Yishun to Punggol service by SBST
-
What do you think of such a suggestion? This route can link Yishun with Punggol via Sengkang, just as 39 links Yishun to Tampines via Pasir Ris. Surely it can give 965 a run for its money anytime.

Ya....

Pointless. One can just take 965 to Punggol Rd, cross the road and take 82.

Last time PSR pple oso change bus to get to YIS. They took 89 to SKG & transfer to 965. Then came 39, as what some of you called a DREAM COME TRUE.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Pointless. One can just take 965 to Punggol Rd, cross the road and take 82. -
very good idea. Or should begin with a new route. If alternate 39 route, people will have a longer time to get to travel between Tampines and Yishun. A new route would be good, as the route can call along Punggol Field, Edgefield Plains for convenience of the residents there. Punggol already has SBST 3 to get to Tampines or Pasir Ris. Perhaps a new service to Bedok, Marine Parade or Eunos, as well as Changi Airport.

That is a different case. Here there is a service just MINUTES AWAY!Originally posted by iveco:Last time PSR pple oso change bus to get to YIS. They took 89 to SKG & transfer to 965. Then came 39, as what some of you called a DREAM COME TRUE. -
That's what I had in mind. After exiting TPE @ PGL Rd, the new service can use SKG East Dr & then follow 62 route to PGL Int. But if the SKG West flyover is ready, better still. It can use SKG East Rd & pass by Compass Pt en route to PGL.Originally posted by PJ_Quek:very good idea. Or should begin with a new route.

Yes, more bus service between SKG and PGL would be appreciated. Especially from Anchorvale area.Originally posted by iveco:That's what I had in mind.

How's the flyover @ SKG west now? Is it possible for vehicles along TPE to turn right into SKG East Rd? I remember traffic from SKG East Rd were allowed to turn into TPE towards SLE when the flyover works began.Originally posted by PJ_Quek:Yes, more bus service between SKG and PGL would be appreciated.

The flyover at SKG East Rd is 100% ready, I saw it went I took 161 from WDL to HGN last week.Originally posted by iveco:How's the flyover @ SKG west now?

that is a very good suggestion.as punggol currently only have a few bus routes.a new route would make punggol more accessibleOriginally posted by iveco:What do you think of such a suggestion?

Duplicate so much service for what? Wasting resources huh? SBS & TIBS (not me) went crazy introducing some services for competition.
168 & 969
969 & 39
161 & 965
What's the point of so much competition? -
As far as I know, 965 and 161 take different routes between Sengkang Int and Punggol Rd. 965 goes into Yishun but 161 does not. At the same time, 965 travel along WDL Ave 7 while 161 does not. There is some sort of competition for commuters who travel between Sengkang and Yishun, but overall, 965 is the only bus from WDL Ave 7 and Yishun to Sengkang and 161 is the only bus from HGN to WDL. They serve different market. As for 168-969, 969-39, I am not very sure about the route they take.Originally posted by sbs&tibs:Duplicate so much service for what? Wasting resources huh?

May I suggest that if this route is to materialise, it could be merged with service 82 such that it terminates at Serangoon Int via punggol?
This is so as the usage of 82 is relatively low during peak hours and this may provide the opportunity to "rejuvinate" the route. Demand should be high as no buses in the serangoon, kovan and hougang could go to yishun.
A feeder bus should operate from Punggol Int to Punggol Road End as I often see empty buses from the punggol rd end to the NEL station so the freq could be put higher. -
In a sense, I agree with you... But bear in mind that it is the only bus that serves the entire stretch of Punggol RdOriginally posted by my@jas:May I suggest that if this route is to materialise, it could be merged with service 82 such that it terminates at Serangoon Int via punggol?

Save for 1 or 2 pairs of bus stops. Somewhat similar to 167 along a portion of SBW Rd.Originally posted by sbst275:In a sense, I agree with you... But bear in mind that it is the only bus that serves the entire stretch of Punggol Rd -
Kena cut because of developmentOriginally posted by iveco:Save for 1 or 2 pairs of bus stops. Somewhat similar to 167 along a portion of SBW Rd.
BTW, since this is abt of making SMRT a run for their $$, why not have a list?
Against Sv 965 @ Yishun and PGL/ SKG
Against Sv 969 @ Yishun and TAM and adding link to Bedok thru e way
Against Sv 966 @ Bt Panjang to Marine Parade for making so express like what Alan has said -
Not a good idea.
Ridership won't be there.
Punggol has not fully developed yet.
As for those going to SK...they could take 39 and x-fer at Jalan Kayu to 86. -
Yes, I totally agree. Even if suggestions are made to SBST, they will give similar replies.Originally posted by Zilchster:Not a good idea.

Not for Punggol... But for like Woodlands to Pasir Ris or sort, they are ok abt itOriginally posted by bendy2003:Yes, I totally agree. Even if suggestions are made to SBST, they will give similar replies. -
What for? Sengkang Hougang are a few of the nearer Int to punggol.If you merge 82, might as well don't merge. You just amend 82 lah. But if it goes S'goon to pgl alone, might as well withdraw it as it duplicates a bit of NEL and somemore there's still alternative Bus services.Originally posted by my@jas:May I suggest that if this route is to materialise, it could be merged with service 82 such that it terminates at Serangoon Int via punggol?

Simply, Sv 82 IS NEEDED as it is the only bus from Hougang to most of the Punggol RdOriginally posted by sbs&tibs:What for?

82 HAve to stay.. afterall.. during school term.. alot of students uses 82 as their only mode of transport.. it is the only bus from Hougang to most of Punggol Rd at SengkAng Area.. alot of students uses it.. CHIJ,SRJC,NVSS,PPS and a few other schools.. so.. i dont think it is a good idea to do any changes to 82...
