Actually this is curious news. And it can be read in a few ways.

For starters, LTA has signalled to the PTOs that what has traditionally been their domain, is no longer viewed thus. We have always thought: Who will replace/complement the 2 PTOs when the barriers to entry are so high? It seems that LTA views this as a good opportunity to prove you guys wrong and is beginning to experiment beyond just a few Premium routes.

2. Despite having purchased so many BSEP buses, these still seem less than adequete for aggressive service expansions. Either that, or the PTOs still lack drivers.

hold back a little... SBS ever let private operators run some busy bus route's slot back in 1980. But the private operators decided not to continue after the given period... cos not making money...

I remember scheme B buses running on routes 32, 61, 149 & 157. Those PH buses were still operating on route 149 even after it was merged with route 31 in 12/93.

As I mentioned above, this seems the most bizzare thing introduced till now by LTA. They could just add BSEP buses to these services if they feel the frequency is not right and demand is more - anyway there are so many spare Citaros and WEGs. Why not deploy them on these services first rather than now bringing in private operators?

I think LTA is trying to over-please the public and "show" that they are doing a lot but I am not in favor of so many more buses on roads causing traffic jams around MRTs.

I was just wondering this:

Why don't LTA get private operators to run the express/premium routes that SBST/SMRT are running at peak hours? Services like 513, 850E, 951E, 971E, etc. all can be run by the private operators, using the "City Direct" concept. And then all those BSEP (or non-BSEP) buses can be used to run these feeder short services instead. Then there will be no confusion since the private operators run the express/premium routes, and the public operators run the feeder/trunk routes.

What was LTA thinking when they came up with this (crazy) idea?

Is 972 the new route in the LTA post a month back regarding service in Bukit Panjang? If you want to share details atleast share properly.

SMRT/LTA should launch new service from BPJ/CCK to Sungei Kadut Industrial area along CCK Way and Sungei Kadut Dive, where 925 does not ply.

This whole area is not serviced by SMRT. SMRT also needs to improve sv 925 like SBST improved 78/79. These routes have been so successful after massive fleet add and upgrade by SBST.

Just goes to show that people have moved to sv 78/79 with the extended fleet.

from LTA webbie

"By the end of 2013, two more new services will be implemented to further improve connectivity in areas like Taman Jurong and Bukit Panjang. Details of these new bus services are being worked out. We will provide more information closer to the implementation dates."

the new 972 is for BP i think while for taman jurong.... hmm

SBS 7603R SG

so 972 starts at the west is it?

User Thomas posted that he has info on sv 972. Considering that LTA published that there will be a BPJ service, I assume this should be the one. Considering 970 and 971E are both BPJ services also, 972 could also be.

Only wondering what the route of 972 would be?
