Proposed Service Integration

service_238 SG

Hey there..

Just wondering if we could integrate services to create an extra long route and also free up interchange space Very Happy

Svc 18 & 26 (Tampines - Toa Payoh)
Svc 69 & 26 (Tampines - Toa Payoh)
It will bypass the packed Bedok Interchange by turning into New Upp Changi Rd at the junction of Bedok Nth Ave 3 & New Upp Changi Rd

Svc 69 & 81 (Bedok - Serangoon)
It will bypass Tampines Interchange via Tampines Ave 4.

Svc 186 & 125 (Shenton Way - Sims Dr [Loop])
It will bypass St Michael's Terminal by plying Jln Rajah (same as 139)

Svc 163 & 139 (Sengkang - Bt Merah)
It will bypass Toa Payoh Interchange by plying Toa Payoh Central & Lorong 2 Toa Payoh

Svc 220 & 228 (To form another Bedok Townlink Service)
Svc 261 & 262 (To form another AMK Townlink Service)

These are just my suggestions. It's not sent to SBST. If anyone has any proposals, feel free to post them here. Smile Cheers!

My opinion is got more than enough services from Tampines to Toa Payoh already... It's better if can extend to Bishan...
Maybe I'll add in some suggestions...
1. Svc 69 & 29 (Bedok - Changi Village)
2. Svc 31 & 29 (Toa Payoh - Changi Village)
3. Svc 81 & 103 (Tampines - Sengkang)
4. Svc 151 & 119 (Kent Ridge - Sengkang)
5. Svc 86 & 87 (Ang Mo Kio - Bedok) OR
Svc 86, 87 & 18/38/69 (Ang Mo Kio - Tampines) OR
Svc 86, 87 & 17 (Ang Mo Kio - Pasir Ris)
(Alternatively, also can extend from AMK - Bishan if journey can still accomodate this extension)

I think service 8 can be extended to Bishan bypassing Toa Payoh, it might increase loading as loading is not very high either.

Macpherson Road just need 1 sv to TPY. Leaving only 90 can force SBS to improve the full NAC fleet when the SV is actually PAC. This can also force them to introduce ADD as they told me it was not cost effective. Stupid reasoning w/o ADD trial on 90.

An extra long route? U crazy?

IMO, I don't quite agree with the proposed integration of Services 18 or 69 with Service 26.

Service 220 has since been integrated with Service 290 to form Service 38.

Cheers and warm regards

Errr , I am definately against with you guys's ideas . Not only me but the drivers will be real pissed off Razz Anyway , I am currently quite happy with the east services and I see no need of a change perhaps a direct service from the north to Changi village , I guess that is it .

Anyway, nice ideas through but I hope those changes you guys mentioned won't become reality .

There will be FIVE services to TPY from Tampines. Sv. 8, Sv. 28, Sv. 31 and the two amended services, OVERKILL! Perhaps diverting both to St. Michaels or Bishan would do the trick,

tranquilice SG

I guess that your proposal will most probably be rejected by SBST (if you sent), due to the long and winding routes.

foxtrot1985 SG

Well you never know what SBS Transit thinks. They might just like to have another bus service as long-winding as 28.

SBS9818A SG

That is so true. Or making Sv. 174 longer by diverting it.

You guys just simply anyhow hum tham any thing you come in mind.

Just see how many service from Toa Payoh to Tampines. 3 already is so much and you want to increase to 5. Siao ah you guy.

Si beh buay tah han ah. Don't be so gong tai.

foxtrot1985 SG

Actually SBS Transit could also extend one of the 3 bus services to Pasir Ris from Tampines to make it more even (2 from the respective interchanges to Toa Payoh)...

SBS9818A SG

What, extend the already long enough Sv. 28 to Pasir Ris ah? Perhaps extension of Sv. 8 could do the trick.

Zilchster SG

Svc 8 used to operate from Pasir Ris

foxtrot1985 SG

Really? When was it amended to ply from Tampines to Toa Payoh? Was it because of the MRT rationalisation exercise? Anyway, I still think it would be better to re-extend 8 back to Pasir Ris... At least it serves more use...

When Svc 8 was originally introduced…it operated from Pasir Ris to Toa Payoh…remembered tat clearly…as to when it was amended…not very sure…hehehe

Yes, got a pic of a Sv. 8 Scania in SBS 1989 Annual Report, background was Pasir Ris Int.
