Idk if this is off topic anot.. but I think hougang st 21 food
centre bus stop (ex-hougang south bus interchange) should be
converted to an A/C road side terminal/bus stop. Better for buses
112,113,115,119. Sv 115 BC suay always have to run to shopping mall
toilet or coffeeshop toilet for toilet break. As for 113, 113A can
start from there, minimising U-turn time wastage. Queue berths shud
also be set up. Let's see the queues how long. Same for KKKL
express commuters.
I do agree that Kovan/Hougang St 21 should have a roadside
terminal. No need for AC terminal, just parking bay for 3-4 buses.
This will not be too expensive.
This terminal can be useful to improve connectivity and modify
routes such that more people will benefit. The first route that
should be diverted to this terminal is sv 325. It
can start at Kovan and go to HG Ave 2 and continue its route. The
current loop around HG Ave 2 to HG Int is almost a waste. For
people along that stop, can take 132 anyway.
With this change, 113 should be edited to ply Kovan to Serangoon
via HG Ave 1 and Lor Ah Soo. This will improve frequency of 113 by
a huge extent and provide commuters another alternative to
Serangoon.
115 can be scrapped, don't think the minister will again create
an issue around it. If they want to keep it, they should edit it to
ply Defu Ave to cater to the industrial estate and bring back to
Kovan MRT. Loop service terminating at Kovan/HG St 21 terminal.
Then, should also add 2-3 buses to cater to Defu Ave peak load.
