freakybuses SG Certainly bigger. If u go to AMK Int, you will find the reason why there are no new services in AMK in these 2 years... as there are hardly any more berths available! 24 takes up 2 berths... one to Tanah Merah and the other to Changi Airport. However, BNL Int is about 3-4 times AMK Int and certainly, there are quite a lot of space to have new berths.
leeJZ SG I only gave a rough estimate - How about this instead - about the size of Bedok, maybe smaller, but BNL handles 29 services while Bedok handles about 25...
Superbus SG At one point of time, Bedok Interchange housed more services than Boon Lay Interchange, thus being the largest Interchange in Singapore in terms of bus services. Cheers and warm regards
tranquilice SG Service 97 is best to integrate with Express 507 or extend back to Hougang Central following service 107.
leeJZ SG If I were a bus, I would prefer going to one busy interchange and a more quieter one, like Sv 10 or 65...
SBS9818A SG In my opinion BNL Int can expand, just take up the field next to the current interchange!
The_Bus_Guide SG FYI, the proposed name for Boon Lay Interchange was actually Jurong West Interchange. I think it is more appropriate as its address is 699 Jurong West Central 3 and it is at the heart of Jurong West New Town. The name Boon Lay was chosen instead to match the name given to the MRT station. And why must people always say Boon Lay and Jurong ulu?
tranquilice SG Yes, Boon Lay interchange/MRT should be called Jurong West interchange/MRT. Don't you feel weird that there's Jurong East but no Jurong West. Boon Lay and Jurong are located at one end of the island, that gives an impression that they are far to reach.
freakybuses SG I will prefer the Express svcs to be charged with normal fares.... there are already some trunk svcs with 1/2 or more of their routes on expressways... 969- 22 fare stages on express sector 965- 16 fare stages on express sector 168- 27 fare stages on express sector 858- 59 fare stages on express sector 161- 20 fare stages on express sector 39- 19 fare stages on express sector
leeJZ SG But you notice none of them hits the city? SBS want to earn more money on the lucrative city traffic
alantanchunshyan SG express services charge higher fares . so very unpopular with public.so lesser and lesser people take.
xian89 SG yah lor... i use to be able to take the express 502 home to hougang. now if ui wan to go back hougang, i have to take a longer bus 111 n change bus
tranquilice SG However, there are services 36, 190, 700, 857 and 960 which hit the city, their routes have express sectors.
SBS9818A SG Then tell me where Sv. 190, Sv. 960, Sv. 36, Sv. 857 go? I didn't know Orchard Rd wasn't part of the city.
PT21 SG I still think Service 502 to be integrated with service 111 to make service 111 stop at Boon Lay. Withdrawl service 502.
