Hope to see a new change for Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange
-
Maybe no need to give up ALL the bendies on Woodlands feeders. SMRT can make WD feeder services to have 60%bendy and 40%normal buses. Since the buses are not full all they long, it is no point giving 100% bendies. There are other trunk services which need it moreOriginally posted by muziq bus:Cannot. Woodlands area really need these bendies. Look at the feeders. Usually packed. Becoz itz da only way to get from the estates to the main town centre....furthermore, Woodlands is a huge regional centre like Tampines n Jurong. -
With all due respect here, have you personally went into each INDIVIDUAL Woodlands neighbourhood to check out the loads of the Bendies at different times of the day? If you have not, please do so before making such a statement. Must the buses be full all the time to be "eligible" for Bendies? I don't think so. All the feeders in Woodlands, with exception to services 901 and 911, have a full Bendy fleet for a single reason - demand is very high. In fact, Bendies are making a comeback on 911 on weekdays as well, instead of just weekends.Originally posted by cck_190:Maybe no need to give up ALL the bendies on Woodlands feeders.

Put it this way, by deploying Bendies on the feeders, the company can spare more normal buses for other services. If they take away these Bendies, they have to replace every Bendy with not one SD, but at least two SDs, also because of high demand. And as you know, the company already has shortage of buses. You won't want the current situation to deteriorate.
And please keep to the topic of Bukit Panjang Int, not Woodlands. -
Why is BPJ Int a temporary one? Will it be replaced when the BTL comes up?
Also, will there be a new interchange @ BNV built into the CCL station? -
Imagine what if SBST takes over Woodlands and send their tiny darts on WL 913......Someone's gonna kill me.....Originally posted by TIB1171R:Yes. Woodlands services, like their Yishun counterparts, need Bendies to function as well. It'll be chaotic if the Bendies are replaced with normal SDs
It is a perm one in the first place.Originally posted by TIB1171R:Why is BPJ Int a temporary one? Will it be replaced when the BTL comes up? -
Nope. Bukit Panjang interchange is temporary. Just look at the size and structure of the interchange shelter.Originally posted by SBS9810X:It is a perm one in the first place. -
Yup...it is temporary. It was written on the board during construction as "Proposed building of a Temporary Bus interchange. The new interchange is supposed to be intergrated with the Bukit Timah line MRT StationOriginally posted by tranquilice:Nope. Bukit Panjang interchange is temporary.

Anyway, CLE Int had been in its horrible state for close to 30 years, but nobody said it was a temporary one, did they? -

Even the BTL won't pass near Segar area. It will start from the town centre (BPJ LRT station) and stretch south-eastwards to the CBD.Originally posted by jay_rocks:imagine u haf to look at the stupid lousy lrt for the rest of ur life. i might as well move to some area with mrt.
