why has the frequency not improved? Why are more buses not added? I have seen 115 bus with 7-8 pax on board for full journey.

I think LTA prefers to keep the status quo as much as possible, allowing duplicating/redundant bus routes like 115 and 163M to remain to avoid complaints about loss of bus connections. Long bus routes are also left alone despite some talk about cutting them up, back when LTA just took over centralised bus planning.

On the other hand, for areas with weak bus links eg Yew Tee, Sembawang, LTA has not made any amendments or new routes (so far) and is satisfied with most areas having a bus connection to the nearest MRT/bus int/shopping centre.

Withdrawing 163M does not really affect Fernvale residents that much as there is still a 163 to depend on. As 163M is just another route running parallel together with 163 from Sengkang to Fernvale only.

But I think instead of withdrawing 163M, it will be better if 163M schedule can be adjusted to run only at late nights or during peak hours on weekdays. Whereas during the daytime make use of the buses to run on full 163 route instead.

Maybe this new feeder 371 should merge with 163M (similar to old 371 route) to form a new Townlink service 371 in Sengkang

The first Townlink in the north-east.

Extend it. Keep the existing portion as the looping point.

No need for such a service... Complete waste of resources... 163 already caters to Punggol road, so does 372. There is also 85 that almost serves both east and west of Sengkang. There will be very few pax taking this service.

Yes should be extended to Defu Ave and should start from HG int via Kovan MRT or start from HGDEP and loop at Kovan via Defu.

carbikebus SG

I think 115 might start from Hgdep looping at St 21...
