Route Suggestions (Part 7)

last SG · 2016-07-04T22:43:50+00:00

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...

This suggestion could possibly replace 43M and/or 53M. Am I right to say that??

Yes 43M that was the reason I had recommended 114 be routed that way. 3004X extended it to HGDEP which is not likely as HGDEP does not house revenue services, otherwise we would have had SWT to Serangoon from there long time ago + have 115 start from there.

From the feedback from the lta
We note the request for the direct bus from Sengkang (Compassvale Bus Interchange) to Marina Centre area. We wish to highlight that for such long haul distance travel, the MRT is a better travel option due to trains not being affected by en-route conditions and having their dedicated right of way.

We also wish to highlight that significant resources are needed to provide new bus services and given finite resources and the numerous requests, this has to be balanced against the potential number of commuters who will benefit from the proposed route such that resources are not wasted or under-utilised. We seek your understanding that in view of the current travel options available, we are unable to accede to the request.

We thank you for writing in.

Yours sincerely,

Hi mr vampier77, if LTA replied Sengkang compassvale to marina centre is a no-go, it means no hope for express Sengkang to Boon Lay. Cheers. Thanks.

Sengkang - Boon Lay service always sounded a bit unrealistic.

Merge BPS1 with 983

983 W - Choa Chu Kang via Senja Rd - Bukit Panjang Station
983 G - Choa Chu Kang via Choa Chu Kang Ave 7 - Bukit Panjang Station

Can you be nice enough to give me the credit for copying my route suggestion from Compassvale to Serangoon Central?

Yes, from Buangkok Dr to Serangoon Central.

I know it's an insane suggestion...

Service 258/990 merger: Joo Koon - Bukit Batok

http://routes.one/idea/259

- Provides direct and fast connection from Jurong West (Gek Poh) to Jurong East
- Alternative MRT access for Jurong West (e.g. those taking NSL or buses from Jurong East Int)
- Links Jurong West residents to large shopping malls near Jurong East, such as Big Box and IMM (not so close to MRT)
- Enhances connectivity for Jurong West Ave 2 where there's only 157
- Provides direct bus for Jurong East and Bukit Batok residents to Joo Koon (though quite winding)
- 258 takes over 256's route between Joo Koon and Pioneer

- Skipped sectors on 258:
Upp Jurong Rd (99, 192)
Jurong West St 64, Boon Lay Int (243G/W, 181)
- 990's bus stop at Boon Lay Way outside Jurong East MRT is skipped, because very few pax use that bus stop

Service 150: Sims Place - Marine Terrace (Loop) via Ubi

http://routes.one/idea/260

- Connects Ubi Rd 1, Ave 4, Rd 3 to nearby MRT stations (DTL Ubi, CCL/DTL MacPherson, EWL Eunos & Paya Lebar)
- Connects Sims Place to Aljunied MRT
- If necessary, 150M can be implemented from Sims Place looping at Eunos with DDs

Just give them Route 52 in exchange. Problem sorted.

90 is under Serangoon-Eunos la dey

Both Bishan and Serangoon packages under SBST for at least 8 more years. makes little difference.

Service 114

HGDEP - Compassvale Cres/Compassvale St (Loop)

Defu Ave 1 (no boarding/alighting)

Hougang Ave 3

Lor Ah Soo

Upp Paya Lebar Rd

Upp Serangoon Rd

Serangoon Ctrl

Yio Chu Kang Rd

Buangkok Dr (extension)

Sengkang Ctrl (Buangkok MRT

Sengkang East Way

Compassvale Rd

Compassvale Crescent

Compassvale St (looping point)

High loading: Buangkok Drive/Link/Crescent/Green - Buangkok MRT/Serangoon MRT

Medium loading: Sengkang MRT - Compassvale Cres, Serangoon MRT - Lor Ah Soo (duplicates 53/M)

Low loading: Sengkang East Rd (only links a few flats to Buangkok MRT)

It was hard to find a terminus for this route. Hougang South would have been a good choice, but it has been closed long ago. Shortening it to Serangoon is also impossible as Serangoon has no space for new services.

This route will cannibalise 43's loading. 43 can go back to old fleet with 50% SD/DD if this route is introduced.

Welcome with an open arm..14 B9TL 6 Citaro should be enough

Extension of 113

Hougang Central

Hougang Ave 5

Hougang Ave 7

Hougang Ave 8

Continue current route to Upp Paya Lebar

Provides direct link from Hougang Ave 7 to Hougang Ave 8, which is very near but has no direct link currently

No one takes 113 from Upper Serangoon Rd with its winding route to Hougang Ave 1/Lorong Ah Soo anyway.
