I do feel that there is a need to replan Boon Lay feeders
240: Another service, 30M can be created such that
it loops at Taman Jurong, without affecting 240, need not have
any crossover to parent service, 30, means operational wise, its
one service by itself.
242:
Jurong West St 64, Av 4, St 72, Av 5, Pioneer Rd Nth, St 91, and
return via St 92, St 91, Pioneer rd North, Av 5, St 72, Av 4, St
64
Passengers who need to go to Jln Boon Lay can take 99
New Service 245 (choose the number):
Jurong West St 64, Boon Lay Way, Upp Jurong Rd, St 93,
St 92, St 91 and return via St 93, Upp Jurong Rd, Boon Lay
Way, St 64.
Alleviate loads of 242, marginally faster.
243 can be cut into 2 services
243: Jurong West St 64, St 75, St 81, Av 5 Pioneer Rd North and
return via Av4, St 71 , St 81, St 75, St 64
244: Jurong West, St 64, St 62, St 61, St 71, Av 5 and return
via Pioneer Rd North, Av 4, St 61, St 62, St 64
Bus timings should be planned properly such that 243 and 244
meet at the Av 5 bus stop such that passengers can transfer
without ease, free transfer is needed
A slight stop at the bus stop is needed for people to
transfer from one bus to another for about half a min, like what
the MRT used to be, North South line wait for East West line
passengers to board before leaving the station, nobody should
lose out significantly as it is only a 1/2 a
min wait. That is then a world class transportation, where
everything can be synchronised to ensure that the connection is
there.
I agree with your amended svc 242. not many ppl at jln boon
lay take 242. they can just take 99 instead.
with regards to svc 243 & 244, that means if a
passenger wants to go to st 81 from st 62, they can transfer to svc
243 from svc 244 ? not bad actually
My gut feeling tells that when pioneer station is opened,
one of the feeders will be amended or new feeder will introduce. so
the route will be something like this:
st 64, st 63, pioneer rd nth, st 91, st 92 and return back to st
91, pioneer rd nth,st 63, st 64
OR
st 64, st 63, upp jrg rd, st 93, st 91, st 92 & back to st
91, st 93, upp jrg rd, st 63, st 64
The purpose here is to serve st 91,st 92 residence to nearest
MRT, which is pioneer station instead of BNL...
