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

Scania N113CRB luver SG

Just joking. =)

Anyway, it might be the most unwanted reality if Downtown Line opens.

Bukit Panjang LRT will start making profits if they can manage to push CCK people to board the MRT and Bukit Panjang people to board LRT.

There's 975 by the way at the interchange. No need to board 67.

Sekali 975 kena shorten to CCK.

But lets say if this really happen, SMRT better make sure the LRT is in top condition. Later one day break down the link between CCK and BP is gone then complains and hot heads will start all over again.

Scania N113CRB luver SG

It will duplicates DTL2 from Bukit Panjang to Newton, then duplicates NSL from Newton to Dhoby Ghaut, then duplicates CCL1 from Dhoby Ghaut to Esplanade.

I hope that when DTL2 opens, service 171 will be cutback to become: Yishun - Bukit Panjang and then either merges with service 172 with a slight route change in Choa Chu Kang or merges with service 180. This new merged service will become: Yishun - Boon Lay.

In that case, if 190 is cut back as well, DTL2 will sure become heavily packed. Dont forget its just 4 carriage per train. Its about the total load of 190 + 171 + 700.

I never trusted these fully automated systems. There are bound to be breakdowns some day. If theres not even a bus service between BP and orchard and only the MRT is available, any breakdown would surely cause chaos. Cant imagine if the stretch between Newton and BP all spoil. Free bus from Newton to BP?

...and duplicating service 23?

may not duplicate 23. 67 can instead use tampines then normal route out to bedok north ave 3, into the PIE from there

Where did you get the info that DTL will be using 4-carriages train?

There's still service 170 from Newton station to Bukit Panjang station. I don't think this service will be affected by DTL, because the other 2 operators will be smiling if service 170 no longer terminates at Queen St.

gorby107 SG

Hmm, how come SBST didn't think about extending 107 all the way to PGL considering this is the only suburb with no bus to CBD? 82 can function like another 882. The idea of merging 97 and 130 is also worth some thought.

There was consideration of extending Sv 107 to Punggol a few years back as heard from one of the perm BC. But the idea was called off.

I felt that run time for service 107 can be improved especially during off - peak hours.
Most of the time, most BCs will drive an average speed of 35 - 45 km/h throughout the journey except for those S-shifts BCs. If they want to drive at a fast speed, they may delay around 5 mins which may cause the waiting time to be even longer.
If the run time is improved, NE people can consider taking that service to town besides the MRT.
This is what I think/feel

iveco SG

Add on 67, it travels parallel along DTL 2 from Bt Panjang to Little India. Currently it is oso travelling parallel wif EWL from Kallang to Bedok too. For this, will suggest tat either 67 or 171 would be affected. Remembered the old 182 under tibs was withdrawn due to duplication.

700 should be withdrawn and merged with 190 which will be diverted to ply along Petir Rd. Pax can still depend on 960 to get to Marina Ctr from Bt Panjang though.

67 can be covered by 65 between LTI and TAM. Affected pax can take 66 to get to MacPherson, Ubi and BDK Reservoir from LTI. 21 can provide cover between TAM and Kaki Bukit.

Don't touch 170. That one links SG and JB CBDs.

sbst275 SG

170 can stay esp if MRT pai

phillipC SG

High chances Sv 170 will be affected if DTL is in operations.

Ranger123 SG

High chances Sv 170 will be affected if DTL is in operations.

Also not forgetting that Queen Street Terminal shall be closed due to the plan for a centralised bus terminal for coaches.

if it closes, SJE n CW2 will have to go as well

so i believe Queen St Ter will stay

If Queen Street is to close, then extend and let it terminate at Marina Centre. That way, it give access for passengers to Suntec Area and City Hall area.

Extension route will be as the following:

Bukit Timah Rd (Little India Station)
Ophir Road (opp Rochor Centre)
North Bridge Road
(Parkview Square)
(Opp Parco Bugis)
(Opp Bras Basah Complex)
Bras Basah Road
(Raffles Hotel)
Temasek Boulevard
Os Suntec Convention Centre
Temasek Ave
Opp Millenia Tower

then it will terminate there lor..

Back to Larkin Terminal
Raffles Ave
Bef Temasek Ave
Seating Gallery
The Esplanade

Victoria Street
Allison Hotel
Opp Bugis Junction

Then follow the original route from Rochor Rd

You should see the current situation at Marina Centre now, unless the terminal moves to the carpark behind the Pit Building..

What if Marina Centre terminal close as well? Where will the service go?

SBS7382C SG

What if Marina Centre terminal close as well? Where will the service go?

shenton way?

sbs&tibs SG

shenton way?

Either become loop service. If suggesting these services to terminate at Shenton Way, then they should ply Marina Centre area for the return direction since that was the place where the original demand was, just like 961 serving there twice.

106 could be made a loop service to increase its demand. It will not just be a service bringing people to suntec, it will also bring people back from suntec. Probably this wasn't initiated because of 111 existence. Making 106 loop at Suntec isn't considered very long for the total journey anyway. I am making a comparison to 502 and 857.

The designer for suntec probably didn't consider the traffic flow at suntec during high seasons. 2 lanes, and the cars queued long long.. Can't expect too many services to serve suntec unless someone knows how to regular the traffic flow.

Future Bus Interchange / Terminal to be built at International Cruise terminal.

demag_ac SG

shenton way?

This Terminal will be close down as well.

The current terminal being built under Marina Coastal Expressway C481 is to replace the existing one under South Quay Viaduct that is affected by the expressway work.
