DTL rationalisation speculations

I do not think within the first three months of opening of Downtown Line MRT, there would be (significant) changes to bus routes because of the opening of th...

Shouldn't have closed Hougang South. Should have kept 132 & 151 operating from there. But this is way off topic, of course.

Suggestion: 127 is extended to Compassvale via Tampines Road, BKE, Buangkok Dr, Punggol Road, Sengkang East Ave, Rivervale Dr, Sengkang West Way, Compassvale Interchange

164 is new service:

Compassvale > Sengkang East Rd > Anchorvale St > Anchorvale Dr > Sengkang West Way > Jalan Kayu > Sengkang West Rd > YCK Road > AMK Ave 3 > AMK Interchange

* Provides relief to svc 50

* Connects north part of Sengkang west town to AMK

* Connects YCK Road to AMK Ave 3 (eastern part), no connection today.

Compassvale > Compassvale Rd > Compassvale St > Punggol Rd > TPE Punggol > Tampines Ave 10 > Tampines Ave 9 > Tampines Ave 6 > Tampines Ave 5 > Tampines Ave 4 > Tampines Ave 7 > Changi Airport Terminal 4.

27 is modified service

Actually, what has all these got to do with Downtown Line? Yes, the opening of Downtown Line may bring about changes to bus routes, but none of the posts on this page mention anything about Downtown Line.

No thanks. These are extreme hypothetical situations. It is an undeniable fact that the public transport system is based on MRT-bus integration (however poor some areas might be). Rationalisation is based on finding the optimal balance between MRT and bus.

Ultimately, what matters is the connection to MRT. I believe the relocation of Bus Interchange from Hougang South to Hougang Central was to consolidate resources at Hougang Central, as previously there were multiple bus interchanges in Hougang. As far as the commuters are concerned, the impact is minimal as the routes remain largely the same.

159 should help 50 and by pass the flyover under pass to AMK ave 1 use the old route before mrt start.

Yes. Our public transport is based on the "hub and spoke" model, where the bus and train are integrated to optimise resources. Whenever a new section of MRT opens, rationalisation may be required to reduce duplication of resources, as well as optimise resources.

LTA closed Hougang South and upgraded YCK from terminal to interchange. So inconsistent.

There is Buangcock ITH in future..Extend Hougang Central by a few pathetic lots then later introduce more service..

the interchange is way too small. Where's the "upgraded" YCK ITH?

carbikebus SG

Compassvale is an extension of Sengkang la...Sengkang only 17 lots

SMB145B SG

Amending 965 to terminate at Compassvale interchange?

Oi, why'd you copy my words?

With 20 parking lots, Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange can accommodate 10 bus services.

I believe having 75, 184, 700 at the temporary bus park is only a temporary measure, like how 179, 199 remained at the temporary bus interchange when Boon Lay Bus Interchange opened in 2009.

75, 184, 700 may move into Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange once 979M merges into 979, and once SMRT is more confident with operating Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange.

gekpohboy SG

For the record, the original bus services at the former Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange were 75, 176, 177, 180, 184, 700/A, 920, 922, 970, 971E, 975.

(The press release five years ago)

Of the original bus services, 176, 920, 922, 970, 975 are going to the new bus interchange, whereas 75, 184, 700/A will remain at the temporary bus park.

177, 180, 971E are not returning to the clique.

Actually I do not get it why modify 27 and having svc 44 to cover up the lost sector of 27? By modifying 27 doesnt help since the load is from Sengkang - tampines/Airport. Starting from tampines concurse makes 27 practically useless. People would rather take MRT to airport or use the downtown line (xfer at expo)

127 via BKE from tampines? TPE you mean

The bus services not returning to the clique are 177, 180 and 971E.

Along the way, several BSEP routes appeared. 972, 973 & 979 joined the family, causing a crowd to form.

If not for the chain of events that began way back in 1999, SKG would have been the first ITH run by SMB (formerly Tibs), and a bendy-suitable one too.

SMB may have been given control of BPJ but there is no guarantee they will be around forever, as the contract may change hands when the time comes for tender.

Integration of 27 & 127:

44:

Existing 27 route > then Changi Airport Terminal 4, allow double decker.

Gonna be a white elephant service for 27 after integration. Load at most within tampines town or maybe till airport. Tampines industrial ave 5 and tampines road iload is at most 5. So no use

It will be good if there is a service then runs parallel with 27 then go into T4. Can start from compassvale as thats the most heavy load (Sengkang - tampines)
