Just what I about to sayWell, low post counts and joined date is so suspicious. Not only that, that joker also went MIA.

I was hoping 184 to start from int instead of 970

75,180,184,700 all got potential to start from gali batu in future

75 and 184 will not start from and end at Bukit Panjang ITH (apart from the looping 177 and 180)...the rest are all starting and ending from BPITH, including 972 and 979/979M. There is no mention of 700/700A anywhere.

I was a bit confused by the multiple posters they created for some services. One of the changes I could summarise is as such. The bus stops os/opp BP Plaza would be skipped and the services plying there would either be calling at Opp/Blk 180 along Jelebu Road or Bukit Panjang Stn Exit A along Upp Bukit Timah Road as an alternative.

In their fb post they said 700 will start from the temporary bus park along with 75 and 184.. tho they didn't attach any poster abt it. Wonder why

Noted in relation to 700...perhaps there's no purpose in making it call at Ten Mile Junction (since 184 is calling there for the same route). As I can see, there is no major change to 184 aside from calling at that extra pair of bus stops.

All, Bukit panjang bus interchange is opening on 4 sep 2017. Cheers. Thanks.

Reposted:

I was rather confused by the huge amount of posters they issued in respect of the changes (there are at least 2 to 3 posters for a service, in fact one poster for one change in calling bus stops). But I can roughly summarise the changes as such:

- 176, 920, 922, 970, 972, 973, 975 and 979/979M will be calling at the ITH, while 75, 177, 180, 184, 700/700A and 971E will not.

- 176, 920, 922, 970 and 975 will be reverting back to their original routes before the 2012 closure of Bukit Panjang Interchange, skipping those bus stops that they called after the closure and during the 2015 DTL rationalisation.

- 972 and 973 will be skipping the bus stops which currently serves as their starting and ending points (Blk 183, Blk 604 and Opp Blk 183 along Bukit Panjang Road). 973 will also call at Bukit Panjang Plaza along Jelebu Road in the direction towards the ITH.

- 75 and 184 will be calling at outside/opposite Ten Mile Junction Stn as their ending/starting points. 971E will start from/end at Block 602/Block 541A CP along Bukit Panjang Ring Road, skipping the bus stops outside/opposite Block 180.

- The bus stops outside/opposite Bukit Panjang Plaza will be skipped by most existing plying services (except 920 and 922). As such, 75, 177, 960 and 963/E/R will call at bus stops outside/opposite Block 180 along the same road. 171 will not have new calling bus stops while 979/979M will only call at Blk 183 along Bukit Panjang Road in the direction towards Yew Tee.

- The bus stop Bukit Panjang Stn along Petir Road will be removed. 180 will call at Bukit Panjang Stn Exit A/LRT along Upp Bukit Timah Road, while 983 will call at Aft Bukit Panjang Stn along the same road as alternatives.

They should make 177 end at the ITH..At least got 1 different operator.

iveco SG

I think the time is great for a merger of Routes 190 and 700.

Also, Route 170X should operate out of BPJ if there had been enough space. It looks none the better than Route 36 in its current form as KJ MRT doesn't offer proper layover facilities.

170 blue also candidate for Gali Batu

CZT SG

idk why but this Bukit Panjang ITH and bukit panjang bus park service arrangement reminds me of the YCK int and amk depot. Or maybe joo koon ITH and soon lee depot too. Like these starting points are so near to each other but they just cannot merge coz of some reason lol

Path Light SG

700 should be at Bukit Panjang ITH

iveco SG

Space constraints, mate.

Or what about BDK ITH and BNDEP?

180? You serious? It would skip Bukit Panjang completely as a result isn't it? That would cause a huge uproar when a good bulk of its demand comes from there.

Extended from the looping route la

Double loop at Petir Rd like 98 at Jurong Port?

iveco SG

Also better to let 176 terminate at the temp bus park, bypassing BPJ altogether as there are already other routes from Hillview towards BPJ. The extra space freed up can be used as a layover point for 170X.

Extension of 170X to BPJ will cause a huge uproar from passengers who are too lazy to cross over the overhead bridge at Kranji MRT and hence decide to board 170X.

The thing is 170X lacks a proper terminal. It can use BPJ as a layover point while maintaining an express sector between BPJ and KRJ. The bus stop opposite KRJ Station on the northbound side of Woodlands Road becomes the first stop while the one outside KRJ station becomes the terminating stop. No boarding and alighting will be carried out at BPJ, as the idea is simply to park there and allow the drivers to have a rest in between trips. The timekeeper can also operate out of a proper office.

TAM and TAC are within walking distance from each other.

Problem with some passengers in Singapore,Too lazy even though its just a few mins of walk.Everything want doorstep service but demand the cheapest,Demand first class svc.
