SMRT Numbering System

last SG · 2009-04-14T03:56:30+00:00

the present numbering is fine enough, don't need the fuss

scaniaB7RLE SG

I suggest that some services in Sembawang should be renumbered:-

Service 980 service 880
Service 981 service 881
Service 167 service 887
Service 859 service 889

Since there's already a service 882

hmmm looks like a mirror to my suggestions....

Is the so-called 'arrow' moving at the EDS? :)

The >> is not moving.

[>>700 Destination Terminal]

when it refreshes

[>>700 >>RAPIDBUS] or [>>700 RAPIDBUS]

so far this is the only route number i remember for an EDS that has a special icon beside it (>>) until the arrival of the Coolair EDSes and the FastForward logos.

The >> is not moving.

[>>700 Destination Terminal]

when it refreshes

[>>700 >>RAPIDBUS] or [>>700 RAPIDBUS]

The bus stop plate also >>700

SMB32T SG

Suggest:-

187 967
178 968

With this renumbering the WRI services will look more organised.

SMB32T SG

since 700 is odd one out, maybe suggest 971.

75 also.

re numbering bus services

of coourse this is not a realistic idea as it will cause confusion among commuters. u wake up one day taking 21 for your generation of your life then suddenly they change svc21 to svc 4?! of course the older folks will go oh thats better, brings back my memroies and this is good.

but for others, they will go. whats this svc 4? huh? where my 21?

Although renumbering shd be taken in a mor fantasy look among us bus fans, whereby the mian aims

1) make it more uniform among bus svc no

2) to renumber bus svcs nos back to reflecting where they actually go.

Bus svcs numbers always had a specific meaning. u dun just call svc 5 vc 5, you cant do that. Svc 5 has to pass through Geylang Lor 1.And yet todays svc 5 does not even come close. U can argue it goes Psir Ris where 3 and 5 and 6 go. makes it nice. But others may remind you hat 34 5 and 6 all once Geylang lor 1 or kallang rd area. In fact i explains why svc 2 and 7 still ply by kallang MRT area...

In todas age as more n more bus svcs nhumbers get anyhow names, some like me find it more confusing actually ion our "Nostalgi persos cases".

ZYX2005 SG

but certainly i cna put forth my reasons for bus renumbering of the following service. This of coruse must not be carried out in real life..hahah

Svc 3 -Punggol - Tampines

To show its true meaning, svc 3 shd be what they call a two segment service no. service. between Punggol to Loyang Ave - 357. between loyang Ave - tampines - 294. This in effect means svc 3 shd be a feeder two-serviced service with desto flipping at Loyang Ave from 357 to 294 and vice versa.

Svc5 The bus does not ply geylang Lor 1.
the bus plys kaki Bukit area and eunos area. In that essence it should be called 68. A uniformity of bus svcs nos will appear along bedok resv rd where 65 66 67 and this 68 will serve the road of this name abate diff stretches

Svc 6 oughto be a feeder svc called 356

Svc 8 despite its namesake the service does not ply geylang Lor1. but since the namesake has connotations of AIR-CON 8 and N113CRB to it, I see fit that the service remain erronously named so as to reserve memeories of OACs doing the route then.

Svc 9 is cut short from geylang lor 1. the svc no may stay as it was cut chsort ina mendments.

Svc11 doesnot ply katong. nor does it plied Chinatown.
Propose rename svc46. this will throw the service back to its 1970s orgins and its orginal svc no, 46.

Svc 21 As explained above. svc 21 is actually a reincarnation of svc 4. hence rename svc 4

Svc34 does not go bedok. yet it is so called.
reanme - svc 84 as it goes Punggol

Svc 111 poor service was cut short until it no longer plies Hougang. Neverthless, as the 19x rannge is fully used, there is no way the svc can be renumbered.

Svc186 - the service is whats left of 185 to shenton way with a bit of 122 in it. the service shd be rename svc126.

Svc131, Some might argue that it does not ply AMK. but the simple fact is svcs 130 and 131 were introduced as Balestier Rd svcs. So no argument on that to change. Furthermore most will not know that 131 once ran till TPY as svc 141. having the 4 changed to 3 is a nice reminder for me.

Svc147 this does not go TPY. but it once did. no change needed.

Svc154 - again once plied TPY.

Svc156 - A trend breaker. it does not even go near TPY. Said service shd be called 117 instead to reflect its Sengkangness alongside with sc119.

Svc158 is another one. But it once ran TPY. no chnage needed.

Svc161. This one was a case of no more numbers left. Still the said svc never did ran to Upp thomson Rd. a rename to svc116 might seem fit for this Hougang to Woodlands svc.

Svc168 Another one. This time again it does not run to Upp Thomson rd. not that its predecessor AIR-CON 168 did as well. But neverthless, the svc shd be called svc 968 under SMRT numbering system for Woodlands and digit ending with 8 for plying Tampines Ave 1.

Svc172 - once ran bt timah rd

Svc175 - running out of numebrs in the western side, it had to be called 175. A better number would have been svc 1 for the fact it terminates at geylang lor 1 and serves towards west llike the old svc 1 did. however another might argue that svc 1 should ply Chinatown . But in this case, we are out of svc nos to use...hee

Svc181 - another case of running out of bus svc nos in the west. Could be called 244. Svcs hardly goes into town to ever reach Chiantown. Also calling it 181 confuses me with te old 181 that used to run WDL to Crawfurd past my house. i Cringe everytime i see 181 buses. In fact i always say 181 to refer to 961. its a part of my life and 181 will never desert my life. (Some might think i am crazy lol)

Svc985 - a foolish mistake to call this svc 985 just because it was former 185. (8x series gSBW. thhis causes confusion that 985 goes Sembwang. of course some wd not be sad to seethe said svc extend to SBW so as to reclaim its rihtful nameskae. A better name would had been 978. (in uniformity with 975 and 970 plying Bt batok / Bt panjang)

re numbering bus services

but for others, they will go. whats this svc 4? huh? where my 21?

Have to get used to it. It's like everyday you take service 80 from Tampines to Hougang Ave 3 then one day you find out you have to take service 72.

tranquilice SG

Svc 21 As explained above. svc 21 is actually a reincarnation of svc 4. hence rename svc 4

Svc34 does not go bedok. yet it is so called.
reanme - svc 84 as it goes Punggol

Service 21 was introduced when service 4 was still around. It was when service 21 was extended to St. Michael's then service 4 was withdrawn. Service 67 was at the same time amended to cover part of its route between Tampines and Geylang.

Service 34 was Bedok - Changi Airport in the past.

ahjack 77 SG

the renumber of 190>980 will be very confusing for elderly tt take the present 980

noo.. not my beloved 106 too

jayh272416 SG

noo.. not my beloved 106 too

preserve 106 lor Laughing

ftjj0298 SG

noo.. not my beloved 106 too

actually 106 should be renumbered long ago, when it was rationalised due to duplicating of NEL. 10X is for S'goon services, 107 should be renumbered too, it was extended to hougang but was previously from serangoon.

jayh272416 SG

107 still ok leh Laughing passes serangoon NEL station

ftjj0298 SG

61 -> 861

75 -> 875

184 -> 884
187 -> 987
188 -> 888
189 -> 989
190 -> 790

i dun think this is good, with a bukit panjang svc using 88X and the a woodlands service using 88X too, a bt batok svc using 87X and another bt panjang one using 87X too. Ppl will get confuse, i rather follow my method,

ftjj0298 SG

107 still ok leh Laughing passes serangoon NEL station

i was thinking of that too, but renumbering it to 118 sounds good too.

jayh272416 SG

whats so confusing Laughing

61 just throw an 8 in front Laughing
