You're so happy ah for 381,Your predictions is almost true leh..Make me wonder if you're working for LTA?đ¤ I didn't expect 381 to go one big round via Soo...

CZT SG

and coincidentally 137 is vry similar to BusAnalyzer's suggestion

Vampire77lim SG

137 that can have double dack than 63m LTA CAN'T PROVIDE THE FEEDBACK on lta can't provide the bus service

Path Light SG

and coincidentally 137 is vry similar to BusAnalyzer's suggestion

How you know?

carbikebus SG

i think 137 is going to be a big hit

Yes,more like industrial service...Weekdays sure a big hit.

Most probably 9 DD and 4 SD for a start.

SMB1368T SG

So 18 & 293 will serve the stops outside TP MRT? Niceeeee

BusAnalayzer SG

i think 137 is going to be a big hit

It sure will. It is exactly the same route I had proposed (except for the Bedok North Ave 3 - UEC part). But its a good one.

Connects UEC Road to Bedok MRT (no connection today except for winding 14)

Connects Bedok North st 3 to Bedok North MRT

Connects Bedok North / UBi / Macpherson to Kaki Bukit Estate.

All in all very good route and should do well with a DD fleet.

Yes I am pretty happy about that except the Bedok North Ave 3 -> UEC side as I had recommended it go to CBP. But nevertheless it is still good as it connects Bedok MRT to UEC road that does not have a direct link apart from the winding svc 14.

BusAnalayzer SG

Surprised they touched 18 instead of 4/19/37/81; not only is the route longer but there's significant duplication to 28. Perhaps modifying 38 may have been a better move?

118's amendment seems bad, there's considerable demand along CS Ave 2 (for both 47 and 118).

Both 137 and 298 are interesting. 20 is well expected.

No changes to 46 with the modifications of 18 & 293, can keep and probably extend to Pasir Ris in the future.

18 is a good choice as the service was under-utilized anyway. this will give it a boost. 4/19/37 cannot be touched. Already heavy loading. 38 is debatable as it will connect it to Simei but with 18 it connects it to Tampines West like svc 28 (which is already overcrowded).

I am surprised with 118 amendment as well. There is need for another service in CBP and I am surprised LTA does not want to introduce new service even when all 20, 47 and 118 are super hit in the CBP area.

It sure will. It is exactly the same route I had proposed (except for the Bedok North Ave 3 - UEC part). But its a good one.

Connects Bedok North st 3 to Bedok North MRT

Connects Bedok North / UBi / Macpherson to Kaki Bukit Estate.

All in all very good route and should do well with a DD fleet.

I wonder how 137 will survive the jam at Ubi/Kaki Bukit area

BusAnalayzer SG

298 route is good though now you have 291, 293 and 298 all doing Tampines Ave 3 (a bit of an overkill).

BusAnalayzer SG

modification of 293 is a bit surprising as it takes out the ONLY service from Tampines St 42/43/44. This means the bus stop will need to be removed. A bit adventurous compared to LTA style. Having said that good for st 45 who will get svc 293 in both directions now.

BusAnalayzer SG

I wonder how 137 will survive the jam at Ubi/Kaki Bukit area

Well... it should be okay... There are huge jams at the entrance of Jurong East and Boon Lay but the services do survive okay.

137 provides new connection to Kaki Bukit Estate, something which was long over-due.

BusAnalayzer SG

Yes,more like industrial service...Weekdays sure a big hit.

Most probably 9 DD and 4 SD for a start.

Should be full fleet DD on weekdays.

TIB 585L SG

Looking at the route im guessing 90 mins runtime

Last proposal for DTL3 connector - svc 44

Eunos Interchange --> Sims Ave East --> Chai Chee Dr --> Chai Chee St --> Bedok North Road (BDK North MRT)--> Bedok Reservoir Road --> Bedok North Ave 3 (BDR MRT)--> Bedok North Road --> Bedok North Ave 4 --> Simei Ave --> Xilin Ave --> Changi South Ave 1 (Expo MRT) --> Changi Business Park --> CBP Terminal.

* Connects Chai Chee Estate to Bedok North MRT (no connection today) and Eunos (svc 26 duplication)

* Connects Bedok Reservoir to Bedok North MRT (no connection today, people have to back track to Bedok Reservoir)

* Connects Bedok North Ave 4 and Simei Ave to Bedok Reservoir MRT (no connection today). Can replace 17A as people will get split between svc 17 and 44

* Connects CBP to Bedok North Estate. Many office goers in CBP live around condos in Bedok Reservoir.

This should go under suggestions / DTL rationalisation thread...

I was considering 506 for a link to CBP seeing that it would be better utilized due to the service's greater outreach and can be a cheaper alternative for some of the premiums (e.g. transfers at TPY), but this one can help out too.

Consider merging with 76?

Sims Pl to UEC is quite near but the winding route,Lol

TIB 585L SG
