For the areas already developed - like Lavender, Jurong and Bedok - if there should be, there would already be.The new bus routes at the new areas - like Pun...

Route Suggestion - Service 68 (Changi Village - Pasir Ris - Tampines Concourse)

http://routes.one/idea/115

Similar to what I had proposed previously except for the svc 29 part in Changi Village and st 41 in Pasir Ris.

svc 29 part in Changi Village has v low loading. Don't see the point of having another service. Routing via st 41 will have issues with using DDs.

The route will be quite duplicative with sv 89 from PSR Dr 3 to PSR Dr 12. But no choice I guess since there are already so many services in Pasir Ris. Really don't see the point of introducing svc 68 between Pasir Ris and Tampines.

Another poor loading svc like 46. svc 46 will have potential in future with DTL3 but svc 68 I have a lot of doubts even from future perspective. Tampines North is far away in 2020.

I agree. I wouldn't do svc 983 but hope new service 973 can cover this part of Gangsa.

Fajar Sec is at Chestnut leh.

BusAnalayzer SG

Fajar Sec is at Chestnut leh.

So? 973 can cover Chestnut, Dairy Farm on its way to Hume and also call at stop along Gangsa for Korea Christian Church and Blks 145-152 and the original location of Fajar Sec School. The one you are talking about is a temp. location

That part of Gangsa is walking distance to Petir Rd.

BusAnalayzer SG

That part of Gangsa is walking distance to Petir Rd.

But would be good to connect it to BPJ MRT/Interchange as that is not walking distance to Gangsa Road end.

There were rumours of Route 135 getting truncated at a related topic. If this is the case, I hope the following changes to Routes 40, 47 & 125 are made.

iveco SG

Also, some say Route 178 may be affected bu DTL2. It may make sense to merge it with Route 172. Old Jurong Road section can be covered by Route 176, as Hillview already has Routes 963 & 970.

So many services at Pasir Ris already, don't really understand why they want to introduce svc 68.

The above svc duplicates svc 3 for all of its Pasir Ris section. svc 3 in itself is running at super high frequency and SDs can tank load easily.

Suggested extension to Nite Owl Service 1N (reduce duplication with NR1 & provide alternative link to Sembawang):

AJQZC SG

Your 501 is very duplicative of 180/187, unless you use a lot of express sectors (probably can use KJE/PIE to skip BB).

503 is comprehensive but too long, it would not be a good idea to serve every major town along the way with one service. Also not quite a good idea to do JE --> BPJ --> Orchard; doing BPJ --> JE --> Orchard would be more direct.

Suggested extension to Nite Owl Service 1N (reduce duplication with NR1 & provide alternative link to Sembawang):

YES THAT IS THE WAY. SOO many night buses duplicate each other so badly. idk if LTA will re-route them in the future

Actually, now that the BCM is well underway, it would be a good idea for LTA to look at the overall night bus network in general, and perhaps rationalize the whole network. In my opinion, it would be good to have some sort of 24 hour bus service within the city centre, and then buses leaving hourly from the city centre to the residential towns for the benefit of not just party-goers but also tourists and night-shift (and early-morning-shift workers). What do you guys think about the current night bus network?

SMB5007J SG

If they want to reduce duplication, i do hope that all of the night service fares will be standardised... $4.50 is way too expensive.. i would rather take nite owl and walk back home since nite owl doesn't enter my area...

CZT SG

Yes i agree. Unless u are a student r senior citizen, there is only a diff of $0.10 if u r travelling frm city or between estates for adult fares. But will be more worth it if you r travelling within an estate. IMO the Nite Owl fare structure is ok (ok only) i would say, just expensive lorh.

CZT SG

They seriously need to reconsider this lor. But then again, would 24h services (maybe feeders) be profitable? Last time TIBS introduced intratown night buses but withdrawn due to low demand even on weekend nights.

In anyways, i think LTA would need to consider how services duplicate each other, such as 1N and NR1 as stated above (im pretty sure there are other incidences). The only thing that im more satisfied with the night buses is that for SMRT, they have different starting points so it can accomodate to more people even thou they might have to change buses
