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

Then deploy the 97xx buses on ZYX service 51. Razz

tranquilice SG

I don't think heavy vehicles can do so.

tranquilice SG

Choa Chu Kang Link/Stagmont Ring is very narrow due to the railway crossing. It's even more narrow than Kranji Rd which has a railway crossing too.

Perhaps you can re-route it via CCK Dr, North 7, Way, Sungei Kadut Loop and Ave.

*() denotes express sector[/b]

I feel that service 45 is unlikely to be accepted in real life as:

1. AMK - Yishun via MRT only needs 15 mins at most.

2. It's too winding unless you are talking about merger of 2 feeders, like svs 3 and 38.

New service at Harbourfront? Hmm…very unlikely… But, anything’s possible… I doubt it’s a Tibs service although i strongly support Tibs to introduce new service at Harbourfront. Tibs deserves to introduce a new service coz Harbourfront is already booming with SBST services. I’m not talking bout Harbourfront Int but along Harbourfront. Anyway, whichever company were to introduce the service, i look forward to see what route it plies via…

leeJZ SG

Since Sv 72 is a high demand route and Sv 27 not enough to compliment it...why not do the following to ease passenger demand...

1. Introduce a loop service from Tampines - Tampines Dormitory...
SERVICE 5 - Tampines Interchange - Tampines Ave 4 - Tampines St 21 - Tampines Ave 2 - Tampines Ave 4 - Tampines Ave 5 - Tampines St 83 - Tampines Ave 3 - Tampines Ave 8 - Tampines Ave 5 - Tampines Ave 10 - Tampines Ind Ave 2 - Tampines Place (Tampines Dormitory) - Tampines Ind Ave 2 - Tampines Ave 10 - Tampines Ave 5 - Tampines Ave 8 - Tampines Ave 3 - Tampines St 83 - Tampines Ave 5 - Tampines Ave 4 - Tampines Ave 2 - Tampines St 21 - Tampines Ave 4 - Tampines Interchange

2. Reroute Sv 81...demand is not too great Tampines-Serangoon...

Tampines Interchange - Tampines Ave 7 - Loyang Ave - Pasir Ris Dr 1 - Pasir Ris Dr 12 - TPE - Tampines Rd - Hougang Ave 3 - Hougang Central - Hougang Ave 4 - Hougang Ave 9 - Yio Chu Kang Rd - Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 - Ang Mo Kio Ave 8 -Yio Chu Kang Interchange

freakybuses SG

The Yishun route of Svc 45 serves like a feeder too. (Yishun - Yishun Ave 1) Sort of combining svc 812 n 811 but serving less areas than the 2 routes... plus Yishun Central & Yishun Ave 1 (near Lentor) has no bus serving. Linking the current route of 269 to Yishun may save some people from transferring to svcs.

1. Yio Chu Kang is a Terminal
2. Why not terminate at Ang Mo Kio Int? Not a single soul takes a bus from AMK int to YCK Ter... It's also easier for commuters to transfer bus.
3. One SBST svc may be withdrawn if this route is used.(cant remember if it's 88, 159 or 72) due to route duplication

freakybuses SG

And also Svc 5 shld be renumbered as 295... since it's a feeder...

freakybuses SG

You mean the route below?

* Does not ply in Sungei Kadut Loop

service_238 SG

Svc 5 route too winding around Tampines, especially when it bypasses tampines central area twice.

As for 81, people take this bus to get to SRJC. Rerouting it will result in a transfer or extra walking for the students. Sv 81 has vv low demand between Kovan - Serangoon. Maybe loop at Kovan?

leeJZ SG

Hmm, but will loop at Kovan be too long for loop service?

kuang SG

Is it possible to divert 927 to ply via Yew Tee? I mean, sv 927 route is quite pathetic other than the zoo. Once upon a time, it used to link CCK and Bt Panjang residents to the zoo…..

service_238 SG

If Svc 9 89 can loop at CACC, why cant Svc 81 loop at Kovan?

freakybuses SG

shld extend to amk frm kovan... no use to loop at kovan cuz low no. of commuters. at least got svc to serve amk to kovan other than 136 (takes 45 mins to get there!!!)

tranquilice SG

Yes, correct. From what I saw in the street directory, Sungei Kadut Loop connects CCK Way and Sungei Kadut Ave.

tranquilice SG

I would prefer service 925 to ply via Yew Tee. So that passengers of Sungei Kadut transferring to NSL towards Jurong East can transfer at Yew Tee MRT which is nearer instead of CCK MRT.

Service 927 has to ply Woodlands Rd, for passengers of other services like 170, 178 and 961 to transfer to this service to get to the zoo.

service_238 SG

freakybuses: It'd be best if you could consult the st directory before implementing your fantasy route. Smile No hard feelings but this would facillitate us in understanding your route better.

leeJZ SG

Hmm...ok I'll do this...

Sv 81 will ply its current route from Tampines Interchange - Tampines Rd, then will switch to my route (stated somewhere in this topic) and terminate at Ang Mo Kio not Yio Chu Kang.

Sv 295 (renumbered from Sv 5) will not loop around Tampines that much...

tranquilice SG

Two more things: have to make sure whether the bus can turn right at a junction, have to make sure there are no height restriction for services using DD. Wink
