Press releases from Bus Companies, Part 2

last SG · 2005-10-17T16:26:04+00:00

Hmmm.. notice now a lot of buses introduced originating from the North East sector. Is it now a lucrative route (new estates) or are they just filling in ga...

kc_leung SG

229 doesn't stop anywhere near UEC at all. ("near" according to ordinary people's standard, not 3 Guards standard. Razz )

14... well, the no. of fare stages doesn't make it a good choice for feeder service. It's either 6.5 fare stages (Bedok Int - outside Bedok Camp) or 7 f/s if you alight at opp Kew Green condo - a bit more expensive than 229. And there's the detour through Bedok North.

Acx1688 SG

There's more than enough space for more buses coz at any 1 time, there's only 1 sv48 & 2 sv13 buses parking there. i believe that there will only be 1 sv43 parking there before it returns to Punggol.

SGEMP SG

So how many berths are in UEC in total?

sinicker SG

guys, berths not important.. berths can be cheaply constructed. moreover, UEC can be used as a no-alighting/boarding terminal if they wanted to.

SGEMP SG

From what I have observed in sbst 59 press release:

I think

1) the svc 59 would continue thru Bedok Reservoir Road not BNRExtn after Kaki Bukit Ave 1 to get into Tampines.

2) and thence the svc 59 will get past my Damai Secondary School.

would such things happen or likely to happen?

kc_leung SG

Reminds me of svc 34.

SGEMP SG

I fear that with the introduction of 59, 506 had lose its most basic function between Bdk<>TPY sector and might be fated to be shortened as JE<>TPY.

Apex-LW'21 SG

Admiralty Rd West Ter was converted into a no-alighting and boarding terminus.

sinicker SG

my take on 59's route is...

Bishan Int
Bishan St 11
Bishan Rd Arrow duplicates 88 to TPY Lor 6
TPY Lor 1
" Lor 6 Arrow transfers frm MRT/other svcs at bus stop near TPY Int
Jln Toa Payoh Arrow monastery, st. andrew's jnr sch, Siemens building
Eunos Link Arrow duplicates 15 up to bus stop before junction where 8/15/58 turns left to Bedok Nth Rd Ext.
Bedok Reservoir Rd Arrow duplicates 21/65 up to Tamp Safra
Tamp Ave 1/2 Arrow duplicates 8/17/18/28 up to Tamp East CC
Tamp Ave 7/Loyang Ave Arrow duplicates 9

turns left into changi village rd.
i know it is kinda messy. sorry.

PhyrePhox SG

It's quite cramped really.. Last time I was there, I saw some bus using berths as parking. Even if they properly use parking space, it's cramped for buses to go in an out.. and will create problem with the automated traffic light system outside the terminal.

SGEMP SG

So I wanted to ask:

Is it probable that svc 59 would pass by my Damai Sec Sch given such routing?

sinicker SG

as i said, it will duplicate 21/65 up to Tamp Safra. so, yes. Very Happy

sbst275 SG

Actually, duplication is not really the issue

Because the bus uses entire Ave 2, something the 2 svs would not be able to serve

sinicker SG

yup, true. which is what my schmates(i'm in tpjc btw) living in Bedok Reservoir Rd are gonna take advantage of when the services starts. Laughing

sbst275 SG

Currently on Sv 8, but it has to make a detour through TP

sbst275 SG

As for Sv 52

If it really wants to help Sv 74 in loading, frequency somehow have to be abt 8-10 mins with ADD

sinicker SG

yeah, anyway, the express sector isnt really that "express" at all. when i was still in Bedok North Sec, i had a choice of taking 15/21 home at Tampines. the bus stop aft the mosque.. when 15/21 comes together, i would take 15 and i take notice, at the Safra bus stop, 21 would be ahead of me!

sbst275 SG

Actually, it is a longer rt

They just detour 8 and 15 to serve TP

SGEMP SG

Just now went to the bus stop near to my Damai Sec Sch already.

Seen and read that service 59 notice already.

Yes you are right. Thank You.

Just that I did not bring my cam today to take down that notice.

tranquilice SG

4 berths for 8 services.
