Donavan SG

Well, just pretty interested to hear your opinions on this. Personally I think Svc 502 can be said as trunk instead (amended). What about you all?

28_29_293 SG

citybuzz bus svcs must be scrapped. Losing money so more

28_29_293 SG

mayb amended svc 27, here how the route goes:

Aft Tampines Ave 5, Simei Ave, Xilin Ave, ECP, Changi Airport [From Hougang]

[Towards Hougang] Changi Airport, ECP, Xilin Ave, Simei Ave, Tampines Ave 5(then normal route)

Purpose is cos Simei Ave outside & opp ITE College East only svc 31.

I know in the past svc 23 pass tampines ave 5 straight to PIE but now pass by temasek poly then ave 10 then bedok north rd then PIE.

502 isn't fit to call itself an Express service anymore since it no longer plies any expressway. I ever suggested to SBST that it could be converted to a trunk route but they didn't seem keen on this.

Anyway, my take: 12 can be enhanced by extending it to Clementi via former 189 route (Jln Bt Merah, Lower Delta, Alexandra Rd, C'wealth Ave, Sg Poly).

23 can be used as cover for 81/103. It could extend to New Bridge Rd via Middle Rd, Nth/Sth Bridge Rd & Neil Rd.

56 and 97 can be merged. It could deviate via Marina Centre during weekends post-merger.

28_29_293 SG

if 56 & 97 merged, then the fare stages will be 40+.

iveco SG

There is no turn-off from ECP into Xilin Ave from the AYE-bound carriageway AFAIK.

28_29_293 SG

if 12 extended to clementi the journey will be damn long.

mayb extend svc 26 become bishan to bedok.

iveco SG

56 route is quite short. Less than 20 stages each direction.

iveco SG

I have done my sums. The number of fare stages would be 43+44, the same as that for svc 14.

28_29_293 SG

then mayb aft simei ave serve upp changi rd east (i know it duplicate svc 24) then PIE until airport.

delonchew SG

Since you know it duplicates 24, then what is your purpose of suggesting it?

28_29_293 SG

maybe extend svc 54 to clementi instead of svc 12

28_29_293 SG

cos simei ave outside & opp ite college east only has svc 31 passing by n the demand is not enough sometimes.

The future amended svc 27 serve the upp changi rd east ppl (nearer to expressway) a quick link to tampines new town

28_29_293 SG

maybe a new svc from bt panjang/choa chu kang to the northeast area(punggol/sengkang/hougang)?

alex_cai92 SG

is there a need to amend 27....doing so will cause longer travelling time....and 32 is doing fine now...bocz onli xtra 5 bus stop and bedok nth rd extension is express...

alex_cai92 SG

31 can cope bcoz onli during peak hours is this 2 bus stop crowded...

alex_cai92 SG

this has been raised many times but i still feel tat it brings ppl nearer to sim lim sq, it save ppl from walking much... and connects jln besar wif serangoon rd...

if i remember correctly, long ago 23 went to orchard rite?

iveco SG

It provided a much faster connection to Orchard than 65. It was shortened due to SMRT rationalisation. But from Orchard to the East, one has to change trains at City Hall.

Given that 23 plies a large portion of its route on PIE, it could also offer a faster link between TAM and Chinatown as compared to svc 12 if extended down to NBR.

sinicker SG

dont change 23 and 65 anymore. they're mature services that have a healthy load throughout the route.

31 can cope with the ITE College East students. if they're heading to Tanah Merah, they can take 2 or 31. i've seen some students walk to the bus stop outside the Industrial Estate to take 10 too.

i hope 29 can revert back to its original route. probably a new feeder service could be introduced.

Townlink 29x : Tampines Int Ave 7 St 41 Ave 9 St 42 St 43 Ave 9 St 41 Ave 7 Tampines Int Ave 5 Ave 6 St 72 (turn right) St 71 Ave 5 Tampines Int

this service would provide a more direct link frm Int to St 71 and help to make 72 less packed, thus more passengers going towards Hougang and beyond can take the bus. moreover, Townlink 293 frm St 45 Ave 7 can just go straighttttt to Interchange. On the other side, i do not know what to do with Townlink 293. Crying or Very sad

till i have more ideas, good night.

you want to extend sv. 12 to clementi ah. so what if u did ur sums. driver's butt still pain after journey what. i as pax also wun wan to take such long journey waste time.. and then where u going to find the buses i ask u? you think so easy just to suka suka extend service ah. your sums incomplete la

merge 56 and 97? you out of your mind isit? 56 and 97 got diff catchment base la. 97 is mainly for jurong peeps to go town quick quick lor. i ask u which jurong peep want to take such long service all the way to bishan. if not butt rot then what?

unless u open ur own company then we talk ok? then u can launch these services and see how much loss u make.
