Notes and
Justifications :
Q: Why a need for a direct service to boonlay/pioneer?
A: Hopefully some time can be saved for students heading to school/
green personnel going to camp from Yishun/Khatib/North East
side
Q: Sungei Kadut?
A: Yes, Sungei Kadut. Simple reason why is because its the only
efficient way to get into Yew Tee/ CCK Way fast. Also, there is no
previous bus links along CCK Way to anywhere. Bypassing BKE and KJE
at mandai also reduces the risk of heavy traffic turning onto BKE
in peak hours.
Q: Why exit at jalan bahar, and since the service seems to be
targetted at students, why not go into NTU?
A: Going into NTU will probably introduce jams inside the tiny one
laned roads in NTU, therfore its best that other scheduled services
are used, furthermore, not all passengers might be students.
Exiting at jalan bahar will help balance some load off 179 in the
morning, and is probably faster too.
Q: Why not use Brickland road to Boon Lay?
A: Duplication of 180.
Q: Why the odd loop around Boon Lay?
A: I was thinking to end the service at Pioneer, but the nearest
int is at boon lay, so there it goes. Otherwise a loop could also
be a better suggestion, but might have scheduling issues.
Anything i missed out? Thought of this because i stay in yishun,
and takes 1hour 30mins during non peak hours to go to NTU, which is
a little frustrating with 2 transfers. Hopefully this might be
faster and more direct, yet with enough passenger capacity.
Suggestions Welcomed =)
you wont want to take this bus to boonlay from yishun...
