they are, in fact loop services, except that they have to report to the office and manage to get a toilet break.

Well Well.. can see that people are casting theie votes for Toa Payoh.. Hmmm.. doesnt anyone cast their votes for Woodlands.. ?? feel that its unique.. as it bulit partly underground.. the only intercjange built this way after Changi Airport.. hmmm.. dont your think that Kranji needs a bus terminal.. ?? dont your think so… ? now there is already CW1, 170 and 160.. the services that most ppl take.. it would be nice if there is one interchange there.. then 170 can be spilt into 2.. 1st part from Queens St to Kranji.. 2nd part is a merged service with 160.. towards Johor.. maybe SMRTB can start a service 951 from Kranji as well.. haha.. other than ppl going to and fro Johor.. it can also cater ppl who are going to and fro the turf club.. can see a good future in KRANJI BUS TERMINAL… hope that LTA would consider that..

Well… iS Clementi so bad.. ?? like what some of you had said.. ??

leeJZ SG

It is bad. The pax area is very narrow, maybe about 3m of standing space. The layout is like a curved shape, with the bus park in the middle. There is so little space that the control office has to be located out in the middle of the bus park. And during rain, it often gets flooded.

Seriously needs a refurbishment, better a brand new int.

sBs_boy SG

Well.. i think.. nO matter what.. the Interchange still have to stay... iF im not Wrong.. theres no other way that they can built a temp Interchange.. Hmmm.. anyway.. i also feel that itz time that LTA built a new interchange for Clementi.. maybe... a AIrCon De bahx.. ?? wouldnt it be nice.. ???

sBs_boy SG

Haiz.. Sad.. HEard that N113CRBs will be leaving us in the year 2006.. Mi gonna miss them..

For those of you complaining about Bedok and Clementi, be glad that they will be rebuilt...can check it up from the Master Plan. Very Happy

And interestingly, Tampines, Pasir Ris, Boon Lay, Jurong East, Bukit Batok, Choa Chu Kang and possibly Serangoon and Bukit Merah are due for reconstruction too!

sBs_boy SG

What i heard is that for Serangoon, because of the Circle Line, something like SengKang will appear.. Bus Interchange, NorthEast Line and Circle Line.. all under one roof.. Ermm.. did i mentioned tht Shopping Center might be appearing too.. ? In Serangoon Center...

Superbus SG

Not sure about the other bus interchanges, but as for Bedok, it was due for reconstruction as early as 1999! So which Master Plan are you referring to? Can you show us the source or links? Thanks.

huaiwei SG

Yeah..LTA is now trying to sell the plot of land for such an intergrated development.

http://www.lta.gov.sg/land_sales/main.htm

Check out the design requirements section (Appendix D, G, I)...dosent give much details lah, but I note that the interchange will be airconditioned, and there is also a suggested layout plan attached. Wink

I was refering to the URA's Landuse Master Plan, the latest version being accessable through this site:

http://www.ura.gov.sg/ppd/gazettedmp2003/index.htm

Their plans are quite reliable, as they have to liase with each of the governmental organisations, including the LTA. Oh, and i forgot to mention...even Hougang Central interchange is actually due for reconstruction as an underground interchange interchange aka Sengkang and Toa Payoh too!

Also, they do amend their plans sometimes, I have noticed. For example, Yishun's Interchange was initially zoned for redevelopment back in 1996 when the earlier plans were out, but I notice they have changed their minds since the 1998 Master Plan?

poon cho tang SG

since u all r into buses...got any catalogue of spore buses agst their model? been out of touch of dis since young...i only knew of the un-aircon scania 113 when taking 149 15 yrs ago ... Mr. Green

supremebull SG

Tampines is due for reconstruction. It was a promise made during the 2000 GE in Tampines GRC, like the Tampines Ave 10 extension to Bartley Rd. However, I don't know how they are gonna reconstruct such a busy interchange without causing any major distruption...

sBs_boy SG

If Tam is due to be reconsturcted.. i think.. they are going to face alot of problems.. Tam.. you can say thats it is one of the most busiest Bus Interchange in Singapore.. Especially for those pax who are using the feeder bus and MRT station.. might face alot of problems..

kuekj SG

my thought.. because i don't live in tampines, i am not very sure if there is a condo being built at opposite tampines interchange..

if the tampines interchange has to be marked for redevelopment, the temporary interchange can take the land at tampines grande/tampines concourse... there is also a parcel at tampines grande/central 3, but is crossed by mrt.. 3rd possibility the land at central 4 n ave 4 (but too cramp!) next to dbs tampines ctr.

ur comments?

iveco SG

If Tampines Interchange is problematic enough, what about Clementi?

Disregard the two blocks opposite Blk 319 (439 & 440). These have since been demolished. Even so, do you think that site is big enough to accommodate a temporary interchange if Clementi Interchange is due for a facelift?

huaiwei SG

Actually considering how small Clementi interchange already is, that field is probably large enough. Very Happy

They can build a temp interchange, nt at e sme location but close too. Take 4 example, last time b4 e HDB Hub was up, e old Toa Payoh int was there. Than it moved closed to e swimming complex while e new one was being built. After that it moved back to where it is nw. Inside HDB Hub.

E current AMK interchange is oso a temp wan. It will move back to the old spot where e old interchange was located once e new interchange is ready. But nt so soon, cause I still c a piece of empty land there. No construction work going on.

But I notice that SMRT interchanges r better maintain. Like e one in Yishun. U can't c any faulty lights, all lights r in working order n e int is bright too. Unlike SBSTransit int, poor maintenance. Like e Bishan int sme of e lights hve been faulty 4 more than a yr liao. N they r e main lights on e ceiling that supposed to brighten up e place. Bishan int is e dimmest int I hve been to compare to other interchanges including SBSTransit ones.

CTL, isn’t BSH Int inside a HDB Block? The same wiv BBT.

contact_thatslife SG

Yap, sme as serangoon int too. On top is e HDB carpark. But e lights in e interchange r under e maintenance of SBST. They should nt only reapir e faulty lights, but oso add in florescent lights too, cheap n bright. Especially when u r walking fm Junction 8 towards e int, e 1st thought is that is there a black out at e interchange?? Power reduce by half?!? Dam dim.

SBS9818A SG

I agree. Bishan Int is one of the dimmest interchanges. Have walked through the place on my way home late at night and it is incredibly dim. Will talk to the green shirt guys about this.
