That looks strange? Well, 123 is a worser example. You just need to cycle from Buikit Merah to Bukit Purmei and you're there. I must say that walking in to Johor is better when there are jams. You at least beat the bus by 15 mins to an hour.

tanjun SG

Hmm. There is service 275 from Bt Merah to Bt Purmei. 123 is a route more to provide a direct link from Bt Purmei to Tiong Bahru to Orchard.

tvcnq SG

Maybe its faster to take the LRT to bp then transfer to 190, but you need to walk, and you might not be able to get onto the bus from there. Or maybe transferring to 700 is a better choice?

131 as well... 123 is Queenstown - Orchard also... but Tiong Bahru - Orchard got 16

tanjun SG

If PIE encounters traffic jams, taking 190 or 700 will be the same.

I just feel that there are more and more vehicles on the road and there are many slow traffic all over the place. On National Day, Chuila St encounters traffic jams due to people coming here to watch fireworks. I guess Raffles Avenue encounters slow traffic. Almost Saturday around 2000 in the night, Serangoon Rd will encounter traffic jams too, causing delays for bus trips.

I guess one thing that the authorities can do to increase the quality of public transport is to reduce the number fo vehicles on the road. Besides, this move is more environmental friendly. Laughing

kengkia SG

why not we try this route out... Smile

Boon Lay int to either Seragoon or Hougang(Punggol/Sengkang wait route too long)

This is roughly my idea on how the route goes....

Boon Lay int Jalan Bahar PIE KJE KJE slip roads along CCK area(assuming the scenario that bus stops already bulit there) KJE BKE Mandai rd Mandai Ave Sembawang Road Upper Thomson road AMK Ave 1 AMK Ave 3 Hougang Ave 2 (after which this svc will terminate either by turning left into upper seragoon road or right turn into upper serangoon rd towards serangoon....

this route bascially connects the westsiders/NW with NE region and vice versa...

i know that the part where KJE silp rd at CCK will break the "two territory/one territory" rule but i dun think that linking only far west to north east corridor route will work out...so i included this CCK section...as this is my first time 'plotting' a route hope u guys can bear with me... Very Happy

Any comment pls feel free to bring up...

tanjun SG

Hmm. One problem, how do u get to SLE from Mandai Rd? Unless u follow 138 route to go to Upper Thomson Rd.

kengkia SG

okay i have edited the route already...and it will now benefits AMK dudes as well... Very Happy

patdog112 SG

i feel that the service will be become EXPRESS XXX that serve people from boonlay to NE

kengkia SG

that's what i hope for also......hmmm...is any of the expressway under either SBST/SMRTB?(in this case is KJE under SMRT control etc since the sector i mentioned was in CCK?)....cos if it's i may need to re-route it again to ply J.E bt batok rd woodlands rd mandai rd (Continued as my previous post)

stooper SG

179 also got big problem with traffic lights. With the Boon Lay extension being built, they have retimed all the traffic lights along Jurong West St 63.

In AM peak, by the end of JW St 63 (junction with Pioneer Rd Nth), there should be 3 to 4 179 ADDs bunching together... Laughing

Include more CNG Buses.

Let me see. According to ur new route, it has around 39 stages which to me is fairly ok.

Benefits: Provide a direct link from NE area to Boon Lay.
Provide a direct link from NE area to the industrial estate at Tagore Rd. This place is one of the places that provide a high demand for 169 during peak hrs.

If the route is rerouted such as it pass by Nee Soon Camp, I think that the demand will be greater.

However, I am not sure whether the demand from Hougang to Boon Lay is there. Imagine u r living in Hougang or in AMK, will you take this service to Boon Lay or will you take MRT?

tanjun SG

I always have this qn. Some bus routes are high in demand while some are low. However, it is during NDP cover that this qn dawns on me.

My frenz went home on one day from Clarke Quay to his hse at Sengkang near Rivervale Drive.
There are two best options that he could take to reach his destinations.
1. Take MRT from Clarke Quay and transfer to LRT to his hse.
2. Take 80 at the bus stop near Clarke Quay to his hse.

In the end, he chose option 2 instead of option 1. I was rather surprised. The reason that he gave is that option 2 was though long, was a direct route to his hse. He could have a nice nap all the way.

Hence the qn dawns on me.
Suppose u guys are going somewhere using a public transport excluding taxi,
will you
1. Or take the fastest route to that destination.

2. If possible, take the most direct route to that destination (meaning that u don't have to walk much throughout the journey) but it may not possibly be the shortest route nor fastest route.

SBS9888Y SG

i would love to take a DD on 172 route..esp the CCk Rd portion..
my kind of combo: ulu+DD

SBS1985C SG

I choose direct.

kengkia SG

do u mean bypassing the nee soon flyover and turn left at fork road before nee soon camp and ply the road outside nee soon camp(assuming that i going towards NE area)?

taking MRT, hmmm..if u have studied the singapore map if u take NEL and transfer at outram and carry on to boon lay it's like a U-shape route somewhere there, but my route other than AMK-NE area ,it's mostly express liao....

tanjun SG

Hmm. What I mean is after plying Upper Thomson Rd, Sembawang Rd then to Mandai Ave. Though slightly longer, it helps to boost demand for this svc.

For me, if I have to go from my hse to Boon Lay, I will take this svc, direct and can sleep till the end. Besides, this svc pass by my hse. Mr. Green

kengkia SG

oh...okay...i thought ur refering to the camp at bath rd...but okay...i have now re-route it again and i find it nice...cos it steals abit of pax. from south-western/western Yishun area as well from SMRT....looks neat to me...killing one bird with two stone, though route is abit longer and fare stage would be something like 41/42 like that... Very Happy

kengkia SG

too add on the name of this svc...i give it 84 ba...it's SLBP majority controlled and HGDEP minority control...vice versa or partial control also will suffice...bus fleet wise....my beloved B9TLs and most ADDs, should this Svc 84 montentaliy gains high demand...for starting pls use Merc buses i love these babes...from HGDEP side...DM3500 buses rocks... Very Happy
