A need for Eunos Interchange to have a new service
-
This makes me wonder if Express services are still useful these days.Originally posted by 105090:too many ppl are suggesting that new buses ply expressway.. tho it seems impossible except mainly sv190 in the past, and now, with the TPE, SKG svcs and the North (eg. WDL) <--> East (eg. TAM) sector. then came Express services.. now more trunk svcs uses expressway, but i dun think it may mean more revenue for some svcs.. look at sv48..

87 is not that competitive with 25, 55 and 854...if it is, so will svc 51Originally posted by sbst275:HG, Defu, Kaki Bt there got 87 dun forget

There is some who wouldn't mind pay a bit more as majority paxs wouldn't want to board if it just a few stops to Interchange,Example is 506(To Inter from Bedok Reservoir) compared if you board 228 from Bedok Reservoir to InterchangeOriginally posted by iveco:This makes me wonder if Express services are still useful these days. -
yeah.. premium fares are to deter jokers who board before the bus enters the expressway.. still, Express services may actually count to a small premium for some passengers, esp when trransfers are involved if ppl take MRT > Bus when express services r the direct ones, such as sv511, sv512Originally posted by carbikebus:There is some who wouldn't mind pay a bit more as majority paxs wouldn't want to board if it just a few stops to Interchange,Example is 506(To Inter from Bedok Reservoir) compared if you board 228 from Bedok Reservoir to Interchange
and yes.. i took CT8 and there was at least 3 adult fare paying passengers who board and alight within Ang Mo Kio... -
In my point of view, I feel that Eunos Is rather well-connected to the rest of the island, such as Jurong, Boon Lay, Pasir Ris, Marine Parade, Tampines, Choa Chu Kang, Yishun, Bukit Batok, Harbourfront, Chinatown, Little India, so on and so forth. Furthermore, with the existence of the MRT line, I couldnt see the justification for Eunos to have a new service
Yes, Eunos INterchange is very serene and empty, but i feel we should have new bus services to operate from Eunos just for the sake of having bus services.
Nevertheless, I feel alright with 9/35 extending to Eunos though. -
New services originating from Eunos can be used to make new connections in hte way 57 & 58 have done.

Express 506 to Bedok Int from Bedok Resevoir during off peak/AM Peak is much faster than 66 and 228. However, there is not much different if it is the PM Peak.Originally posted by carbikebus:There is some who wouldn't mind pay a bit more as majority paxs wouldn't want to board if it just a few stops to Interchange,Example is 506(To Inter from Bedok Reservoir) compared if you board 228 from Bedok Reservoir to Interchange -
Seems like Express 518 the other way round.Originally posted by 28_29_293:how abt a svc from tampines to marina ctr passing via bedok then expressway? -
i want complain!!!
always wait for service 93 until more than 20 mins! -
Actually, 23 can be extended to Marina Ctr. However, I prefer it to be used as cover for 81/103. But this is off topic, and you guys are free to create a new thread to further the discussion.Originally posted by tranquilice:Seems like Express 518 the other way round. -
There's already Express 518 from Pasir Ris, Tampines to Marina Centre, and service 10 passing by Suntec City. Also, extending service 23 to Marina Centre will probably duplicates service 857.Originally posted by iveco:Actually, 23 can be extended to Marina Ctr.

That's why I prefer the latter. Since 103 was amended, one of the bus stops along Neil Rd has fallen into disuse. What's more it was upgraded some years back.Originally posted by tranquilice:There's already Express 518 from Pasir Ris, Tampines to Marina Centre, and service 10 passing by Suntec City.

Back to topic, Eunos does need new routes. As I said before, they can open up new links like 57 & 58 have done. My suggestion regarding a EUN-CLE route on page 1 sounds great, dunnit? -
Have you feedback to SBST about this route? I like to see a bus link between Clementi and Tiong Bahru.Originally posted by iveco:Back to topic, Eunos does need new routes.

Not yet. But I doubt they will take it seriously. But Chinatown and Suntec certainly need better links. The Tiong Baru part is only that one-way section near Seng Poh market, not Tiong Baru Plaza.Originally posted by tranquilice:Have you feedback to SBST about this route?

I know but I like a direct bus link between Clementi and Tiong Bahru Plaza.Originally posted by iveco:The Tiong Baru part is only that one-way section near Seng Poh market, not Tiong Baru Plaza. -
Perhaps SMRT could come up with a direct link between SBW and EUN in future when KPE is open.
Route may be something like this:
SBW Int, Canberra Link, YIS Ave 2, Lentor Ave, SLE, TPE, KPE, Airport Rd, Paya Lebar Rd, Sims Ave, EUN Rd 2, EUN Int. -
well, 95% of new bus route proposals ends up with the route using expressway.. i dun think the bus companies will realy like it since it disocurage boarding and alighting activites, tho beneficial to passengers, but not so for the operators..
-
To be frank, no takers for Airport Rd...Originally posted by iveco:Perhaps SMRT could come up with a direct link between SBW and EUN in future when KPE is open.
