The last one would be a Sengkang route

Of course not Hougang must be Sengkang mah.

There are SO MANY flats at Hougang St 51, Ave 4, Sengkang East Ave, Rivervale Lane/Walk, Anchorvale, and now Buangkok Cres that nearest MRT is Buangkok, yet there is NO DIRECT LINK to Buangkok MRT! And LTA didn't give any hoots for so many years!

Hougang and Sengkang MRT are so (over)crowded, Buangkok is so empty. All thanks to LTA's laziness, ignorance and horrible foresight.

Sbs6750E SG

Good route. 329 would connect residents of Buangkok Crescent to the community amenities at Hougang Avenue 9 and Hougang Avenue 4, as well as provide a link to Hougang MRT Station that is comparable to bus service 101.

I expect this bus to have 20 to 40 passengers throughout the day.

6 single-decker buses should be enough to operate the service on 6 minutes frequency.

good route for those who don't unterstand the situation at the north east region.

The bus service 101 is under seangroon eunos package even the bus service seangroon - eunos package the bus service lta can't provide the bus service

Vampire77lim SG

Feeder.

Right now the only people I've seen who take bus to Buangkok MRT are the Hougang St 51/Buangkok Green residents (43/M), Upper Serangoon View/Cres residents (102), and Hougang Ave 6 residents (27).

Surprisingly, there are also some Serangoon North residents who take 43/M to Buangkok, to avoid crowds at Hougang and Serangoon.

Feeder.

Someone here said it was '290' and will serve Tampines St 86.

When Buangkok Bus Interchange opens around four years from now, there will be route amendments.

Sbs6750E SG

When Buangkok Bus Interchange opens around five years from now, there will be route amendments.

You better make sure okay?

gekpohboy SG

Obviously there will be route amendments.

Last time Joo Koon, Punggol and Sembawang Bus Interchanges opened, bus routes were amended.

Next time Buangkok Bus Interchange open, confirm also got bus routes amended.

SBS3004X SG

Compassvale Cres/Rd(bet Compassvale Dr and Sengkang East Ave) ppl also.

Compassvale Lane. Yes.

Edit: Missed out those along Buangkok Drive (opposite Sengkang Fire Station).

SBS3004X SG

More complaints are coming in on LTA Facebook, asking for a service to Buangkok MRT and even AMK MRT.

Tell me which services were amended when Compassvale Int opened?

To be fair, Buangkok is not the only 'white elephant' MRT with limited connections to flats in nearby town(s). Bukit Gombak and Marsiling both suffer from the same fate, and personally I think Caldecott and Chinese Garden are the worst.

Although there's definitely A LOT to do for stations like Buangkok to catch up with good examples such as Tanah Merah and Lakeside. I thought LTA's mindset had changed when they introduced routes like 258 to Pioneer and 129 to Braddell, but now it's clear they haven't.

If they don't do something about it before DTL3 opens (which they probably won't as seen from their refusal to extend 228 to Kaki Bukit), there is going to be chaos.

dupdup77 SG

And no service linking Buangkok Cres to Buangkok MRT? Any feeder, no matter how direct, is useless if there is no link to the nearest MRT!

What is the damn point of having a new feeder to complement a more winding service, just to link to the 2nd nearest MRT, and have no link to the actual nearest MRT?

This is one of the most stupid new routes I've seen by LTA.

Hi mr sbs3004X, buangkok crescent is in the midst of hougang town. It is considered slightly nearer to buangkok mrt than hougang mrt. Take note that for buangkok crescent, the planning is more towards hougang territory.

When they launch new services, they not only need to link it to mrt, they also need to link it to amenities along hougang estates to fetch residents. Note it bypasses hougang 1 mall and ci yuan hawker centre and some schools as well. Thus linking to hougang mrt will be a more rational thinking. It also gives buangkok crescent residents a different link to hougang. 101 goes by hougang ave 8 and 329 goes by hougang ave 9. 2 different routes. Cheers. Thanks.
