Route Suggestions (Part 7)

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...

Extend 985 to the new Changi T4 Terminal and amend it to be not so windy at Bukit Batok.

AJQZC SG

Extend 985 to the new Changi T4 Terminal and amend it to be not so windy at Bukit Batok.

Not feasible. Route length would be too long + loss of existing links to Kallang/Geylang.

Also the BB section is needed for direct connection to BB and Beauty World MRT stations, which have no replacement, so that one has to stay as well.

Sorry but it's a real weird suggestion. And 985 is not that windy in Bukit Batok. In fact most of 985's peak loading comes there if you didn't know!

136:Punggol Int-Serangoon Gdn Way(Loop).

71:Yio Chu Kang Int-Serangoon Gdn Way(Loop).

my idea was to reminicense to the TIB former 989...I actually nvr really take 985 so idk.

SMB315C SG

Well not everything is finger snapping mah.If they want,they can take 161,168,965 & 969 to Woodlands and Yishun respectively.

If not go Changi Airport and fly to Johor.. Haha..

- Commuters living in Bukit Batok West Ave 8 (new BTO cluster) can choose to travel to/from Bukit Gombak MRT or Clementi MRT
- Commuters living in Keat Hong can now choose to travel to/from Bukit Gombak MRT instead of Choa Chu Kang/Bukit Panjang MRT
- Those living in Bukit Gombak (central) can now travel on the Downtown Line and change at Bukit Panjang (also having another mall to travel to)
- Those at Clementi (Commonwealth Avenue West) can have an alternative to HarbourFront by avoiding 183 and choose 202 to transfer to 188 or 963.
- Those in Clementi can now take 202 to Bukit Batok Road and change to 160, going straight to Johor Bahru.

Quite a decent route, especially the links to Bt Gombak and Bt Panjang MRT stations, but I don't really get the Kent Ridge / Clementi section, which doesn't seem particularly in demand. IMO it may serve more uses if made to terminate at Jurong East, with the regional centre / malls / NTFH / future HSR.

Also the BB West area would definitely need to be paired with a BB feeder. (944?)

Yes, I was thinking about it terminating at Jurong East to be a possibility.

Sounds like there's still quite a lot of duplication between 1N / NR1, 2N / NR2, 3N / NR3, 5N / NR5.

In particular NR2's Bt Panjang --> Sembawang and NR3's Clementi --> CCK make these services seem really overstretched.

Also why not just combine them all into one naming/numbering scheme? Could even use 60x & 61x.

AJQZC SG

Another BB west route variation (keeping in mind the introduction of 944):

-- Merges with 308

-- Links BB West & CCK N8 with Bt Gombak MRT (though not as important in CCK, where there's 983 to BPJ)

-- Links BB West with St Luke's hospital, existing schools (PEPS / MI / ITE West), the BB Swimming Complex and malls / developments in JE and CCK, serving areas that 944 doesn't, while reducing duplications

-- ** May be somewhat duplicative of 188

-- ** Link to BPJ still not available (unless 180 is amended)

Ending part might look duplicate but starting/middle sector serve different parts of routing.2N & NR7 currently ends at PSR but serve different part of streets

Travellator SG

i agreed with an older post that said svc 171 needs to be rationalized. LTA should cut all the parts from Upp B.Timah to Marina Ctr, then amend it to serve CCK town---KJE---PIE--- Jln Bahar then end it at Boon Lay interchange.

SG5064X SG

Make 171 terminate at Future Gali Batu Terminal

iveco SG

Make 171 terminate at Future Gali Batu Terminal

Merge with 944 also a possibility.

Path Light SG

Then that route would be very long

SBS 9256 X SG

I would suggest that Sve 171 terminate at Bukit Batok Interchange coz there are still loading at night along Upp Bukit Timah Road sector.

Service 171
Yishun Interchange - Bukit Batok Interchange
Via
Current Route
Upp Bukit Timah Road
Jalan Jurong Kechil
Bukit Batok East/West Ave 6
Bukit Batok West Ave 3
Bukit Batok Central

Route Back
Bukit Batok Interchange
Bukit Batok Central
Bukit Batok West Ave 3
Bukit Batok West/East Ave 6
Jalan Jurong Kechil
Upp Bukit Timah
Current Route Back to Yishun

Travellator SG

Then that route would be very long

I think it's nearly the same as the current length, but with shorter running time because of plying 3 expressways, and provide direct link from Yishun to Boon Lay. It's only downside is that svc 180 and 172's demand will be decreased for those who take it for direct link between these two towns.
