Merge 26 and 73.

would be fun.........

AJQZC SG

Or enhance service 11 to Eunos.

Or enhance service 11 to Eunos.

It would be removed anyway when the new kallang park interchange is ready

198 and 192? Bt Merah to Tuas

99 and 242? Clementi to Boon Lay

And a route suggestion. 40 use Geylang East Central, 155 cut out that LONG LOOP in macpherson estate (thought of this for a long long time liao, but never post)

A merger between 198 and 192 as well as other Tuas and JIS services) is IMO not feasible as both are considered middle distances two-directional services and if merged the routes will be quite long (43 fare stages in both directions). Furthermore for places like Lok Yang and Tuas they only needs a bus link to the nearest MRT station that's why you never see Tuas having a direct bus service to other parts of sg.

As for 99 and 242, if you have noticed, both services duplicates much in JW Neighbourhoods 7 & 9 only that 242 goes to Boon Lay while 99 goes to Boon Lay and other parts of JW. However both have big riderships and if merged there will have lots of problems.

Also, the merger of 99 and 52 will mean a longer route and furthermore it is a loop service.

I would prefer such kind of merging:

98/98M and 333 - It will follow 333's route from JE Int until turning to Jurong East St 32 before proceeding to the current 98/98M route in Jurong East Ave 1.

60 and 18 - Eunos to Tampines via Bedok Ctrl.

The good thing about merging services is that it can save service numbers and trouble just to transfer buses. The bad thing, on the other hand, may cause the routes to be too long and drivers may not be accustomed.

Just a tip: if you want to merge feeder services into trunk services, do take note of how you manage the fare as well.

941 and 945? Become intratown 943

SMRT Trunk 949 - Bukit Batok Int to Bukit Batok Rd (loop)

SMRT Trunk 949A - Bukit Batok Int to Bukit Batok Int via Bukit Batok Rd (loop)

(Similar Style of 113 route)

Merger of 941 & 947

SBS8033D SG

then better not.this is quite a waste of time when you urge 111 and 99 BCs to drive long routes when the service some more need to turn in and out.

AND keep 502 there.502 serving marina ctr has a purpose.

if you want,merge 36 and 111.and put a lot of kubs.

On weekday mornings, espescially around 6.30am-7am, buses serving on route 66 gets especially crowded--from Bukit Batok all the way to Dunearn Road, near Hwa Chong JC (due to the number of schools there). Double deckers cannot serve due to low bridges along the later part of Dunearn Road (or is it?)

Is it possible to shorten 66B to Hwa Chong JC, run them during the school rush period and allow double deckers on them? This would also ease the student demand for services 157 and 174--which are also packed like sardines during the school rush period even though they are already using double deckers.

With the longer route now, the "jump bus" system will be introduced, like the system practised on Servicd 036.

I think cannot, BNL is SBST territory.

However merger of 925 and 858 might work. If not then 925 + 969, CCK to Tampines.

Suggest: When bartley rd east opens...

service 94 Eunos to Changi Village

Crazy..... Although a large part of the route is express sector, the total distance is too long for even a 2 direction service never to say a loop service. (Around 135 fare stages in total!)

Merging of services 187 and 858?? Can't be done man. too long of a distance will cause commuters to wait for a long time to reach their destination. So this merger isnt that advisable. Besides, who would want to take a svc with many stops?

Any of these mergers involving route 858 could make it's route insanely long; don't forget that it's extension into Sembawang was denied by the air-brained people at the Public Transport Council (despite it being a short detour which could have enhanced connectivity for Sembawang residents by A LOT) with the reason citied as that it will make the route too long; any sort of merger of route 858 with any other bus route in Woodlands that runs west is suicide.

I still say: push for that Sembawang detour until they relent. That detour wasn't too long.

It is advisable for you to go through the routes through the street directory. And do up a sensible route please!!

i dare you to merge 30 and 178. and den compare the journey time with 168.

eX.A.K.R. SG

i dare you to merge 30 and 178. and den compare the journey time with 168.

30 + 178 = more insane than route 182 in the year 1972.

A bus captain driving this route will only need to do at most six trips a day (one trip from Bedok to Woodlands and vice-versa) for a complete day's duty, and this is assuming operating hours from around 5 or 6 AM to 12 midnight or 1 AM.
