Of course, "extortion" service.

it seems there are few bus services to beach rd.only namely sbstransit 100,107 and tibs 961 and 980.what could be the reasons for few buses to beach rd?

service_238 SG

Low demand of services and these services have vital links to many places.

ditzy SG

Well, having those 4 svcs seemed pretty reasonable enough. There are 2 more roads parallel to it, namely nicoll highway and north bridge rd that have ample svcs.

alantanchunshyan SG

how about admend 106 and let it serve beach rd then to geylang lor 1 terminal?find that 106 and 77 have similar route from napier rd to bras basah rd. Neutral

tranquilice SG

Note that there is only one service between Crawford St/Republic Ave and Jln Sultan, towards the city. It would be better if services 961 and 980 ply this stretch in this direction.

tranquilice SG

I agree that Nth Bridge Rd has ample services, but note that this is a one-way road, it will be a far walk from Beach Rd to Victoria St for buses in the other direction.

tranquilice SG

Good idea, since there is no link between Beach Rd and Orchard.

alantanchunshyan SG

i have also thought of the route and new route no.maybe rename 106 into 986.

direction 1 towards geylang lor 1
after bras basah rd
prinsep st,selegie rd,ophir rd,beach rd,crawford st,kallang rd and finally geylang lor 1 terminal.

direction 2 towards bt batok
from geylang lor 1 terminal,kallang rd,crawford st,north bridge rd,jin sultan,beach rd,rochor rd,bencoolen st and then to orchard rd .the rest of the route remain unchanged.

Sv. 56 also serves Beach Rd.

alantanchunshyan SG

nearly forget about 56 also serve beach rd.maybe should tell sbstransit to have 56 loop at jin sultan . Very Happy

SBS9818A SG

Cannot. TPY and Bishan would lose its link to Marina Centre.

freakybuses SG

There used to be a lot of buses to Beach Rd in 1980s… but so suay tt most routes duplicate with e MRT… so got withdrawn… then left with 5 svcs

service_238 SG

I'll kill u if this happens... but then again it wont... so your life is spared Mr. Green

SBS9818A SG

It would be very unlikely too. Considering SBST considered amending Sv. 56 last year, but was rejected by PTC. If it happened, Middle Rd would not have any bus services.

alantanchunshyan SG

Idea how about loop 56 at temasek ave ?

alantanchunshyan SG

maybe tibs 171 can also extend to geylang lor 1 terminal.admend 171 ,after bras basah rd,admend to serve beach rd ,crawford st,kallang rd,then to geylang lor 1 terminal.return route would be kallang rd,jin sultan,then beach rd before proceeding to bras basah rd. Smile

service_238 SG

Not a bad idea but the trip can be as long as 961 if this happens.

sbs&tibs SG

Very Happy

tranquilice SG

That will mean service 195 will be the only SBST service at the terminal. Don't think SBST will like this.

SBS9818A SG

Yes, it would mean SBST are giving up Marina Center Ter to TIBS.
