410G or W?

410G or W?

410W needs to make a u-turn to get to Shunfu Rd.

Seriously not going to be easy to find a maximum loading critical stretch for Sv 99 for a SWT.

What I think can be done instead is varient service.

99 can be splitted up.

SBS1985C SG

99 can be splitted up.

Speaking of splitting up routes, townlink routes could be split up too with distance fares.

Thanks 9818 for the details.

sbst275 SG

99 can be splitted up.

how to split up?

It's alrdy a neighbourhood service.

As for Townlink, I dun think it's good to split it up just because of DBTF wo. Like tis add more prob on top of the hybird feeder svs like 3, 38, 60.

My rationale is because of the uneven loading along some parts leading to bunching and affecting the frequency along the other sectors.

Edd1 SG

So which town is getting the first LTA bus service review? Any idea?

maybe Clementi..possible or Jurong or maybe Sembawang

sbst275 SG

Can't do much for 99.

Because I dun think it's makes sense to add more buses onto Jurong East/ West Ave 1.

SBS7485P SG

the issue w sv99 is mainly at jurong west ave 1, boon lay pl and jurong west st 91.

sv99 should be split to form two routes. issue is lack of capacity at int, LTA doesnt see the need to increase such infrastructure.

sv99 Jurong East to Boon Lay

Follow sv99 routing to Boon Lay Pl from there following 240 to Boon Lay Int

sv102 Soon Lee Bus Park to Jurong West St 52 (Loop)

Soon Lee Rd
Pioneer Rd North
Jurong West St 91, 92, 91
Follows sv99 routing to Boon Lay Pl
Boon Lay Dr
Corporation Rd
Boon Lay Way
Jurong West St 52
Jurong West Ave 1
Corporation Rd
follows sv99 routing to Jurong West St 91
Pioneer Rd North
Soon Lee Rd

now with DBTF it is getting passengers to make transfers. affected passengers will be those on the clementi to jurong east sector but i'm afraid these have to be affected as the loading is not comparative to the other sectors and a likely solution would probably be amending another route to ply this sector.

not true

DBTF ought to be reducing tavelling time if transfers gives benefit not simply an exercise to remove all bus svs.

For any of these places, it's going to hamper 198, 240, 241 like siao. esp during peak hours.

no. the issue with sv99 is poor headway and adherence to running of trips simply due to its long route and bus bunching due to uneven loading. once one bus meets with a sudden heavy loading will spark a vicious cycle of bunch very long waiting time bunch very long waiting time bunch. as such, to provide passengers with reliable services, routes should be splitted up, although this means passengers would need to make transfers, it would improve on service reliability.

my suggestion will in fact improve the loadings of these abovementioned services. 240 has very bad loadings to begin with. my sv99 and 102 as above will improve lakeside-boon lay place-boon lay int loading issue.

There's some issues over Sv 99 tat I'm not going to mention it openly. Best kept within to those ppl who knows wat's going on.

1 issue tat I can mention openly abt Sv 99 is the student crowd. Delays because they simply refuse to move in.

I've ever say a close to total empty upper deck yet lower deck packed like sardines. That's where the delay comes from as bus entrance door can't close.

There's a clear cut of where the erratic headway comes from.

sbst275 SG

For those students, you split the bus route is not going to improve anything, and worst bus stop turnaround time might increase with more buses.

It's not condusive for either peak or off peak.

JaSoNhSu92 SG

i think Sv 99 got downroute to jurong west st 91(i think) during weekdays morning. like 8am+ liddat. cannot be going back to bbdep as some of them is spotted at PIE between bt batok east ave 3 and jurong town hall rd(towards tuas) with destos fliped over.

Merczrox SG

No wonder i saw a kub training along Serangoon North Ave 5 yest..

these are most heavy demand sectors if i observed correctly.

for students studying in Boon Lay Sec: from Clementi > Jurong West Ave 4

for those in Fuhua/Hong Kah/Yuhua Sec: from Jurong West St 91 > Ave 1

Sv 99 is like only serving the western sector, i dont see the need to split it up.

SBS7485P SG

well if you insist the route should not be split up. extension from jurong west st 91 to soon lee would be ideal. simply because as a long loop svc, it is very likely to cause erratic headway. sv63 and 64 are other fine examples.
