Route Suggestions

eX.A.K.R. SG

Looking at your route, I think it would be better if it didn't even head east, but cut it short at Yishun or Yio Chu Kang even, and maybe go through Sembawang. Maybe something like this:

Bukit Batok Int > Bukit Batok West Ave 2 > Bukit Batok West Ave 4 > Bukit Batok West Ave 7 > Bukit Batok West Ave 5 > Bukit Batok Road > Choa Chu Kang Way > Choa Chu Kang Ave 4 > K.J.E. > B.K.E. > Woodlands Ave 3 > Woodlands Reg Int > Woodlands Ave 7 > Sembawang Way > Canberra Link > Yishun Ave 2 > Yishun Ave 5 > Sembawang Road > Upper Thomson Road > S.L.E. > Lentor Ave > Ang Mo Kio Ave 6 > Yio Chu Kang Ter

Another, more plausible route (above route duplicates the MRT too much):

Bukit Batok Int > Bukit Batok West Ave 2 > Bukit Batok West Ave 4 > Bukit Batok West Ave 7 > Bukit Batok West Ave 5 > Bukit Batok Road > Choa Chu Kang Way > Choa Chu Kang Ave 4 > K.J.E. > B.K.E. > Woodlands Checkpoint CIQ > Woodlands Central Road > Woodlands Ave 1 > Woodlands Street 32 > Woodlands Ave 3 > Woodlands Reg Int > Woodlands Ave 2 > Woodlands Ave 9 > Woodlands Ave 10 > Sembawang Way > Sembawang Drive > Sembawang Ave > Sembawang Road > Canberra Link > Yishun Ave 2 > Yishun Ave 5 > Sembawang Road > Upper Thomson Road > S.L.E. > Lentor Ave > Ang Mo Kio Ave 6 > Yio Chu Kang Ter

Would provide new links to the Woodlands Checkpoint, Republic Polytechnic and the industrial park around Woodlands Ave 9 too, but it's admittedly a bit too long and winding...

I suggest 119 to be amended to serve Hougang Int/MRT.

Suggested route: Hougang Ave 8 -> Upp Sgoon Rd -> Hougang Ctrl -> Hougang Ave 4 -> Upp Sgoon Rd -> Hougang St 21.

This way, Rivervale Dr and Sengkang East Way residents will have direct bus connection with Hougang Int/MRT instead of current situation of having to walk to Hougang Plaza to take 119. Hougang Ave 4 residents could also have a bus service since 72 was amended to serve Hougang Ctrl.

But with this, it will skip a crucial bus stop where quite a few number of passengers who take this service. (especially students)

Any reason why it will loop on wkends instead of terminating? The route seems very close to 154 but if it was true i sure take!

patdog112 SG

i feel that SMRT should at least introduce a new route to go east....

its a pain for cck residents to go east with bus...

only the long haul 67 bus goes east

woodlands resident has plenty of buses to go east...
Bukit panjang residents have 966
bukit batok has EXPRESS506

EXPRESS 999..?

Bus that ply through cck neighbourhood hitting KJE , BKJ , PIE terminating at changi Airport ( the east side route need planning i am unfamilar with east situation )

CCK INT
CCK WAY
CCK ST52
CCK DR
CCK North 6
CCK North 5
Woodlands Road

( the east side route i am unfamiliar..) need some help from u guys

hiphop2009 SG

agreed. and i think taking lrt the time is still the same lo. those who live in segar area, alight from lrt still hav to walk a long way.

n i think 922 is a duplication of 920 in a similar way.

i think dey shld consider to redesign the route of LRT, though i noe it is impossible.

You forgot about 985 that goes to the east (Kallang), although it takes about 35 - 40 mins for the 985/985W to get from CCK to Jln Toa Payoh and about an hour to reach Geylang Lorong 1 Terminal(Non Peak) due to serving Bt Batok.

The problem that i encounter was with Yew Tee. From CCK Cres, only can take 302 and sometimes have to wait quite long. Then it takes quite some time to reach CCK Int too. From CCK Int there then can change to 985 (1 choice other than 67)Would be good if SMRT extends some services to Yew Tee or amend 302 into a service to goes to Bt Panjang!

patdog112 SG

there are many people traveeling down towards east furthur (kallang)

Kallang is somewhere near central.. the east i meant was like simei , bedok those...

even they dun introduce a bus at least they should link a feeder bus to bukit panjang for people to transfer another bus like 966 to go east...

Express506 the most take 30min or so to hit express way?
966 ( needless to explain it's express sector , though the frequency is lousy )
985 ( 45min to reach express way from cck.... somemore only terminating at kallang )

Bring back 989 man!

SBS9888Y SG

duplicates sv.154...it wont be put in...
the eunos-toa payoh stretch can compete with sv.966 and help sv.966 with some of its load...
the eng neo portion abit wasted..as if im not wrong got height restriction for DDs and no demand for that road...

patdog112 SG

i dun tink anybody who wan to save time will take 154 from enous to boonlay Shocked

musli_bar SG

they'll take mrt Wink

SBS9888Y SG

true...the express 505 would be quite a waste... many 154 hotspot areas not served like MacPherson, Clementi Rd stretch, clementi station, taman jurong estate... but i'll take it to boon lay from home as it will be much faster than MRT or 154 Wink but freq could be like 30mins and still no demand when i study the Service 154 load patterns

patdog112 SG

Enous user can walk up to take xpress 506 to Jurong East liao… from JE if wan to go boonlay very fast liao

Kheng Peng SG

how about merging 275 with 198 to make it extended to loop at bukit purmei avenue? Laughing

SBS9806J SG

How to turn at the loop? Laughing

BusSpeeder SG

don't think can, if they do it, 198 may not be a WAB service.

I was having some pretty random and insane thoughts while showering just now, and out of the randomness, something floated up from the hazy mess...

New SMRT Bus Route 982!

Sembawang Bus Interchange Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange via:

Sembawang Vista, Canberra Road, Admiralty Drive, Woodlands Avenues 10/9/2 (in that order), Woodlands Regional Interchange, Woodlands Avenue 3, Woodlands Road, Sungei Kadut Avenue, Choa Chu Kang Way, Choa Chu Kang North 6, Choa Chu Kang Avenue 4, Choa Chu Kang Way, Choa Chu Kang Avenue 1, Teck Whye Avenue, Choa Chu Kang Road, Bukit Panjang Road, Bukit Panjang Ring Road, Jelapang Road, Saujana Road, Fajar Road, Bukit Panjang Ring Road, and Petir Road.

Think about it. It might work Wink .
