Future Bus Interchanges
-
splitting of svc will cause transfers very 'mah fan'Originally posted by Donavan:Hope they split BNL INT someway into 2. 1 for Industrial svcs, and the original one for trunk and feeders. BNL very crowded. -
Yes, it is temporary.Originally posted by iveco:BPJ Int temporary one meh?
You mean when BTL comes, there will be a new one?
For your second question, we don't know yet. -
Okay, if it isn't temporary, can you explain to me why the structure for the interchange doesn't looks like it's for permanent, and why is the interchange structure so small in size with no space for future extension.Originally posted by SBS9810X:BTP is not a temp int. -
With the MRT Boon Lay extension (BLE), there is a plan to integrate Boon Lay bus interchange with a commercial complex and also a plan for a bus terminal next to the station in Joo Koon. But whether both plans will be implemented or not, we shall wait for the authorities to announce them.Originally posted by Donavan:Hope they split BNL INT someway into 2. 1 for Industrial svcs, and the original one for trunk and feeders.

A bus interchange within a commercial complex. That's all I know.Originally posted by sbskidz:Does that means that it will be like Sengkang Int???? -
how about simei interchange? there hasn't a bus interchange/terminal in simei and it can bring some services from overcrowded bedok n tampines interchanges to there
-
Simei is part of Tampines and a interchange is not likely. As there is feeder from Tampines serving there and also MRT too(just like Khatib, Yew Tee which is still part of a town and not independent. They also do not have interchange there too) But setting up a bus terminal is still likelyOriginally posted by ah-soh:how about simei interchange? there hasn't a bus interchange/terminal in simei and it can bring some services from overcrowded bedok n tampines interchanges to there -
Very unlikely there will be a bus interchange or terminal at Simei because the load doesn't warrent one as there are buses that links to Bedok , Tanah Merah , Tampines and Pasir Ris. In addition the frequency of svc 9 and 38 is pretty reasonable.Originally posted by ah-soh:how about simei interchange? there hasn't a bus interchange/terminal in simei and it can bring some services from overcrowded bedok n tampines interchanges to there -
In my opinion, Simei estate is underserved by bus services. Having only 3 public daily bus services (ie. 9, 12 and 38.) in Simei is definately not enough. Service 12 should be amended to ply Simei St 3 and Simei Ave to serve more passengers.Originally posted by ah-soh:how about simei interchange? there hasn't a bus interchange/terminal in simei and it can bring some services from overcrowded bedok n tampines interchanges to there -
i think that if you look in a way that involves not only buses but MRTs too. things would be very different.. like what ppl had said.. Simei have 1 MRT stn... thus.. 3 bus Services IMO is enough.Originally posted by tranquilice:In my opinion, Simei estate is underserved by bus services.

I think the number of bus services in a town is determined by the demand and the population size in it, not whether it has a MRT station or not. Neighbouring Tampines also has a MRT station but its bus services are lot more than in Simei due to the larger population and therefore the higher demand.Originally posted by sBs_boy:i think that if you look in a way that involves not only buses but MRTs too. things would be very different.. like what ppl had said..

But I still feel 3 services in Simei is insufficient. -
PTC has a rule that states a trunk bus service must be provided for every 3500 dwelling units in a town with an MRT station. Apparently the 3 services already meets this standard,hence no need for more services in Simei.Originally posted by tranquilice:I think the number of bus services in a town is determined by the demand and the population size in it, not whether it has a MRT station or not.

What if that was not met? Did Sembawang and YT possess the desire number of trunk services?Originally posted by TIB1171R:PTC has a rule that states a trunk bus service must be provided for every 3500 dwelling units in a town with an MRT station.

not met den introduce more svc....S'wang and YT, i tink has the desire number of trunk svcOriginally posted by iamgoondu:What if that was not met? Did Sembawang and YT possess the desire number of trunk services? -
Although the 3 services in Simei has meet the PTC standard, but I hope SBST will continue to introduce or amend services to ply the town when there's a demand.Originally posted by TIB1171R:PTC has a rule that states a trunk bus service must be provided for every 3500 dwelling units in a town with an MRT station.

I have noticed that people from Simei always take the 3 services to Tampines East CC and transfer other services opposite. There is a need for another service there to bring them other places directly instead of transfer and transfer.Originally posted by tranquilice:Although the 3 services in Simei has meet the PTC standard, but I hope SBST will continue to introduce or amend services to ply the town when there's a demand. -
Guys, is ok without an interchange....or else Singaporeans would already complain or some sort.
If u'all feel Simei needs an interchange, then what about Bukit Gombak? Or Yew Tee? -
Can have a small terminal like YCK or not?Originally posted by muziq bus:Guys, is ok without an interchange....or else Singaporeans would already complain or some sort.

u pay?Originally posted by iveco:Can have a small terminal like YCK or not? -
Ehemm,I smell flamings

an interchange has 2 main purposes.
as a centre point for the whole neighbourhood, served by feeder svcs
as an start/end point for services frm one town centre to another, served by trunk svcs
looking at yew tee, bukit gombak, simei, you can literally walk frm the centre to your house. thus, there isnt a need for an int.
the Punggol Int and Sembawang Int shud last a couple of years(>10yrs) IMO. -
Finally, Sembawang gets its own bus interchange.

definitely an upgrade needed for Punggol less than ten yrs i dare say... Punggol will grow bigger... outgrowing sengkang... it mite need feeders... 12 service isnt enuffOriginally posted by sinicker:an interchange has 2 main purposes.
