Bus transfer hub at TPE/ Punggol Rd exit

Djmeowmeow SG

why does the overhead bridge seem like very far away to the bus stops away from me. trellis tower style bus hub is it?

Exactly my point. 27 has like 27 SDs deployed on it.

18 SD should travel to Changi Terminal, and 9 DD should be permanent and return from Tampines Ave 4/5.. Anyway, the max load is there. That way peak hours the clearance will be very good.

Hmm. What 27 truly lacks is downroute. 27 doesnt ever do downroute except for 27A uh?

In 2007,
Svc 27 have 26 - 28 buses. Now, 32 buses
Svc 88 have 28 buses. Now 24 - 25.
Svc 168 have 15 buses. Now 21

Based from my observation and Sgwiki

what we need is a new service with a broader catchment in the NorthEast area, shoot into Tampines and loop back.

but it is hard due to the layout of Sengkang and Punggol being on each side of the TPE and a very obvious one-way peak direction. too much dead mileage incurred.

can actually introduce/amend a bus service from Sengkang and make a short loop at Punggol before heading to TPE. eg: Sengkang East Rd>Punggol Way>Punggol Central>Punggol Rd>TPE. +several other possible route configurations to merge Punggol & Sengkang....

there are always people who are 'exploiting' the bus uncles who are allowing citizens to board the buses and are waiting for them. many a time i have experienced bus conductors shouting at people to move into the bus, and although citizens may hear it, they will not take action.

then liddat will have more people gathering and cause the whole bus to be overcrowded

Marine parade should upgrade eons ago.Best thing after the exit carpark of PP current one already headache.Should make it 5 bus length and 966 can put WL/AM AM side can simply change duty there w/o having to shut down engine

Change bus have to cross a long bridge...

Haizzz...

This might benefits those people going to Sengkang from Woodlands and find svc 161/965 freq sucks.(Take svc168). Secondly, I think the overhead bridge is extremely far from the bus stop, not user-friendly. Thirdly, will someone send to LTA to simplified their drawings? This looks slightly messy(although it's understandable).

Plus, i think the bus stop should be constructed further down, where 168/39/969/858 don't need to head up..or else you're gonna have a major jam(for buses turning) and perhaps the long stretch of jam at Punggol road.

TIB1218R SG

Currently, 161 and 965 frequency is good..

I seriously hope that 858 and 969 will not serve this stop

BusAnalayzer SG

The only buses that should serve this stop are:

3, 34, 39, 109, 858.

As all the other buses 27, 88, 89, 969 are packed to the door. So increasing the waiting time just doesn't make sense for these buses.

If your judgement is that the four svcs cannot board at these stops, then I would rather the stop not to exist at all.

3 - If you observe this svc, you will find that this svc can be worse than 27 sometimes. Its frequency is terrible enough, and to handle the corwd at Pasir Ris MRT, and other places, it will definitely have no more time left to stop at that stop. Otherwise you will just find 3 in a severe shortage of buses to handle the crowd.

34 - No problem, it's fine for that svc to stop there

39 - Another svc with horrible frequency. It is damn famous for its snail speed at TPE. Plus all that circling around at Pasir Ris, and the MRT crowd, I believe if 39 stop there the schedule will fall behind very much, and that the ride along the expressway will just take unbearably long.

109 - Yet another one with very much a problem. Even after SBS fixed the frequency problem after these years, I STILL have to wait for at least 16 min for this bus, and 13 min at peak hrs. And, yes, in the morning/evening this bus get so damn crowded I seriously think the commuters at the new stops will not be able to even step into the bus. And the citaros - oh yes, the citaros, wonder if the bus goes up and down just for that stop I can imagine how dizzy some ppl can get, especially those sitting on the unbalanced seats facing behind.

858 - The one with ULTIMATELY jialat frequency, the worst among all the svc mentioned above. Look at the queue at CGA. Even dunig off-peak u will find that bus leaving CGA with at least half the bus with standees, leave alone PEAK hours. And yes, by letting 858 stop at that bus stop will make it really unfair for Woodlands residents. Having 858 extended to Sembawang has already made enough trouble for them, want to make it worse?

So in summary, only 34 is suitable to stop there (at least IMO), but what's the point of building a three-bus bus stop for then? This will in fact cause MORE jam at the oredi heavily-jammed Punggol Rd exit during evening peak. LTA, please think about it and just stop making such "mistakes" in the future, u hv made enough oredi.
