Pretty boring update this round I'd say.

Transit Network Consortium

Application to operate a peak hours Premium Bus Service between Sin Ming Avenue and Marymount MRT Station rejected due to non-compliance with the PBS guidelines

o.O, after the cherry bus one failed so horribly. these guys dare to try that route...too bad it was rejected :o

^tamago^ SG

i think they only wanted a peak hr only sv while cherry bus was running a daytime service...

sbst275 SG

Big chunk to HBF/ PSA Bldg if there's anything new to go by

For the past applications, SBST also haven proceeded with so many of the amendment/new service such as 232/76/117/113/119/170e/41? etc etc etc... did they just try to apply first then decide whether to really implement?

think it has got to do with the opening of the right turn into lorong 5.

the route should be lor 6 -> east -> lor 5 (new turn) -> follow current route from what i see.

to help on the load of sv 238 as well?

to help on the load of sv 238 as well?

oh yes definitely. Seen many times 238 cant clear the load at Blk 27. However, if 235 were to serve Lor 6 bi-directional it would defeat the purpose of ppl living at lor 5 from getting home fast. Ever since the 10-min rule for feeders kicked in, the ridership for 235 had been growing.

However, there's a new pair of bus stops at Blk 30. and hope SBST dont just apply and let it lapse again.. the proposed 232 amendment lapsed already...

imo it wont affect the travel time too much. lor 6 vs lor 4 its just probably a few mins difference. in addition if 235 is amended as such there probably will be fleet add? due to the heightened demand. so in exchange for the longer route theres a shorter waiting time. sounds fair to me.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

It'll make travelling time longer for existing people just to serve that 2 bus stops. I rather that 232 is converted to a bi-directional service. At least it can benefit some of the existing commuters.

Btw, how come SBST didn't need to apply for the recent amendment of the premium routes?

applied but did not appear in the list.

sbs8104h SG

i prefer 235

TIB1234T SG

So, this time round nothing from SMRT?

jayh272416 SG

for 235's case its a trade off. Longer route but its likely the headway would be shortened due to the likely increase in demand. Besides the two stops isnt that long anyway XD

^tamago^ SG

i think some of the new premium will use the service numbers of former cityshopper routes.

Junyang700 SG

Anybody has any idea about central bus route planning by LTA?

Heard they were going to implement sometime like this year, but seems like this plan has been shelved? Or am I missing something out?
