Introduction of Service 284M

last SG · 2009-06-19T08:58:23+00:00

They inverted the routes alr. 284 should ply MRT while 284M should not. This is to cater those ppl working to serve them to the MRT to take MRT to work, sinc...

A little bit too late? Clementi New Interchange opening end of this year?

Anyway, I feel they have the intention to scrap 284 sooner or later.

Actually I think they should merge 284 into 282.

lianamaster SG

they better be gone soon

might as well just re-label into another number. got all these lettering damn confusing. if got short trips variants, A will do, but not all these.

Yea.... they are giving me headaches... each have their own mini-routes and separate timings.

The main objective of this service is to cater residents from Ave 4 to the central conveniently without walking from ave 4 to the central. More or less is to fully utilised Sv 284. Not a bad idea but abit wierd in my opinion.

yes a bit late. the amendment is to due to the longer distance and road crossing required to reach ntuc from the temp int compared to the old int.

oh ic. I get it now. If the new int is opened, does it mean 284M will be withdrawn ?

btw, it's a gd idea if they merge 284 with 282... the return trip to int got "T" desto at the front

A wierd route.

Was wondering if the route was made this way:
Clementi Int > Clementi Ave 3 > MRT > Clementi Ave 4 (U-turn) > MRT > Clementi Ave 3 > Clementi Int

not possible due to road issues

.SBS9888Y. SG

should amend this way.

ave 3 clementi int
ave 3 ntuc
ave 2
ave 5
ave 4 (loop)
ave 5
ave 2
cwealth ave west clementi stn
ave 3 clementi int

current 284m ppl stop nearer empty handed while loaded with groceries and stuff and walking further when heading home. what logic.

sbst275 SG

Like this, Sv 282 can just skip and serve West St 2 directly liao unless they want to keep e neighbourhood connection

ngjy22 SG

the route is this
Int > Ave 4 (Loop) > NTUC > MRT > Int

jayh272416 SG

not possible due to road issues

can amend the junction to allow bus to turn only.

sbst275 SG

can amend the junction to allow bus to turn only.

not possible cos of 3 reasons

1) Bus stop is too near to e junction for buses to filter right esp since traffic vol is high

2) Clementi Ave 3's 'island junction' has only 1 lane for traffic towards Ave 4, hence it would face difficulty in turning if there's vehicles in e 'island'

3) The turning might impede smooth traffic flow

townlink 282?

azharjj SG

townlink 282?

sorry, i shldnt say "T" plate at the the 1st place. It's something like for eg svc 60 with putting red or white plate since plies at Bedok reservoir 2 times (the "C" road)

I was thinking the bus should actually do a few rounds of 284M before terminating, this would solve the problem of cannot go home from NTUC. Passengers are allowed not to alight at the int. Terminating trips just put the T-plate as mentioned.

Think the BC also happier no need every trip go up and down the bus

azharjj SG

thats why i was thinking how do the shoppers after their groceries would go home to ave 4...

sbst275 SG

maybe just make it this way la

Clementi Ave 3 -> Clementi Ave 2 -> Clementi Ave 5 -> Clementi Ave 4

284M route is a bit funny, it will mean that residents there will take longer time to reach Clementi Int/MRT station, though benefit those going to NTUC. It's like so near yet so far.

Cheers.

As mentioned, start from NTUC, go into Int[solve the traffic issue] Ave 4, NTUC again
Makes more sense for shoppers to board to return to Ave 4,if nt sv284M is a joke...

Agree. Go NTUC 1st, then Ave 4. Cos they'll need to buy things home right? But come to think of it, there's no right turn into Ave 4 after MRT station right?

Cheers.

I suggested an improvement to the route:

Service 284M suggested route

Interchange

Ave 4 - Blk 315/318 > Blk 308 > Blk 376

Ave 3 - opp interchange* > NTUC Fairprice

Ave 2 - Blk 334

Ave 5 - Blk 335

Ave 4 - Blk 315/318 > Blk 308 > Blk 376

Interchange

* New bus stop

Plates display at the front windscreen to inform passengers along Ave 4 where the bus is heading to.
