Some thoughts...
-
Is it true that bus companies are now trying to close down the lower usage terminals to save costs?
It recently first started with Svc 63 being amended to terminate at Eunos Int and Rumah Tinggi Terminal being closed down.
Next, it was Svc 82 to be amended to terminate at Serangoon Int and Punggol Rd End Terminal to close down.
Now, it is Svc 175 to be amended to terminate at Bt Panjang Int and Lim Chu Kang Rd End Terminal to close down.
This shows that bus terminals serving 1 or 2 buses have a risk of being closed down and the following terminals I think are in the high risk group of being the next one to be closed:
Admiralty Rd West Ter: Svc 980 may be rerouted to Woodlands Int or the new Sembawang Ter
Ghim Moh Ter: Svc 100 and Svc 111 may be rerouted to serve the nearby Buona Vista Ter
Queen Street Ter: Svc 170 may be rerouted to Marina Centre Ter or Geylang Lor 1 Ter
Sembawang Rd End Ter: Svc 167 may be rerouted to the new Sembawang Ter
Sims Place Ter: Svc 64 may be rerouted to Eunos Int
What do you'll think about this? -
Lim Chu Kang Terminal won't be closed down!
It will remain. Only the CCK-Upp Bt Timahsector will be affected

there was never much of a terminal at LCK Rd End anyway. It's just a bus stop, a cul-de-sac, a portable toilet and a office(i think?) that isn't TIBS/SMRT's.
Makes sense to centralise all of their terminal offices actually. The staff at all those offices can work with much better resources at the respective interchanges than instead of the tiny container offices
They also have proper snack shops and canteens too (although Sembawang Rd End terminal has one, kinda rustic. Jln Kayu used to have one, but it's been boarded up)
For Sims Place and Ghim Moh terminals, my thoughts are that even though they may be closed down, 100 111 64 will be rerouted in such a way that they'll still serve those estates. Both of these estates are kinda medium sized (and have great food ) and the only other services serving them 92 and 125 don't exactly have good frequency.
Queen Street will never be closed down, that's what i think). It's a convienent transport "hub" to get to JB, with all those M'sia taxis and the SJE and Causeway Link stopping there. Tops they'll maybe merge it with the Lavender St coach station? -

A dead end street which widens sufficiently at the end to permit an automobile to make a "U" turn.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:What is cul-de-sac?

LCK ter is not much of a terminal anyway, just a small space for the bus to u-turn (got space there for 2 buses to be parked) and a portable toilet. Nothing much to close down.
