Sv 11

Kallang MRT to Marina Centre (To link up the 2 recreation ctr)

Rt: Mountbatten Rd, Stadium, Nicoll Highway*, Republic Blvd, Raffles Ave (Loop)

Sv 401 can stay, it only serves on weekend when there is demand IMO

sbs&tibs SG

Then no link to orchard rd. Leave 401 alone. Its route is already quite good.

leeJZ SG

How about 401 route to National Stadium, 11 route to Lorong 1 Geylang, Kallang Rd -> Crawford St -> North Bridge Rd -> Stamford Rd -> Orchard Rd and go loop at Tomlinson Rd?

sbst275 SG

401 does go to Stadium

^tamago^ SG

there is no need to amend it at the moment, or it will lead to more wastage (since the load profile of the svc is that it is predominantly determined by seasonal demand). they are jus waiting to withdraw it once circle line (marina line) comes about.

sbst275 SG

But the CCL is also limited

CCL doesn't serve East Coast Park to Stadium/ Orchard link. CCL may not affect that much after all, that's a feeder MRT line with train make up of 3 carriages only (Half the size of SMRT/ NEL trains)

^tamago^ SG

expect CCL to dump all the bus services once it pushes its way through.

East Coast Park to Stadium/Orchard link is served by 401.

Svc 11 will only act as a feeder to Kallang MRT, and they will definitely divert ppl to transfer to CCL at Paya Lebar once it is up & running since Kallang itself cannot sustain the demand required to run svc 11, and i expect it will be more empty pax buses if it continues to operate alongside CCL.

CCL trains are made up of 3 carriages, which have a per-train-capacity of 960 (148 seats, 6 passengers/m²).

btw, half the station box for marymount station appears to be ready, which is very fast in my opinion. reinstatement of cemented road for north-bound marymount rd is in progress already.

sbst275 SG

Not true, it's like the NEL, many places are not served like at Bencoolen St (That's why 147 frequency is 4-5 min)

Isn't that what I said? The train is 70m, while NEL/ SMRT train is 138m long?

sbs&tibs SG

Current 401 from BDK Int to Stadium, then turn out of Stadium via Nicoll Highway(the unclose part), Mountbatten rd, Victoria street, Beach rd, Stanford rd, Tomlinson rd, orchard rd….Mountbatten rd, Nicoll Highway(the unclose part), turn into stadium, then all the way back to bedok.

^tamago^ SG

yeah. jus quoting the pax capacity.

anyway i think svc 11 is bound to go. asking kallang residents to take ccl at paya lebar to boulevard station is easy. and mountbatten rd-kallang mrt link is served by many svcs & mountbatten rd-boulevard link is served by old airport rd stn & by walking.

tranquilice SG

I find it a waste of time to take the EWL to Paya Lebar (let say I'm coming from Boon Lay) and transfer to CCL to National Stadium area. I would prefer to alight at Kallang and transfer to service 11, that's faster in my opinion.

It will be even better if CCL phase 6 is to be constructed, so that I can take the EWL to Buona Vista and transfer to CCL straight to National Stadium area.

leeJZ SG

Dont forget Sv 11's poor frequency.

And SBST doesnt seem to like to use Lor 1 Geylang Ter, they even made 62 loop instead of terminate there.

tranquilice SG

I can walk there if I missed the bus. Mr. Green

But this wasn't in the past. Lots of SBS services terminated there such as 9, 70X, 148, 197, 401 etc.

iveco SG

Maybe SMRT has better ctrl of Geylang Fringe. Just look at 853, 961, 980 & 985.

tranquilice SG

If Crawford St terminal is still around, it will mostly likely be services 853 and 985 only.

iveco SG

In that case, 62 can terminate at Geylang Fringe.

IMO, 11 & 62 can be integrated. However, that would mean SMRT will have full control of Geylang Fringe just as they controlled Crawford St.

tranquilice SG

SBST seems uninterested.
