============================

Extended service 121: Bt Merah -- Hougang

With reference to this.

The two "halves" of 51 now meet at Chinatown / Bugis.

With this modification, 272 will be withdrawn / renamed 121M. On trip towards Hougang, 121 will loop in to serve Telok Blangah Cres before the bus stop at Radin Mas CC to compensate for the loss of the loop, thus deploying red & white plate at Telok Blangah Cres.

Can expect decent demand on areas running parallel to 172/975, but perhaps less for the NTU sector except during school peak hours. Provided that both ends have space to accomodate new services, of course.

I would choose option 2. Not exactly helpful for such a service to double as a JIS route, and the link to Gul Circle MRT station isn't really that necessary IMO.

507 from Bedok to Toh Guan same as 506 route but bypass tradehub 21 and international business Park. and IMM loop at Toh Guan and every 5 to 10 min waiting time. stop along PIE like 985 or 151 or 153

Don't think Toh Guan have that high a demand for intertown routes. Duplication with 506 and having a 5-10 min frequency is even more out of the question, when 506 is running at some 20+ mins frequency with just enough demand. Besides, there's already 502.

Though it could be possible that 41 would be extended along PIE to Jln Toa Payoh and Bidadari in the future, IF there's demand for it.

Extended service 121: Bt Merah -- Hougang

With reference to this.

It will be good if 121 still plies to Outram Rd then Eu Tong Sen, meeting 51 at Havelock junction.
Since 121 caters Telok Blangah to SGH

Could do (as a way to reduce journey time), seeing that Toh Guan Rd already has 41 to Toh Guan Rd East, 52/105 to Clementi MRT, and 188 to NUS and Pasir Panjang. Though some residents may be unhappy with a lost link to Science Park and UTown, or to have to squeeze in a more crowded bus.

But the need of having a bus service along Jurong East St 21 is questionable, and the link to NTFH is already provided by 49/990 from JE and 99 from Clementi.

This has probably been brought up before, but I'll just post it again here.

Purpose of this is to improve utility of service 150 (with reference to this), as well as releasing 15 from its liability to serve Telok Kurau and allowing DDs on board.

Given 150's supposed poor loading, it's better to let 134 do the job for the inbound route to Marine Terrace, but leave residents the choice for either of the two routes when they leave their homes.

===================================

Extension of service 150: Eunos -- Marine Parade Rd (loop)

Modification of service 15: Pasir Ris -- Marine Parade Rd (loop)

15 & 150 already feedback to LTA and the answer is dissapointing.

I would choose option 2. Not exactly helpful for such a service to double as a JIS route, and the link to Gul Circle MRT station isn't really that necessary IMO.

Personally I'm also in favour of sending it via Upp Jurong Rd (Option 2). Transfering at Joo Koon is probably better given the greater variety of services than Gul Circle.

The rationale for the route is to relieve some of 975's loadings in Teck Whye, and provide a direct NTU/Cleantech <> CCK/BPJ connection, which I believe will be quite popular.

I agree, better to let it serve SGH. But I don't forsee LTA splitting 51 this way, because they might fear 121 becoming a tad too long. Though on the Eastern end, Geylang Lor 1 is the perfect place to chop up 51, as it duplicates the EWL/Geylang Rd services from Eunos onwards.

SBS6465E SG

then 134?

You can view 150 as a sweetener to whatever hurt 134 brought. Though frankly, while I understand there's been a petition, the vast majority of residents have benefited from more reliable bus service to Paya Lebar and PP.

But really, the political reasons for introducing 150 are blatantly obvious, at least to me.

It would be nice if Toh Guan (IMM) has a fast service (via PIE) to Beauty World MRT, where commuters can change to Downtown Line, svc 52 or svc 985. The Toh Guan PIE exit can be quite congested during peak hours but there are no bus services using that PIE exit, which is quite a waste. Also, I'm fed up with the overcrowded East-West Line. LOL.

It would also be nice if Toh Guan has a fast service to Jurong West, bypassing Jurong East Ave 1 & Jurong West Ave 1. The journey from IMM to Pioneer Road North on svc 502 took me around 40 minutes, which I think is ridiculous given that the fare for svc 502 is $0.60 higher than regular fares.

Yeah... As a NTU student I'm dying to see a direct connection between NTU and CCK... I find it ridiculous to spend 45-50 minutes taking svc 179 (20-25 min), EWL (10-15 min) and NSL (10 min) from NTU to CCK, while driving via PIE/KJE takes only 10 min.
