Hi mr array88, unlikely to cut to sims place. Because if cut there, 135 will be too much similar to 134. Cheers. Thanks.

Hi mr sbs6750E, oops I am sorry. I thought 135 cut and become sims place to siglap/marine parade road.

But can meh? Like that paya lebar, tanjong katong, marine parade side how? That time already cut 76 now they suggest cut 135 off from similar places again? If like that, many DIRECT connections are lost. Need to transfer. Cheers. Thanks.

Hi mr sbs6750E, oops I am sorry. I thought 135 cut and become sims place to siglap/marine parade road.

i'm more concerned about Upp Aljunied - Paya Lebar pax (155 is winding) and Circuit Rd - MP. Paya Lebar got many developments coming up. As for Paya Lebar - MP stretch, full fleet DD sv 43 can tahan lah, maybe can intro 43A/downroutes. If you ask me, I rather sv 155 be cut.

They are thinking of cutting it as AMK <> Sims place and not Sims Place <> Siglap.

BusAnalayzer SG

don't say anyhow. 155 is more useful than 135 and is a unique route. it loops around circuit/pipit for a reason, as it needs to connect macpherson estate with geylang east central polyclinic and industrial estate.

135 still has alternative options and if not for all sectors, will have option for transfer to other service. 155 not the case.

Especially Paya lebar - MP is not a problem with both 43 and 134 having a huge number of DDs and decent frequency. There is also 40 from Macpherson Estate going to Tanjong Katong.

How exactly will 135 be cut - is it going to make a long detour of MacPherson - Paya Lebar - Sims/Geylang - Sims Place, or will it turn into Aljunied straight away from Sims Place, skipping MacPherson Estate entirely? If it's the latter, this amendment will be a HUGE failure.

Even if 135 still goes to Paya Lebar, it will still lose the unique (and probably well-utilised) connection between MacPherson and Marine Parade. I doubt 40 will be a viable alternative for MP residents, as its route is much more winding and does not serve Marine Parade Road directly. MacPherson residents will also find it troublesome to reach Tanjong Katong Rd - for such a short journey they now have to make transfers.

I don't really know. I am not sure terminating at Sims place is a good idea either. They could actually make it loop around Paya Lebar MRT. Macpherson-Tanjong Katong-East Coast is also served by sv 40.

From what I know, Marine Parade/East Coast has way too many buses and many of them are running absolutely empty off-peak and not superly crowded during peak hours either (apart from 36, 48, 196 heading to CBD).

Even 43/134/135 has only the first bus with good # pax, the remaining 2 buses have less than 20 pax on board at most times during peak hours as if you think of it there is a bus every 03-04 minutes between Paya Lebar & Marine Parade. In addition, you have 197 from Tanjong Katong in parallel till Bedok south ave 1 with sv 43.

Hence, I am not really surprised if they are trying to cut short 135.

135 can just end at Eunos via sv 15 route. Then sv 15 cut to loop around Eunos.

Why not merge with 150 via Marine Terrace? Then 150 can be withdrawn (and 15 can possibly terminate at Eunos Int with DDs deployed)

Hi mr busanalyser, just let the buses to marine parade and east coast off-hook for the time being. Marine parade parkway parade is currently the most patronized mall in an area where there is no MRT. It is just like another jewel in the east. Once the TEL mrt line starts operating in marine parade in yr 2023 onwards, there will be some bus routes rationalization due to TEL. Cheers. Thanks.

BusAnalayzer SG

Well... it isn't me who said 135 will be cut short... it seems to be a valid internal news.

BusAnalayzer SG

Yes that's what they should have done with 76 in first place.

With 150, 15 can already terminate at Eunos with full fleet DDs, and 150 can extend to Marine Parade Road (Parkway parade) to cover missing link and make the bus more usable.

Currently peak hours <20 pax on sv 150.

Hi mr carbikebus, I thought you are holidaying in Indonesia these days? Cheers. Thanks.

array88 SG

Exactly. They should have started with 14, 51, 61 before touching 135.

or 76 or 189 for that matter.
