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...

i think the best is to not to touch any services until the demand is no more. but with a proper planning by LTA some services can still have money making. the main thing is the line is by sbst and year end a new bus operator comming in some service is taking over by the new operator so if LTA can allow some kind of healthy competition among operators might be good for the public. mean some service can turn semi express or fully express by the operators. and sbst give up jurong east and smrt give up bukit batok is a good deal.

65 get few sd. no more full fleet dd.

66 route may change.

67 route may split as some of you say already.

23 route i see no change.

22 might get more sd in fleet

8 route i see no change

5/58/59 also stay same

61 can split like 67 into two service

I can safely say that no bus routes will be cut at least until 2018

Service 61 may ply different route with Service 8, 22, 28, 59 and 66

Easy lah, 66 can ply Jln Jurong Kechil, PIE, Whitly Rd, Dunern Rd/Bt Timah Rd, S’goon Rd/Bendemir Rd/Jln Besar/Rochor Canal Rd, PIE, Bedok Reservoir Rd.

You mean Whitley Road, Bendemeer and Dunearn Road?

Both suggestions are highly unlikely.

972 will not extend. If has to, 700 will extend to CCK via Keat Hong to provide Keat Hong residents direct access to Orchard road.

23 unlikely. Why when DTL is anyway going to be there?

i rather 700 extend to woodlands though it is super packed already

What's the advantage? You already have hordes of other services from BPJ to Woodlands, not to mention 966 from Petir road to Woodlands as well.

I'd rather have 700 connect the new Keat Hong town with direct service to Orchard, and have CCK MRT direct connectivity to Petir road. Also will serve as alternative to 983 to reach BPJ MRT.

Not a bad suggestion... so basically the service will skip all of Bukit Timah road, and enter only at Macpherson road right (will skip all of Serangoon road as well).

SBS 9256 X SG

Not a bad suggestion... so basically the service will skip all of Bukit Timah road, and enter only at Macpherson road right (will skip all of Serangoon road as well).

So the route will be somethink like this?

Svc 66:

Jurong East Interchange
Jurong East Central
Jurong Town Hall Road
Bukit Batok Road
Bukit Batok West Ave 3/Central/East Ave 6
Jln Jurong Kechil
PIE
Whitley Rd
Dunearn/Bukit Timah Rd
Serangoon Rd
Macpherson Rd
Eunos Link
PIE
Bedok North Rd
Bedok Reservoir Rd
Bedok North Ave 3
Bedok North St 1
Bedok Interchange

*In red changes to the route

Svc 66:

*In red changes to the route

I'll keep the link between Eunos Link and Bedok North Ave 3 via Bedok Reservoir Road.The missine link of 66 can be covered by sv 67.

Ngee Ann Polytechnic may introduce new shuttle buses to Ngee Ann Polytechnic, from King Albert Park MRT Station.

However, some changes to road infrastructure may be required.

Or maybe they will first see if existing services 74, 151, 154 can cater to the demand.

Given that train service disruptions of today's scale may continue to occur, it is better not to rationalize any bus services for now even if more MRT stations open.

Given that train service disruptions of today's scale may continue to occur, it is better not to rationalize any bus services for now even if more MRT stations open.

last time was NSL whole line disruption

now EWL joins in

maybe next time even CCL, DTL and NEL all join in

so no more bus rationlisation. it is like trying to remove 190

indeed. today's farcical events is a total mockery of the government's previous acts of so-called 'rationalization' of bus services. 'alternatives' to the MRT nowadays are either impractical and a waste of time or non-existent.

forget the idea of bus rationlisation. i hope LTA should instead consider BRT services in singapore. a simple full day bus lanes on key roads, bus give way signal light on key road junctions and also having semi-express service like 190,23 59 700 should made it a better public transport system for singapore.

Breakdown of MRT/tube networks happen everywhere be it Paris, London, NYC or Singapore. We have to get better at our maintenance to minimize this, but once in a while one of the lines will give in...

What LTA does well is management of these crisis... which I have seen is done much better in our country than many European countries and developed nations.

I seriously wonder what happens if TT etc. comes in...

Today, right at Dover Stn, 166 BC didn't even bother to tell pax it's free ride. But only 106 BC + Inspector does. Poster also clearly states both SBS Transit n SMRT...
