Sembawang Bus Interchange Constrution PHOTOS *EXCLUSIVE*
-
for SBW residents, i think SMRT wants them to take the train to Khatib then take 858/965/969 to the Changi Airport/Sengkang/Tampines. for the die-die-want-to-sit-down kind of people, take the train to WDL. SBW is a small town.. i don't think SMRT is willing to put more services there.. SBW is likely to be today's Simei. SBW is already better than Simei at this moment.Originally posted by Edgar_Davids:lol, blame it on Gambas Ave,
858, 965 and 969 uses Gambas Ave, which perhaps is the fastest link for Yishun and Woodlands residents to travel to and fro, intentionally skipping sembawang estate
meaning these 3 semi-express svcs are catered to benefit only yishun and woodlands residents, sembawang residents have no share in these services
if there is no Gambas Ave, these 3 svcs have to pass by sembawang
just like semi express sv 966 directly linking woodlands and eunos/marine parade via BKE and PIE
i won't be surprised in months to come, this service will make a detour to bt panjang estate -
ya at least we have 167 and 980 which take you directly to orchard, town area and CBDOriginally posted by sinicker:for SBW residents, i think SMRT wants them to take the train to Khatib then take 858/965/969 to the Changi Airport/Sengkang/Tampines. for the die-die-want-to-sit-down kind of people, take the train to WDL.

simei only has sv 12 to city -
im officially pissed cause they took my 980 and placed it at the sembawang int..now i need to go allll the way to the interchange to catch that bus. they haddddd to cut short the route. why don they just make 980 go one round b4 going into the interchanfe..haiyo...i was expecting better things with the opening of a bus interchange.

With the opening of Sembawang Interchange and intro of svc 882, I wonder whether some of the existing bus svcs be re-numbered in the near future?
eg:
980 renumbered as 880
167 renumbered as 887
981 renumbered as 881 -
Technically speaking, Simei is part of Tampines, while Sembawang is a New Town in its own right.
There can be routes from SBW to PGL via YIS, if SMRT can help it. I don't think SBST is interested, for they seem to be having a squeeze on their fleet at the moment. -
they could....but havent this buses been around for ages....if they change...its a legacy lost...but thats nonsense. its possible but ill lean more to a no. id rather they save those numbers for bettter services.

So the New Service 882 will be under which Depot control will it be under AMDEP or WLDEP ?.
-
I think 882 will be controlled by both AMDEP & WLDEP, just like Svc 167 & 980.Originally posted by 5454:So the New Service 882 will be under which Depot control will it be under AMDEP or WLDEP ?. -
Ok that would be cool anyway wonder what type of buses would be deployed on service 882.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:I think 882 will be controlled by both AMDEP & WLDEP, just like Svc 167 & 980. -
i think 882 would be solely controlled by WDLEP.
for service 882, i think only abt 2-4 buses are required. no need two depots to control it.
AMDEP controlled 167/980 coz' it's nearer to Bukit Merah/Geylang Lor 1 respectively. need to send out first bus quickly. -
882 is under AMDEP. Sembawang Int is under the purview of AMDEP. That doesn't mean 167 and 980 will go full AMDEP, but rather it's just the control of interchange and the Sembawang route group.Originally posted by sinicker:i think 882 would be solely controlled by WDLEP.

thanks for clarifying..Originally posted by ^tamago^:882 is under AMDEP. -
MB O405 & Dennis Lances may be used on Svc 882.Originally posted by 5454:Ok that would be cool anyway wonder what type of buses would be deployed on service 882. -
Got info from my SMRTB SC Friends saying that Sembawang Interchange will be dual-controlled by both AMDEP & WLDEP.

The road at Sembawang Rd there also narrow so the bus can drive slowly -
If that is the case, shouldn't 961 be dual control as well? It is a rather long route.Originally posted by sinicker:i think 882 would be solely controlled by WDLEP.

it seems that the 88x series may be reserved for feeder routes?Originally posted by SBS3688Y:With the opening of Sembawang Interchange and intro of svc 882, I wonder whether some of the existing bus svcs be re-numbered in the near future?
eg:
980 renumbered as 880

87x 89x 93x series still not used

sinicker is right about amdep controlling part of 167 and 980 as they have far terminating points in the southern and eastern areas. other examples are include 67, 858 and 969.Originally posted by iveco:If that is the case, shouldn't 961 be dual control as well? It is a rather long route.
961 is full wldep most probably due to historical reasons, maybe because 18x services then were full wldep. -
As well as 99x.Originally posted by 105090:it seems that the 88x series may be reserved for feeder routes?
