Some minor observances from DTL2 open house today:
DT1 Bt Panjang: List of bus
services to other MRT stations (hereby known as
"Buslist") somewhat incomplete, as 176/178 to BB,
176 to JE not listed. Buslist also doesn't include nearby stops
along Bt Panjang Rd & Petir Rd.
DT3 Hillview: Northbound bus stop on west side of Upp Bt
Timah Rd is still not ready. Based on Buslist, 176/963/970 may not
be stopping at this stop. Buslist also doesn't include nearby stops
along Hillview Rd.
DT5 Beauty
World: Numbered bus
stops are (1) (42091, Upp Bt Timah Rd), (3) (42151, Jln Jurong
Kechil) and (4) (42109, Jln Anak Bukit). (1) & (4) are
designated stops for train disruptions. Supposed new bus stop (2)
directly opposite (1) is built but not ready yet.
Bus stops 42159 and 42259
along Jln Jurong Kechil are not included in Buslist, even though
both are considerably nearer to the station exits than
(4).
** Note that a right turn from Upp Bt Timah Rd (42119) to Beauty
World Plaza is under construction.
DT6 King Albert
Park: New
bus stop along Dunearn Rd (42069) is not ready yet.
DT10 Stevens: Only exit
along Bt Timah Rd. Passage to Dunearn Rd bus stop relies solely on
unsheltered pedestrian crossing (traffic lights) at the junction,
as there are no overhead bridges or underpasses built.
So far, only 173 amended to serve the new bus stop (2) (42099)
just outside Beauty World plaza. The rest still serve bus stop (4)
(42109).
Anyway, having 13 bus stops along the four roads outside BPJ MRT
is really confusing, let's hope they will remove the added
temporary bus stops and revert back to â¤8 stops when BPJ ITH eventually opens in 2017.
