Bus stop at orchard link to be relocated to grange road.
-
Press release from LTA:
(d) The bus stop at Orchard Link will be relocated to Grange Road in front of the Youth Park. Bus services that previously called at the Orchard Link bus stop will be amended to call at the new bus stop at Grange Road.
Hope it could ease the jam along somerset road. Unfortunately it would be a longer walk from taka to the relocated bus stop. -
Refer to the Press Release thread

yeah.. longer walk kills everyone.. the bus stop at orchard turn will be more practical but less svcs calls there
-
I had sent separate requests to SMRT and SBST, for SMRT hope it would allow 77 and for SBST hope it would allow either 7, 111 or 502 to ply additional stop at Orchard Turn (outside Taka). If accepted, at least those staying in the west has one option to board bus at taka.Originally posted by 105090:yeah.. longer walk kills everyone.. the bus stop at orchard turn will be more practical but less svcs calls there
When TIBS first take over 106 from SBS, thee is one time when TIBS driver forgotten making the left turn to Orcchard Link, and hit straight to Orchard Turn. The driver upon realise the mistake, still able to make a right turn into Orchard Boulevard and stop at the bus stop outside Orchard MRT. Moreever that's was a 'dual cabin' mercs.
Any objections? -
u'll have to find out why is there a busstop at Orchard Link in the first place instead of all calling at the busstop at Orchard Turn

orchard turn will be too crowded and jam-packed if the buses goes to the 2-lane rd there. moreover, it is meant for the special right-aligned bus stop at orchard mrt. -
I am aware of the jam, thus I put up request just for one service.Originally posted by ^tamago^:'dual cabin'? u mean bendy?

And the busstop outside Orchard MRT (that I refer in my earlier post) refers to the usual busstop (that current 77 and 106) stop. I am not referring to the 'special right aligned' bus stop (the one that meant for buses going into scott road). -
But there is an exception. All NR services and NiteOwl 174M call at Orchard Turn bus stop regardless of where they are heading to.Originally posted by ^tamago^:orchard turn will be too crowded and jam-packed if the buses goes to the 2-lane rd there. moreover, it is meant for the special right-aligned bus stop at orchard mrt. -
NR and Nite OWl services are more "special" and they ply funny roads like mohamad sultan rd, which mno eegular svc calls at. also, the services cancall at orchard turn because it will be late with fewer vehicles after midnight
