PTC's List of bus service applications for Nov 08 to May 09

SBS8131D SG

I think they intend to introduce 241 to cover St 62 as well. But since 243 is eft untouched, amending 241 to St 62 isn't necessary as 257 can bring people to and fro Pioneer Station.

But then 257 might be shortened to Joo Koon Terminal in the future?

SBS8131D SG

oh u mean the route is like this:

Amended 243
BNL
243G route
pioneer rd nth (nvr turn left to ave 4 but go straight instead like 179)
st 63 (pass by Pioneer MRT)
st 61
st 62 (bus-stops where svc 257 stops right)
BNL

It shall be something like this:
Boon Lay Int, Jurong West St 64, St 75, St 82, St 81, Ave 5, Pioneer Rd North, Jurong West St 63 (Pioneer MRT, Loop), St 61, Ave 4, Pioneer Rd North, Jurong West Ave 5, St 81, St 82, St 75, St 64 and Boon Lay Int.

As for the deleted sector in JW St 62, it could be replaced by the amended 241. As for the deleted sector of 241 in JW St 63, it is served by 179 (and 255, but I wonder whether it will be shortened to Joo Koon Term in the future) so it shouldn't be a problem should 241 amended to ply JW St 62 and 61.

I don't think the supposed amended 243 will ply St 62 in any directions.

sbs&tibs SG

I expect the supposed amended 243 to skip Ave 4 and Pioneer Rd North towards the Int. It should go straight up to St 81 from St 61. It looks wierd to serve Ave 4, Pioneer Rd North and Ave 5 on th direction back to Int.

It was due to some oppositions and SBST decided not to amend 243 to Pioneer. I agree that 241 could be amended, since there's there's 179 and 255 to coverthe stretch along St 63.

tranquilice SG

There is a demand for svc11 unless SBST improves frequency of sv16 to 4mins headway if not, it is ridiculous since Circle Line nt yet to Stadium...
sv11 introduced when sv31 amended to end at TPY

Service 11 already existed when service 31 was looping at Kallang Sports Complex. In 1993, service 31 and service 149 integrated to become the present service 31.

tranquilice SG

did they try 2 withdraw 178 also?

No. They only wanted to withdraw service 852 back then.

sbst275 SG

Sv 852 then 985... what next?

didn't e SMRT CEO talked abt profitable bus rts? There are passengers who needs e link and she wants to cut it off.. kill off e 'profits' she talked abt?

if 241 is amended, the journey time would be extended.

SBS8131D SG

if 241 is amended, the journey time would be extended.

But then if 257 is going to shortened to Joo Koon Terminal (If the plan for a bus terminal there is still around) and 243 is going to skip the St 62 sector after route amendments there will be no bus services in that sector so it is OK for 241 to amended to ply St 62 and 61 instead of the whole stretch of St 63 in which it is served by 179 also (and 255, but then 255 might be shortened to Joo Koon Term as well).

sbst275 SG

Honestly, 243 ought to be kept as it is for e sake of neighbourhood linkage although if the amendment goes through, it'll help in the BNL Int.

But thing is, how much can PNR bus stop handle?

wsy1234 SG

SMRT can try to amendment the service 985 to serve Toa Payoh, Ubi, Eunos and Kaki Bukit where there is demand for the service compare to Kallang where there is no more factories and low demand. of cos it will rival SBS 8,59 and 506 but SBS already taking some passenger from SMRT trian service from this 3 services.

SBS can try to amendment the service 11 with the meger of 401 to serve kallang leisure park, east coast park and kallang MRT station during the weekend and weekday service start from friday.

azharjj SG

sbst275 SG

I forsee the next SMRT bus service proposed to be shortened would be 167 to Shenton Way

Junyang700 SG

I forsee the next SMRT bus service proposed to be shortened would be 167 to Shenton Way

After which will be shortening for 190 to Bukit Panjang.

So that Choa Chu Kang residents take MRT to Orchard.
And Bukit Panjang residents DIE DIE must take LRT to Choa Chu Kang.

sbst275 SG

I totally disagree 190 will cutback to Bukit Panjang.. those ppl who want to take from BPJ to CCK had to walk to upp bukit timah road & board 67..

At the start of introduction of 190 in 1988, this service plies from Bukit Panjang to New Bridge Rd.

SBS7382C SG
