As you know, S'pore's transport network is good, but also not very good. So what new bus servcies would u like?

I want a bus service that goes from Choa Chu Kang to Ang Mo Kio via Bt. Panjang, BKE, PIE, MacRitchie, Bishan. The MRT Woodlands loop is too big! And if i take 190 and change to 156 at Whitley, it goes one big round also

There should be more bus services connecting the West to the Central/North-East region of S'pore via expressways. My friends living in Jurong are complaining about the inaccessibility from the West to Sengkang. I think the services using from Woodlands to Bedok, Sengkang, Tampines are just a headstart only for such "express" services.

Sembawang MRT to Changi Village

Having to take 859 and transfer to 969 (or MRT) than 19/29 is simply to far..

Sembawang MRT to Boon Lay / Jurong East

TIBS lack of buses going to these 2 places without going one big round. 178 and 187 make huge rounds before going to Boon Lay.

Basically, Sembawang is still "under-developed", that's why Tibs is not planning buses from there. Not enough passengers, so not enough $$$. But ironically, Bishan is developed but the bus services seem rather "basic".

more night riders

skeujin SG

i want a bus tt will bring me to all the tourist spots in spore! no nid to change diff buses.

off_service SG

NightRider are special services and I don't think bus companies will start a new service if it's not profitable.

Note that SBS Transit has changed all it's NiteOwl services (except 65M and 174M) to Festive seasons service. Also TIBS withdrew 10 NR services back in December 2001.

Services 859, 962 and 980 are using Bendy Buses as part of their fleet. Is this "underdeveloped"?

oliver_yuen87 SG

maybe not... but what about Bishan?

off_service SG

I guess Bishan and Sembawang are in their present state due to the MRT line.

Bukit Batok to NTU. Twisted Evil

oliver_yuen87 SG

guess 85 will be withdrawn due to same reason also...

oliver_yuen87 SG

dun worry... NTU getting LRT right?

off_service SG

Is it?

off_service SG

If this is the case, service 80 might get the Tridents.

Parka SG

Sure or not? But by the time they finish building, I'm gone already lor.

Didn't see anyone digging holes in school...

Hi,

The LRT which he's referring to is the Western Regional Line, which will cover areas of Jurong East/West up to NTU/NIE. The line is still under planning and it is slated for development within the next 10-15 years. Other MRT lines under planning at this stage alongside WRL is the Eastern Regional Line and the Bukit Timah Line.

Cheers and warm regards

I like to see SBS buses in Bukit Panjang , Bukit batok , Choa Chu Kang and Yishun areas . I hope SBS will take back buses 61 , 67 , 77 and 190 . I really missed them in SBS Colours but i know that wont happen . If they do take those buses back , hopefully by then SBS will introduce the new batch of low floor buses for them .

Hee ~~~ Razz just a wishful thought . Dont blast me TIBS fans .

I hate Svc 156 to be extended to Sengkang!!!!! If it isn't the case, I will have a straight bus to Bishan from Serangoon Interchange!!! Mad How I WISH that SBST could introduce a service to Bishan from Serangoon Interchange.

off_service SG

SBS Transit would do that, if only they find it cost effective.

SBS9816E SG

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. Everytime when I go to Bishan, I must take 133 or 135 to Boundary Rd and transfer Svc 156 or 53. Otherwise, I will walk to Boundary Rd and wait for either one of these svcs.
