today's 20/06/09 Wanbao

Apparently Joo Koon, Boon Lay & Kranji are listed as potential sites

But Boon Lay has bigger potential given e fact there's a big bus park available once BNL Int moves back

tuas ter was supposedly suppose to have services to jb. but apparantly it became a failure cos it is too far and too out of touch from the whole of singapore.

maybe not anymore when MRT extended to Tuas ? but then it will be like 5-10 yrs time...

Very unlikely that they will give up a big piece of prime land for express bus terminal. They have been talking about this for god know how many years. If they really wanna build 1 terminal, they would have done so like way back in the 90s. No need to wait till now.

the thing, the whole day ppl up there in admin dun even bother abt it

They're willing to let it make Beach Rd haphazard but not atas Turf City in Bt Timah though it's spacious.

This matter still has to be resolved if we wants to be good for tourism market..

The thing is that..

Even if they wanan set the place over at Truf City in Bt Timah, there wouldnt be much passengers who wants to use it. Afterall, the place is not as accessible as compared to the current Golden Mile. This is the reason on why majority of the bus operators chose to stay in Golden Mile instead of moving over to Turf City.

The thing is that..

That place can be redeveloped as in move it nearer to Eng Neo Ave tat side.. need not to be inside Turf City itself

DTL would be there too

To give e real picture, the Turf City thing was shot down by govt citing traffic issues

IMO it is not a good idea to have a centralised coach terminal near a HDB estate.

I would prefer it to be build in places like Kranji etc.

That means that all express buses operating from Singpore to Malaysia starting from all over Singapore will start from Boon Lay Interchange.

Lavender Street & Kallang Bahru- Malacca Buses, Transtar & Transnasional

Golden Mile Complex - Sri Maju, Alisan,Grassland, Five Stars etc.

Golden Mile Tower - Konsortium & 707

The Plaza - First Coach & Union

Habourfront Centre - AeroLine

Copthorne Orchid Hotel - Nice & Odyssey

ParkRoyal Hotel - 88-Lapan Lapan & Suasana Edaran

IMM Building - Causeway Link Express

Far East Plaza - Airebus

Textile Centre - Eltabina Express

Kovan Hub - Citi Exchange

Therefore will all this Express Buses will starts together in Boon Lay Int??

I doubt all will gather there, will be quite messy.

I don't think so. You can see all buses mostly in the morning and night only whereby most buses move out of Singapore to Malaysia. Evening is where most buses entering singapore to pick-up passengers at night to malaysia.

IMHO, Kovan can also be another M'sia Express Hub as there's still plenty of loading and parking space for them. Beach Road is a bit too squeezy, causing traffic congestion sometimes.

Cheers.
