Amendment of 502
-
502 & 502A has the same start point. 502B will skip Boon Lay & start from Jurong West Ave 1.Originally posted by SBS9828X:so the diff of 502,502A adn 502B is the starting point? -
i think SBST is desperate to redefine the term "express" in Express 502. there have been passengers who take Express 502 and SMRT's 75/77 overtakes SBST's Express 502.
moreover, Jurong West Ext residents get a direct connection to Orchard (i wouldnt say to Marina Ctr, still faster by train). -
They could introduce FFW 502e charging the same fare instead of 502As and Bs to provide faster connection.

A much more express svc of an express svc? No. Coz the route is fixedOriginally posted by SBS9889U:They could introduce FFW 502e charging the same fare instead of 502As and Bs to provide faster connection. -

FFW 502Ae/502BeOriginally posted by sinicker:FFw 502e² -
NONO. Wad i mean is that the FFW502e could have started from Tuas Terminal and provide direct and fast link to Boon Lay for the workers @ Tuas and yet another fast link to city.
If not, the proposed 502A could be extended to Tuas Terminal for better connection. -
FYI Tuas Terminal is going to be removed sometime in the near future.Originally posted by SBS9889U:NONO. Wad i mean is that the FFW502e could have started from Tuas Terminal and provide direct and fast link to Boon Lay for the workers @ Tuas and yet another fast link to city.

no way. their target for a city-bound express service was never industrial workers.Originally posted by SBS9889U:NONO. Wad i mean is that the FFW502e could have started from Tuas Terminal and provide direct and fast link to Boon Lay for the workers @ Tuas and yet another fast link to city.

Svc 502A will not be extended to Tuas Ter as the route between Tuas Ter & Boon Lay will have lesser demand.Originally posted by ^tamago^:no way. their target for a city-bound express service was never industrial workers. -
since it is going to be a longer distance should 502 extended to SLBP, will it be make terminating at Marina Centre rather than looping?
Also will SLBP allowed boarding and alighting of buses? -
No boarding & alighting in SLBP. The first stop will be outside Blk 988B & the last stop outside Blk 653B. The looping point has been changed from opp Ritz-Carlton to outside Esplanade (same looping point as sv97...not that it'll make any difference to the route).Originally posted by ah-soh:since it is going to be a longer distance should 502 extended to SLBP, will it be make terminating at Marina Centre rather than looping?

SLBP is a bus depot, not bus terminal.Originally posted by ah-soh:since it is going to be a longer distance should 502 extended to SLBP, will it be make terminating at Marina Centre rather than looping?

Why not let the bus stop at the pair of bus stops between Upp Jurong Rd/Boon Lay Way and Kian Teck Way/Soon Lee Rd?Originally posted by samtlk:No boarding & alighting in SLBP. The first stop will be outside Blk 988B & the last stop outside Blk 653B. -
The main target is the residents living in Jurong West ext. The only people boarding/alighting from that pair of stops are SBST staffs & industrial workers.Originally posted by kc_leung:Why not let the bus stop at the pair of bus stops between Upp Jurong Rd/Boon Lay Way and Kian Teck Way/Soon Lee Rd? -

SBS3904Z...what does this has to do with the topic?Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:Saw EB42 at Jurong West. (If I'm wrong, pls correct me) -
I meant EB42 on that particular bus stop at Jurong West extension. Anyway, let's get back to the topic before it gets way out.Originally posted by samtlk:SBS3904Z...what does this has to do with the topic? -
