It is cheaper to travel from one end of Woodlands to the other than Hougang.
As for 112 and 113 being townlinks, I fully agree. But if I were to see it from another point of view, it doesn't really matter whether both of them are townlinks, especially 113. Who will take 113 from the area in hg central to ave 1? For me, I would rather take 87/151/51 and walk, or 62. Not only it is faster, it is also cheaper (no student fares or concessions please). So it doesn't really matter if 113 is a trunk, feeder or townlink service. Same with 112, nobody will take it from the interchange to hg north. I will rather take other services like 72, 74, 325, 147, 101 etc. Anyway, 112 and 113 are like feeders to me [b]if I were to take them from Kovan City. I still pay feeder fares and still enjoy most parts of the former feeders routes. This being said, I would not take them from the interchange if I were to go to parts of hg beyond Kovan City or vice versa.
These are only my humble opinions. You might disgree with me.[/b]

The reason why I think the closure of HGS Int was a mistake is due to what some of you guys pointed out that HGN Int has parking woes. A side note, 115 can be enhanced. It should recover the connections lost when 323 was pulled.[/b]
Haha, I was thinking about it also. Maybe it should go this way: HGN, Ave 5, Ave 7, Defu Ave 1, Ave 3, Upp Serangoon Road, St 21, Ave 1, Lor Ah Soo, Ave 3, Defu Ave 1, Ave 7, Ave 5, HGN.Originally posted by iveco:The reason why I think the closure of HGS Int was a mistake is due to what some of you guys pointed out that HGN Int has parking woes.

Between 1996 to 2003, it was still operational. But it's a side issue. The point I am making is Tibs didn't convert the feeder routes into trunk ones even after merging them.Originally posted by sbst275:WDL was last year I think... It is totally gone now
But it was not a interchange liao... It was their version of Townlink.... This 112, 113, 115, may have to ask SBS why thisOriginally posted by iveco:Between 1996 to 2003, it was still operational.

Use a quote from most of the popular doramas, "SBST IS SBST, TIBS IS TIBS". My main point is that they love to eat into the pockets of the minority, but what can we do? With minority, I'm referring to those who will take from one end to the other end of the town using these intra-town services. The majority, I think will not do so. There are too many alternatives already.Originally posted by iveco:Between 1996 to 2003, it was still operational. But it's a side issue.
