Bus Stops 2

freakybuses SG

Can't find the 1st thread...so start a new one...

Btw, have you discovered the unique patterns of bus stops in every town? Here are some discoveries for AMK bus stops:

Ang Mo Kio Ave 1, 3, 6 & 8: Red roof tops and green metal rectangular bars.
Ang Mo Kio Ave 4, 5(Bef CTE) & 10(Sth), St 11, 13, 52, 53, 54, 61, 62, 63, 64: Red roof tops and yellow metal bars and circular bars unpainted.
Ang Mo Kio Ave 3(Opp Big Mac Ctr), 10 (Nth), Ave 5 (Aft CTE): New bus stops. Grey ones.
Ang Mo Kio Ave 2: Orange and pale yellow stripes (1980s type of bus stops)
Ang Mo Kio Ave 5: Pair of bus stops (Opp/Bef Ind Pk 2) Unique design. Silver/Blue Green/Yellow bus stop.

They are the first bus stops in Singapore to be revamped since the orange-white bus stops era. A total of 100 bus stops, or 50 pairs, in the CBD and AMK were selected for the new bus stop design trial, which had included fans & even water coolers powered by solar panels. The additional features were eventually found to be a waste of public resources, and the solar panels were too expensive to install yet ineffective & inefficient in generating power.

Ang Mo Kio Ave 4, 5(Bef CTE) & 10(Sth), St 11, 13, 52, 53, 54, 61, 62, 63, 64: Red roof tops and yellow metal bars and circular bars unpainted.

These are the first-generation design by JCDecaux after opinions were gathered regarding the initial trial design.

Ang Mo Kio Ave 3(Opp Big Mac Ctr), 10 (Nth), Ave 5 (Aft CTE): New bus stops. Grey ones.

These are the second-generation design by JCDecaux.

Ang Mo Kio Ave 2: Orange and pale yellow stripes (1980s type of bus stops)

They are bus stops that are not upgraded yet.

Ang Mo Kio Ave 5: Pair of bus stops (Opp/Bef Ind Pk 2) Unique design. Silver/Blue Green/Yellow bus stop.

They are most probably a on-trial design or built by the landlord of a nearby industrial building as part of the overall design to fit into the colour scheme & asthetics of the building.

Temporary bus stops, as the new ones are sponsored. Bishan stops all have the same generic design.

Orchard Boulevard. Specially for services turning right to Scotts Road, like Services 143, 171 and 190.

Cheers and warm regards

Does Coleman Street have it too?

leeJZ SG

There are two bus stops there, one for services going towards Holland Rd, the other for the ones toward Scotts Rd, but SBS / TIBS still considers the two a seperate bus stop.

Another instance of two stops = 1 bus stop is the Buona Vista MRT bus stop.

Unique bus stops:
AMK Ave 5: Mentioned in earlier post
AMK Ave 8: Long bus stop with blue shelter aft AMK Int (Opp Blk 710)
Sungei Tengah Rd: Flat roof bus stop (orange).... Bef 1980 style...
Lim Chu Kang: Unsheltered bus stops
Sengkang East Way: Os CHIJ St Thersa.... bus stop colours same as the school building colours

If you know more, please add on.

Superbus SG

So isn't what I said earlier meant the same? They are two separate stops located at either side of Orchard Boulevard. It has never been considered one stop by anyone.

Cheers and warm regards

Bus Stops finding report in the North West. Dated 22/5/2004.

Bukit Panjang: Red roof tops and with brown walls. Same structure as AMK bus stops.

Choa Chu Kang: Have they been repainted? Grey paint has ripped off from some bus stops and blue patches hae appeared. Grey rounded roof top with structure like the pair of outstanding bus stops along AMK Ave 5.

Bukit Batok: 2 types of bus stops. One type is the new bus stops in majority neighbourhoods in Bt Batok. Another type seen along Bukit Batok West Ave 2 (bef Bukit Batok Ctrl). Same structure as the bus stops of AMK St 52/53/54 except the bus stop is flat roofed and light blue-green based walls.

Northwest Singapore is quite lucky. Most of the original bus stops are preserved.

CCK bus stops was repainted partially in 2001, during the election.

freakybuses SG

But not Bukit Batok. Many perished.

cck_190 SG

If I'm not wrong, Bukit Batok Bus Stops were built as part of a pilot plan to improve bus-stops in the mid 90s?

freakybuses SG

then how come ended up with 2 bus stops surviving along West Ave 2?
