How come Tampines Ave 2 is in between Ave 7 and Loyang Ave? Yishun Ave 5 and Ave 7 are not connected together.

off_service SG

Service 61 service captains will have rest of at least 30 mins ( equivalent of 3 2 bus timing ) at either terminals.

tranquilice SG

Alighting at Tanjong Pagar MRT and transfer will be faster.

Then those TAM - BTM drivers need a break of 20 mins Very Happy

New amendment, in order to provide a fast link between Tampines/Pasir Ris & Bukit Batok/Jurong East, how about extending Sv 81 via the following...it can also have a fast link between TPY and PSR/TAM/JRE/BBT -

Upper Serangoon Rd
Bendemeer Rd/Whampoa North/Serangoon Rd (Express)
Jalan Toa Payoh
Toa Payoh Lor 6
Jalan Toa Payoh
PIE (Express)
Upp Bukit Timah Rd
Old Jurong Rd
Bukit Batok East Aves 6 & 3
Bukit Batok Central & Ave 1
Jurong East Central & St 13

It needs to get out into Toa Payoh Lor 6 because on the return you cannot exit from the main PIE into Upper Serangoon Rd, only through Kim Keat Link which can only be accessed from Toa Payoh Lor 6

freakybuses SG

That route is far too long.... one direction takes abt 2hrs 15mins... fare stage approx 55....

leeJZ SG

2 hrs 15 mins? Sv 51 & 61 takes about that...and their routes are very winding...

leeJZ SG

Well if it is indeed too long, which I doubt, I can offer three suggestions...

1. Changi Airport - Airport Boulevard - PIE - TPE - Tampines Ave 7 (to the library) - Tampines Ave 9 - Tampines Ave 10 - Pasir Ris Dr 12 - Follow Route Stated Above

2. Tampines - Tampines Ave 5 - Tampines Ave 4 - Tampines Ave 7 (library) - Tampines Ave 9 - Tampines Ave 10 - Pasir Ris Dr 12 - Follow Route Stated Above

3. Changi Village - Loyang Ave - Tampines Ave 7 (to the library) - Tampines Ave 9 - Tampines Ave 10 - Follow Route Stated Above

Which would be the best route, these three or the one stated above?

TIB1186Z SG

Came out with a serious replacement for svc 989. This route does not duplicate any existing route, and even if it does, this provides a more direct and faster alternative. A feature is that it can be operated by both SBST and TIBS, (i suggest SBST myself to punish TIBS for withdrawing it and letting them see what they lost Very Happy ), as they exit their territories pretty fast and directlt. It also helps to make use of the rather empty Jurong east bus interchange. CCK residents are served by the stops along CCK Rd.

Jurong East Int.
Jurong east St. 13
Jurong East Ctrl
BBT Ave 1
BBT Central ( BBT MRT )
BBT West Ave 2
BBT West Ave 5 ( Bt Gombak MRT )
BBT Rd
Choa Chu Kang Rd
Bt Panjang Rd
Jelebu Rd
Gangsa Rd
Bt Panjang Rd
BKE
PIE
Jln Toa Payoh
PIE
Airport Boulevard
PTB 1
PTB 2

This route is around the same length as the one that was sadly withdrawn, or even shorter. It links the west effectively to the east, as they can transfer outside siemens centre to svc 23, or at Changi Airport.

What do u think?

xin1jun2 SG

i think the best thing to do is extend the 985 back to the airport. meawhile regarding your service...maybe the winding route thru bt batok is long. ask the bus go along bt batok rd all the way and head for the exprssways.?

at any rate ZYX979 is like TIBS 989. we would like to thanks TIBS for handing the service over to ZYXbus =P

The NEL/NSL needs a connection to the other side of the NSL (CCK, BBT side), so how about the following -

Reroute Sv 854 -

Bedok Interchange - New Upp Changi Rd - Changi Rd - Jln Eunos - Eunos Link - Hougang Ave 3 - Hougang Ave 2 - Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 - Ang Mo Kio Ave 6 - Lentor Ave - SLE - BKE - KJE - Choa Chu Kang Way - Choa Chu Kang Rd - Upp Bukit Timah Rd -Petir Rd - Bukit Panjang Interchange

With that, there can be fast links between Hougang/Ang Mo Kio/Bedok & Choa Chu Kang/Bukit Panjang. Perhaps Sv 25 can be withdrawn or amended like this?

Bedok Interchange - New Upp Changi Rd - Changi Rd - Jln Eunos - Eunos Link - Airport Rd - MacPherson Rd - Bendemeer Rd - Whampoa North - Serangoon Rd - Jln Toa Payoh - Toa Payoh Lor 6 - Braddell Rd - Bishan Rd - Ang Mo Kio Ave 6 - Ang Mo Kio Temp Interchange

CBSBus Updates

CBSBus is proud to announce the official opening of a new route: CBS21. This route is actually SBST12. So there's nothing much to fuss about. I did fine tune the fare stage at the Chinatown area due to the staggering of the bus stops.

As for bus deployment. CBSBus now has
21 Mk4 Striders: CBS 1000 U - CBS 1020 L
25 Mk4 DM3500: CBS 1300 D - CBS 1324 K
30 Merz O405G Volgren: CBS 2001 K - CBS 2030 B
31 Volvo Olympian 3 axle: CBS 9000 S - CBS 9030 E

All these buses will be parked and maintained at BNDEP & ARBP while the other depots are being built. CBS's BNDEP is located just next to St Anthony's Canossian Sec, on the former Ind Park land. In short, its a stone's throw from SBST's BNDEP. ARBP for CBS Bus is located next to the MOE Examinations Branch @Ayer Rajah Cres.

34 of these buses are now on CBS20. Another 20 of these will be operated on CBS21.

CBSBus Press Release: 22nd March 2004.

Currently purchased 16 Isuzu LT134 euro 3 fitted with Designline body.

Still in planning for the routes,Any sincere ideas?

tranquilice SG

I have already suggested this in page 1 of this thread. The new service just follow former service 85 route to HBF.

TIB1186Z SG

Yupz u got it. 'DBS' 989 actually kinda follow the MRT track from Jurong East all the way to Bt. Gombak, then turn onto Bt Batok rd where it heads straight for the Bt Panjang E'way exit.

It is highly unlikely that TIBS would undo svc 985 and revert 989. I feel that there is a load for Bt Batokians and Bt Panjangians to go straight towards Toa Payoh and Changi Airport.Its also faster to go to Tampines too, but transfering to svc 23.

leeJZ SG

1. As I suggested, why not amend Sv 25 or Sv 854 instead? Both duplicate each other alot so it would be good to extend one of them to Bukit Panjang.

2. Maybe an extension to Changi Airport would be good?
