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...

Any possibility that 853 would be chopped and terminate at Bidadari? Perhaps the journey to Kallang can be extended to somewhere...maybe to the future Marina South ITH?

That's what I thought too. The Yishun - AMK Ave 6 sector is covered by 851 and 852, the AMK Ave 6 - AMK Ave 8 sector is covered by 162/M, the AMK Ave 8 - Serangoon Ctrl sector is covered by 22 (135 partial) and the Serangoon Ctrl - Woodleigh sector is covered by 147 (100 and 135 partial).

Would make sense to chop 853 to Bidadari but opposite to what you have proposed.

853 could do Yishun Interchange <> Bidadari Interchange and it could ply Bidadari estate before terminating, hence the need for HC buses. But then SMRT can always deploy DDs, so I don't see this as the reason.

We may be seeing more airport services getting bendy buses and in future all the 40 bendy buses may be deployed on airport routes.

With this I agree with array88 that 53 may get extended to Bidadari with use of bendies. It's route between Lor Ah Soo and AMK 1 is covered by svc 45, between Serangoon and Bishan is covered by 58 (that has quite poor loading in this sector). 58 can be diverted via Bishan st 14.

New proposals for Bidadari Estate:

104 (as previously proposed)

Punggol <> Bidadari via SGN Ave 1, Bidadari Park Dr.

853

Yishun <> Bidadari Interchange (no change in route, just cut short)

Bidadari <> CGA via Bidadari Park Dr, Bartley Road, Upper Serangoon Rd

100

No change, slices Bidadari estate on Upper Aljunied Road

135

Bidadari <> Siglap Road (loop)

via Upper Serangoon Road, Bidadari Park Dr, Upper Aljunied Road and continues on current route

* Missing link between Bidadari and AMK covered by svc 133, 853.

155

Diverted via Bidadari Park Dr, Bartley Road and continues on current route without going to Upper Serangoon Rd to connect Upper Aljunied / Macpherson estate to Bidadari north estate.

Overall 4 services terminate at Bidadari

53 (bendy/SDs), 104 (DDs), 135 (DD+SD), 853 (SD only)

** With these changes, 81 will be extended to Bishan via svc 53 route to terminate at Bishan Interchange. Given that 81 and 53 have similar routes, 81 will provide faster connection to PSR for Bishan/Boundary residents.

Update: I have edited my previous proposals on 53 amendment here.

-------------------------------------------------

I know many people have been suggesting about amendments/withdrawls for 113, and talked about the Hougang St 11 bus stop, but surprisingly nobody suggested anything like this:

Service 116 extension: Hougang Ctrl - Hougang St 11 (Loop)

https://routes.one/idea/878

- Tiny extension to Hougang St 11 (113's looping point)

- Offers direct connection from St 11 to Serangoon MRT, which is much closer than Kovan by 113

- Serangoon MRT bus stop towards Serangoon North will be moved to outside NEX (instead of opposite NEX as of today), hence allowing 116 to supplement 315/70/147 etc

- With this change (and the 53M/108 amendments in my previous post), 113 can operate at reduced frequencies or even withdrawn

Will 853C be affected?

853C can be removed altogether with the number of new services extended to UEC.

I agree. The Yishun-Parkway Parade link seems obsolete these days.

carbikebus SG

853 extend to Eunos better..making space for 62 terminate at Lor 1

SMB1368T SG

Extend also no use la. U already have 13 & 26 to cover the route

Extend also no use la. U already have 13 & 26 to cover the route

More buses better rides

Just curious to find out your suggestions (not all are mine)

Service 102 - Route Extension to Punggol Temp Int

978 Bukit Panjang - HarbourFront

array88 SG

Service 102 - Route Extension to Punggol Temp Int

978 Bukit Panjang - HarbourFront

102 is planned to extend to Seletar East Camp when it develops, hence cannot extend to Punggol via West Camp.

West Camp doesn't even need another service. 103/117 are enough for now. 102 may get extended via East Camp only in 2021-22 as East Camp development is still not there.

978 would be better as an express service IMO because the route is a abit too windy to HarbourFront. In addition, there is heavy duplication with 184's route from Cashew Rd to Clementi Rd and 97 from AYE to HBF... Otherwise an alternative travel option to HBF from Bukit Panjang would be LRT > DTL > CCL via Botanic Gardens or LRT > 188/E.

Service 354 amendment to Pasir Ris Link:

https://routes.one/idea/877

I wonder why it takes so long to implement this.

Sbs6750E SG

70e – Yck Rd(Aft Begonia Rd) to Shenton Way(ter)
Route:
Yck Rd all the way till Boundary Rd junction >> Express via Boundary Rd, Amk Ave 1, CTE, PIE, Sims Way, then continue original sv 70 route.

array88 SG

Service 986: Choa Chu Kang - Changi Airport (Loop)

https://routes.one/idea/881

array88 SG

I realized there hasn't been any direct services between Jurong East and the north/northeast, and all MRT lines along the journey are already highly utilized. Since Jurong East is planned to be our second CBD, a direct route seems necessary:

Service 41: Jurong East - Compassvale

https://routes.one/idea/882

I acknowledge that both my routes above are higgly unlikely to be implemented.
