77: loop suntec171: merge with 180 to become yis to bnl loop, but im skeptical cuz alot ang moh take this bus from bukit timah to town area...178: cut short...

I feel sv 43 should be extended to Bedok North Depot to use DDs well between Marine Parade and Tanah Merah. The morning and evening peak loading is very high. If you stand at Tanah Merah between 18.00 and 20.00 hours, each bus of sv 48 has around 40-50 pax boarding and the bus is completely packed.

The same is in morning peak from UEC Road and Bedok South Ave 3 towards Tanah Merah. Heavy loading.

The DDs on 43 will help relieve this load. For the missing link on sv 43 between Marine Parade and UEC Terminal, 48 can be diverted back to end at UEC Terminal.

I agree with you on svc 48's [email protected] Merah, but the most practical solution is to add short tips to svc 48 rather than amending svc 43/sv 48.

Apart from that I still do think that another bus is required to provide better connectivity to/from Bedok South Ave 3. I did suggest SBST/LTA to amend (extend) 229 and they replied to me about 'more distance=more cost'...

I'd rather 76 extended to BNDEP and 43 loop @ Marine Tce. 48 can return to UEC.

Bps1 should renumbered 928 start from Bt Panjang loop at CCK all days.

I think DTL2 will kill off BPS1. Also, 171 may be merged with 180 as there is MRT to city from BPJ. Route 67 will serve as anchor up to NEW.

82 & 107 can be merged into a new service 102 (PGL-SWT/Suntec).

857 can be extended to SWT via MBS, if not possible then NBR.

I think with Lor 1 closing down 11,141 & 175 sure tio Sims Place..To Eunos quite okay cause from Eunos can go Geylang without having to cross to Changi Rd mah

With regard to EUN, i think 9 & 35 should start their journey from there. Amendment to these routes should be made through BSEP.

As for 11, I forsee a possible merger with 62.

Svc 9 & 35 (peak hour) loading from 1st-4th bustop are massive, At times, for svc 35, at its 2nd stop (Bef BN Ave 3) it is already 90-95% full. Imagine starting from Eunos.

For svc 11 merging with svc 62, that is more of a possibility.

106/106A: Mrng every time and same place cant board must push here and there, start 106B from Bus stop Blk 283 to bbt loop at MBS, 106E from BBT ends at Shenton skip some useless stops

334: Sometimes really bus bunching here and there.

189: Add 1 or 2 bus to it.

RWS8: take out 1 OC replace with Hispano 405 and mark as WAB.

190: Need more bendies and start 190A/190B from bus stop to ease crowd.

985; no need lots of MANs, used the MANs for 966, 969 busy svc

882: 1Citaro and 1 Lance/Hispano.

187: take out some MANs replace with OCs or Citaros or Hispano or Bus-Plus during Non-Peak Hrs, MANs needed for BPJ/WRI

This sounds more like Your Own Deployment. And take out the MAN from 985 for what? 966 and 969 can get more MAN from WLDEP... 985 is WAB....

74: Close to full fleet double-decks on weekdays with the exception of the 3 x-over slots to 74e.

I'd rather 76 extended to BNDEP and 43 loop @ Marine Tce. 48 can return to UEC.

Why? What difference?

Agree. After DTL there will need to be major rationalization for service 171 and 700. Still there will be 66, 67 in parallel to DTL.

82 and 107 should DEFINITELY be merged.

How about 48?

carbikebus SG

Not so cause in future buses also need to parallel with trains.Look at the amount of train breakdowns here,Still wanna rely 100% with trains?Population is bursting and gahment don't want all squeeze into the trains.

TIB868X SG

yeah agree, need services to duplicate MRT lines, look at the recent NEL breakdown, 133 107 all that suddenly demand go boomz. 65 66 700 67 all that should remain, not sure about 171... can rationalise but people at bukit timah later kpkb

carbikebus SG

Bt Timah not a problem cause mostly all well to do FTs.Yishun to BPJ is essential cannot suka2 cut.Plus there will sure be amendment..

334 got a reason why it bunch during peak hrs

Svc853 SG

Moderators,Kindly change the topic to SBST & SMRT leh...

852 @ 857 to Sbw via Yishun MRT is a great idea too.Wldep/Kjdep for 852 and Wldep/Amdep for 857.825 starts from Amk via YCK MRT loop at lentor also good.Deploy 3 Citaros..Kranji MRT there need a new Svc either from SBST or SMRT.

Bps1 should renumbered 928 start from Bt Panjang loop at CCK all days.

few years ago SMRT was able to use the Dennis Lance buses for 825 because it went to countryside estate from Lentor Rd, but however now 825 has to go through to Lentor Loop end before making a u-turn back to Countryside estate. it maybe hard for the citaro's to go to lentor loop unless: 1. 825 returns to it's old route but making the residents of lentor crescent and lentor street to walk back to lentor road to take 825 or 2. try reversing the citaro's at the end(which however can obstruct traffic in the morning and/or their might be cars parking there making it not possible)

of course this is my personal opinion plus i do live in the area so i seek forgiveness if my opinions are incorrect
