Great suggestion! Actually all along I feel that there is a need
to connnect Woodlands West residents to Marsiling MRT to lighten
the load from Woodlands Regional Int.
Since the commercial areas at Woodlands Centre Rd is going to be
demolished soon, I have suggested these 3 route amendments to the
current Woodlands Intratown services (only the west loop portion is
shown). These current routes will instead be renamed as sv 911T,
912T & 913T respectively (T=Woodlands Train
Checkpoint) running at 20mins-30mins interval to maintain the
connection to Woodlands Train Checkpoint.

Feel free to give constructive feedbacks/criticisms. Thanks!

To add on to what orange28 has said, the Woodlands Train
Checkpoint bus stops actually functions as a mini-interchange for
pax from these intratowns to transfer to 170, 178, 856, 903 and
other intratowns, without going through Woodlands MRT/Int.
Having said so, demand to WTC is probably much smaller than
Marsiling MRT (I'm not sure about the loading patterns there so
won't comment further). Just that 20-30 mins interval for the 'T'
services may be too long I guess? As for demand from Woodlands MRT
to Woodlands Train Checkpoint, there's still 856/903/178 and I
think these intratowns should not be the ones responsible for this
link.
