A terminal at Kranji Stn? Amaciam?

SBS2601D SG

Need one at Poyan river

Ya.

Down there, Master Plan has already demarcated for housing estate.

SBS5011L SG

What would be the routes of these services?

svc 112 - I would suggest no change

svc 113 - HG South Terminal - Upper Paya Laber (loop) or loop at Serangoon Central (extension)

svc 116 - new. no change.

svc 165 - why HG South? svc takes HG Ave 4 & 8, not HG Ave 2

svc 132 - may be a good option, but loses link between HG Int and HG Ave 2 (only 325)

svc 325 - Highly recommended - coz it is weird the way the route is right now. Better to start from Kovan than HG.

325's route is weird because it loops one big round just to get to hougang mall from hougang interchange Which is longer than 113's routing... Plus i can walk to 325's loop point or hougang st 91 in 15mins.. Besides, people prefer to take 74/113/147 to HCI from hg ave 6 instead of 325

The interchange can be outside - does not need to be in the basement.

Ofcourse, Serangoon needs a bigger interchange. Have you even seen it? There is no scope to add any more services there. Just with 7-8 services, interchange is fully occupied.

One problem- There are lots of airplane runways...

How about just building it next to/under the future Terminal 4?

Can raise the height because it's still not really under construction.

Shenton Way Terminal also needs some improvements IMHO.

To add on to my point, the guys at CGA can then close down PTB 3, 1 and 2, and convert them to parking lots or something to that effect. That way they'll advert any parking congestion regardless of the occasion.

Sengkang Int needs brighter lights, as well - that's what I feel. And maybe an air-conditioned YCK Terminal? Think the latter is wishful thinking though.

Originally svc 325 did not ply this extended route. It was extended on dec 2004 for dunno what reason

Can't help much since the services need to ply Terminals 1 to 3 also. Unless there are plans not to do so or to move the bus terminals out of these 3 terminals.

Skytrains.

Think it solves all problems in my opinion. It barely takes 5 minutes.

carbikebus SG

Taman jurong need a terminal

Ghim Moh can close shop and Buona vista need an iinterchange

bukit merah need interchange closer to mrt

BusAnalayzer SG

I agree. The route is weird.

If Kovan ever has an interchange - 325 should originate from there and loop at st 91. Kovan -- HG Ave 2 and continue the route. Withdraw 113 to originate at Kovan as well. 113 will loop at st 11 or can be extended to loop at Serangoon central to provide one more service to Serangoon MRT for HG ave 1 and Lor Ah Soo residents.

Even right now 325 should just take svc 72 route to avenue 4 rather than plying upper serangoon road and hg ave 2. Waste of fuel and resources acc to me.

Buona Vista needs an interchange close to MRT between CCL and EWL. Ghim Moh can be closed as you said and 111, 100 can initiate there. 92 can be extended to Clementi Int via Ullu Pandan road and should loop at Science Park, initiating at Clementi Int.

Bukit Merah Int close to MRT??? Which MRT??? I think Bukit Merah is fine.

Rummi Tunggi Terminal should be re-initiated and services 123, 139, 63 can start from there.

Agreed. The buses do not need to go to each terminal. And then they wait for 10 mins at Terminal 2 basement with passengers on board. Very weird.

May be it made sense in 2004. Def does not make sense now. People want direct service to MRT and have other options to connect from HG Ave 2 to HG Ave 9.

Yes, i hope that terminal 4 has a proper terminal above ground level for 36 to park. 36 and 27 will be good candidate to have dds if terminal 4 is above ground.

but they have to enter t1,2 and 3

carbikebus SG

T4 is merely a budget expansion with no aerobridges but still other leisure or small airlines are not restrict to operate from there.

Can start from t4 also. Got sky train.

this current route is good.

pax who took 25/55/62/854 can switch to 325 at Ave 2 twds Ave 8/st51/buangkok green.

Ave 8/st51/buangkok green residents have a bus to yck rd/hougang 1/hougang pri/sec schs & then a bus back home.

Ave 9/buangkok green residents have a bus to hougang green.

hougang residents have a bus to Ave 10 - to change to 80/87/89 and ave 2 - to change to 25/55/62/854.

very useful service this 325 now. however, 101 gets more residents due to covered link from NEL station & shorter route due to not plying Ave 10.
