No offense, but actually I think there are WAY too many share-bikes today. All those Ofos discarded all over the place are simply ruining the landscape

As a bicycle-sharing user if no one abused the bicycles and ensured that they were in good conditon, i'm sure there won't be that many bicycles around the island

Agreed

Things to expect in 2019

1. Opening of Thomson-East Coast Line from Woodlands North to Woodlands South. (doesn't impact any bus route)

2. Amendment of bus routes in Woodlands to connect to Woodlands North and Woodlands South stations on the Thomson-East Coast Line. (Services impacted should be 911 for WDL North, 900/901 for WDL South. In addition, I propose a service like 965 should be diverted from Admiralty MRT -> WDL Ave 4 to WDL North).

3. Opening of Canberra station on the North-South Line. (additional stops for 117, 169, 883). Loading on 883 may get impacted slightly but offseted by opening of more flats. Many people will take 883 for 2 stops only.)

4. Amendment of bus routes in Sembawang to connect to Canberra station on the North-South Line. (Don't expect any such amendments as Sembawang, Canberra serve the same line).

5. Opening of Yishun Integrated Transport Hub. (Looking forward to it)

6. Re-opening of Woodlands Regional Bus Interchange.

7. Public trial of 60 electric buses.

1. Its going to be white elephant after all.

2. With zero car growth, I expect more bus routes to be introduced. But definitely to the extent of DTL3 for TEL (Thomson), the DTL2 will be used for TEL (East Coast).

3 and 4. Canberra station is needed because the future residential population is not catered for the crowds at Sembawang and Yishun. You cannot just rely on 117, 169, 859 and 883 only.

Would really like to see some decent route rationalisation / optimisation this year. In particular for long routes & heavily duplicated route sectors.

With regards to Jurong Region Line, the eventual product may not be what is “revealed” online. Those “revealed” online may not be real, but just made up to satisfy the curious minds of those wanting to know the alignment and stations of the line. Be prepared to accept that all those are fake. Only the information from LTA is real.

I've heard news that China brand is coming in for the PT322 tender

If Youngman got chance since its using MAN engine.

Higer maybe use Scania,Yutong and Ankai most probably Cummins engine.

carbikebus SG

I'm not suprised if is 100 A95 & 50 B8L..There might be Euro6 MAN A22 NL283F too.

BusAnalayzer SG

Maybe some bendy orders in 2018 for Bidadari and CGA?

Does Yongman have any presence in SG?

The only brand that can hit the 1,000 citybus export mark would be Yutong. King Long/Higer maybe. Others mostly cater to their domestic market.

Do you have a feeling that we are going to have China city buses in the future?

China bus? unless LTA and SCDF want to be busy. MRT already have problem. LTA should spend our money getting better buses if they want people to give up cars

I don't think China brands got an advantage here.Its always the European brands for citybuses.

We asked that question back in 2009 when the Yutong, Sunlong and Zhongtong showed up. The lobbyists then had a field day. We know what happened since.

I expect a similar outcome. That being said, certain brands such as Yutong do make comparative decent products these days. The established European manufacturers have also largely outsourced their production out of their home countries, so they can't claim superiority in a manner they used to (though they will still try).

carbikebus SG

Can i expect the 3 doors Enviro500 fitted with Euro6 Cummins engine?

ND323F SG

But do not forget that now it is LTA who is now buying the buses via open tender. So long as the specs meets, lowest price will definitely win. Almost every big govt project is done by Chinese company, eg HDB, lifts, MRT.
