Better link coverage

No comments. They can take to Toa Payoh to get to other places.

how about using the rest of Tampines Ave 2 as part of the return route? It’d be more convenient for the buses and also better

Bt Panjang

one of the worst link of all new towns. I miss service 5

Also I was thinking of a service that will complete with LRT

183
CCK Ave 4, Dr, Teck Whye Ave, CCK Rd, Bt Panjang Rd, Jelebu Rd, Petir Rd, Pending Rd, Bt Panjang Ring Rd, Fajar Road.

Actually, the sv is just to link CCK to the parts of Bt Panjang that are poorly served.

But this idea may not come true.

Nope, the u-turn at Simei can only accomodate cars as its too narrow. AFAIK only the Eng Neo flyover has a u-turn that may be able to accomodate buses.

Woodlands

Very good linkage espically to the East as of SBS entering WDL. But I hope to see buses to PSR

I believed at 1 pt, there was no feeder service in WDL right?

Personally, I think it's quite hard for either SBS or TIBS to start a new service to Pasir Ris (though I won't rule out the possibility). Why? Simply because there is already in place 4 services (161, 168, 965, 969) which will allow someone to get to Pasir Ris easily just by hopping to another service.

161 -> 88/89 (Sengkang)
168 -> 15/21/81 (Tampines)
965 -> 39 (Yishun) or 88/89 (Sengkang)
969 -> 39 (Yishun) 15/21/81 (Tampines)

Unless the new service plys elsewhere before terminating at Pasir Ris, otherwise if it covers the same route as the 4 services, I would say it's quite hard to introduce a new service.

svc ZYX888 fills the void up liao. except fajar road part that is not served by my 920 . that one i guess the peeps have to walk...oops

at current there are no plans for a WDL to PSR ZYX bus service.
however one could take many services out to Jln kayu camp bus stop to transfer to ZYX859 which goes PSR central.

I don't get your meaning. Do you mean no feeder services in the early days?

SBS9818A SG

There were feeder services. Case in point, Sv. 372

th1988 SG

What I meant was that when all feeders became 911, 912, 913. I think I'm wrong as whether was 903 launched at the same time?

off_service SG

If I did not remember wrongly, the Intra-town feeders were introduced in 1996 after the Woodlands Regional Interchange opened. Service 903 is already existent then, only that it is not merged into a Intra-town feeder.

tranquilice SG

All the Woodlands intra-town services were introduced in 1996, but not soon after WRI started operation.

Summary of changes:
372 903
901 (former) Split into services 901 and 904
900 (former) + 901 (former) 911
902 + 905 912
904 + 906 913

Current services 900 and 901 were introduced later.

Sembawang

Adequate bus services (At least 4 for 16,000 units)

But I want to see links to East and West.

service_238 SG

Take the MRT. It's faster for the residents.

leeJZ SG

If you want to go the city/central area like Toa Payoh, fine. But if you want to go to the far East/far West, its a waste of time going all the way down to City Hall...

delonchew SG

Yup, I agree. Total waste of time to go down to town area before heading east or west.

tranquilice SG

Tibs will mention this: transfer at Yishun or Woodlands.

th1988 SG

Yishun does not have svs to West. Maybe WDL.

If they say that then I will do this

Take MRT to WDL and take 161/ 168 and boycott Tibs

tranquilice SG

Services 171 and 852.

SBS9818A SG

Hmm, didn't know Bukit Panjang and Bukit Batok are not in the west.
