For sv 96, can explain why not loop it at clementi instead? Cuz im thinking ppl who take the MRT just need to go down to the bus stop rather than walking to the int

Alternatively, 96 can terminate at Dover MRT instead, looping at K Ridge Ter. Convenience to both pax n BCs. (no jams)

look at e condition outside Clementi MRT sometime next week n u'll no y, when new poly term starts.

(Buses park along C'Wealth West - facing West bound to NUS. Buses arriving Dover unload opposite n come in to park, using e U-turn further east along e road)

Maybe loop at dover? Kent Ridge Ter, Kent Ridge Cres, Clementi Rd, Dover Rd, Dover Ave, Commonwealth Ave West, Clementi Rd, Kent Ridge Cres, Kent Ridge Ter.

i have a suggestion here for 858. thinking for a few days already, decided to post it on here.

Service 858 (with diversion into Tampines)

Woodlands Ave 9
Gambas Ave
Sembawang Rd
Yishun Ave 5
Yishun Ave 2

Tampines Ave 10
Tampines Ave 9

Woodlands Regional Interchange

This diversion into Tampines is to allow residents who are travelling to Tampines from Woodlands and Yishun have another alternatives, and this allows the service to stop at more stops in Tampines, unlike Service 969 that only stops at the interchange as the only stop in Tampines. Please comment.

S858 does not need to have that extension. It's route is already long enough. People going into Tampines from Woodlands have the best alternative that they have - S168. 35 minutes from WRI to Tampines town.

People going into Tampines from Yishun, just take S969. 40 minutes reach Tampines. Then change. Alternatively, take S39 or S858 to Jalan Kayu, then change S168. 40 minutes reach Tampines Town also. There's a reason why certain services ply the Jalan Kayu bus stop and some don't.

S969 is a very high demand service. The loading at Tampines during evening peak hours is just madness. This is one of the best-planned routes ever SMRT has created, I say. Gives people working in the east a very direct link to the North. i.e. People living at Yishun and up get to benefit from journey times less than an hour. 1 trip up is 1 hour, 1 trip down is also 1 hour. And it skips all stops at Tampines because there are other services like S168 to cover it. People just need to change at Jalan Kayu to either S39 or S858 to Yishun.

And even after relieving about 50% of its load at Yishun MRT, S969 continues to be packed. Alot of people take S969 from Yishun MRT because it's one of the shortest link currently into Woodlands Town.

How can I not say this is a good route planned?

Uh, I believe it skips the stops at Tampines because of the location of Tampines Interchange...PTC ruling for cross territorial services.

Anyway, it was a good decision. Can't imagine if every bus that leaves Tampines already packed to the door, still need to pick pax. :)

Maybe end at Kent Ridge would be better, i think LTA would not allow SMRT buses anyhow cross into a SBST boundary, Kent RIdge is fine.

Sugessted Deployment

KJDEP 10 buses

6 AP/ 2 S1/ 2 TQ

AP: 3 Hispano Mk 2, 3 0405T

S1: 2 Box Bendy

TQ: 2 Hino

Weekend Crossover Peak Hrs: 2 Hiapano Habits (1 from 901, 1 from 902)

What about extending 950 to Sambawang?

Dunno if this is redundant though.

not a good idea. because at wlds interchange itself already full with ppl especially peak hour. ppl from sembawang can take MRT or 962 to woodlands .

Don't act smart lah, small kid.

I find it better to continue serving WRI, where it is a centralised area for interchanging. It may be a nice idea for other services serving the west side of WRI to be extended to Sembawang instead.

Your English is not better to any extent. He's asking whether is the route redundant, not the words. Buck up your English before you try to correct anyone.

I may not be as good at English to you guys and gals here,but i am already trying my best to type good ones but his extension is really ng mah.

As a matter of a fact, what you posted IS REDUNDANT. Correcting the person's spelling is ok, but criticising the person's spelling isn't. For all you know, it might be an accidental typo. Please.

A correct way to post is "It's Sembawang lol. Not Sambawang." Forums are also a place to learn too.

edit -and from your above post "but his extension is really ng mah..." what is the extension you are referring to?
