Fantasy bus routes

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

tranquilice SG

Agreed, it's long winded.

Yusry SG

Earlier, someone mentioned (maybe in another thread) about combining 502 and 111. I've taken the initiative to create a combined route.

In the case of this combined 111 + 502, it will skip 2 pairs of bus stops along Napier Road in both directions.

In the direction to Suntec, it is Red Plate and stops at Ghim Moh Terminal and south bound Ghim Moh Road.

It uses White Plate in the direction to Boon Lay and stops only on the north bound Ghim Moh Road and alighting only at Ghim Moh Terminal.

Services 74, 99 and 105 are used as precedents for fare stage calculations. I've assumed 0.5 fare stage between Clementi Avenue 2 and Clementi Road in both directions as there is no precedent set.

See here for the Excel file:

Update: Can someone confirm whether a right turn from Ghim Moh Road to Commonwealth Avenue West is possible?

Yes It is possible although not many vehicles use it.

Red plate: Missed out the bus stop outside Blk 13 @GHM Rd. Did u purposely skip it?

White Plate: Missed out the stop outside Blk 12 @GHM Rd. Another skipping?

How abt using the red and white plate to the advantage i.e call the GHM bus stops in both directions?

Just my 2 cents... hope u dont mind... Smile

Yusry SG

Yes, I purposedly skipped it. I did mention in my original post.

Initially, I wanted to call at both bus stops, but I felt that Ghim Moh Road is so narrow (you can just jaywalk across), that there was no real need to call at both sides in any direction.

But since both sides are of the same fare-stage, it makes no difference to the commuter which bus stop he boards from, so that can always be changed.

tranquilice SG

Forbidden file. Cannot be opened.

Yusry SG

NUS School of Computing is having some maintenance. I cannot access other student's webpages too, not just mine.

freakybuses SG

now can be accessed.

iamgoondu SG

I'm not sure if there is a real demand for such route. Between Boon Lay and Commonwealth, we have SBST198, between Jurong East and Commonwealth, we have SBST105.

If that's was to integrate both SBST502 and SBST111, then I would prefer to leave them as they were. At least I still have accessed to SBST502 at Holland Village.

iamgoondu SG

You had removed the stops os/opp Holland Village for too . Prior the cutbacks to Suntec, I had requested for SBST502 to stop at HV for better connections between Holland V and Sengkang and Holland V and Boon Lay. Hence I won't feel good if that were to be removed.

Yusry SG

Your comments are hereby noted. I will finetune the route. Anyway, this is just a fantasy route. Very Happy

Yusry SG

Here's another of my fantasy routes - a combination of 97 and 507.

As far as I have checked, this combination does not skip any bus stops served by current 97 and 507 except for AYE between Clementi Road and Buona Vista Flyover and Cecil St (plies via parallel Robinsons Road)

The bus also skips the bus stop opposite The Oriental Singapore to stop at Marina Centre terminal for a driver change of shift. No boarding and alighting allowed here. It will stop at Marina Promenade Park, though.

I have also amended 97 to ply Kent Ridge Cres and Lower Kent Ridge Road in both directions to provide lazy buggers like me a convenient link between School of Computing and HarbourFront. Mr. Green

Link is the same Excel file as my Fantasy 111.

ZYX northern bus rationalisation excercise

ZYX88 will be integrated with ZYX238 wef APR 24, 2004

ZYX88 will be amended within TPY new town following the exact route of 238. once turns out to braddell road it goes to the orginal 88 all the way to Pasir ris.

and on the return route, the bus 88 will go into toa payoh by way of 238's former route.

with the chnage ZYX88 will be turned into a HYBRID service. charging flat fare between braddell road and TPY and normal DRFbetween PSR and toa payoh

ZYX88 will then be taking in the habit fleet of 238 along with the current fleet of tridents, Mercs, Scania L94Ubs, Vo3x. Residents along lor 8 will enjoy a more variety of buses to take. =)

the frequency of ZYX88 will be unchaged at 4-6 mins. hence during peak hours a short working trip ZYX88=238 will be introduced (keeping the number 238 alive =P),. the short working trip will be officially called 88C however.

88C (ZYX88-238 will run on the former 238 route entirely)
