LTA did not say that there will be 5 new services for Punggol
extension.
it was the reporter who speculated only.
there is no official press release from LTA on expansion.. the
LTA spokeman is only answering query from the
newspaper...
Hi mr lemon1974, yes technically you are right. However please
take note that the Punggol extension will have 2 boarding berths
plus 1 alighting berths plus at least 12 parking lots. Technically
it is more than enough for 5-6 new services. Granted not all may be
introduced at end of yr 2017. But in the years to come, surely 5
new services will be introduced. There are many other areas in
Punggol not well connected and some worse off.
Just take a look at new tampines concourse interchange. On 19
dec 2016, they will have 3 bus services already. And mr hgdep103
says it is only the first phase. So don't be surprised if all
extensions built will have at least 5 services. Cheers. Thanks.
