Pioneer rd north will have more residents soon as HDB is trying to sell off the fats , plus more facitlites are coming up to " attract residents "Originally posted by chickenlittle2:Hi everyone, I am writing behalf of the people staying in Jurong West St 91. I feel that svc 502 should also turn into Jurong West 91 like 174M. It was because there are more residents here but Pionner rd nth had lesser residents. My friends who stayed in Blk 906 had to walk out all the way to Ave 5. He had another option to take 99 or 242 out, but that make him spent more. So I trying to get support frm this forum to hope that SBS Transit would consider to make this amendment. I guess the company would not want to lose passengers in JW st 91 as there are more people staying along there compared to Pioneer Rd. Please make some comments..
Thanks..

Around 65% in St 91 residents work in Orchard Rd and Suntec.Originally posted by SBS BUSES LOVER:Pioneer rd north will have more residents soon as HDB is trying to sell off the fats , plus more facitlites are coming up to " attract residents "
* Pioneer Mrt station
* Sports Hub
and it is also a " easier" link to Soon lee for BCs . st 91/92 residents could just have a 5-10mins walk to the busstop @ blk 978 or blk 834 , and if 502 calls at st 91 it will partialy be duplicating the route of svc 99 .
not many commuters will pay to board the express bus to go to jurong west/east avenue 1(unless they plan to go to orchard rd) as svc 99 also calls along that area same as the express bus route , and the express bus charges are higher which commuters would rather take 99 .
i stay along jurong west ave 5 blk 832 , i notice that most of the commuters on svc 99 after looping from st 91 are "senior citizens " . in the morning peak it is students .
if 502 gets ammended to st 91 , there will not be much passenger load during off peak hours . since it duplicates the 99 route , students will take that to reach their schools along jurong east/west ave 1 , during morning peak . Commuters would rather take 99 than paying double taking the express bus ...i noticed that along jurong west ave5 , if the 99 bus comes packed to the door , students will then take the 502 bus , if the bus is not packed the students will rather take 99 than 502 .
And , the main purpose of 502 to call @ pioneer north is the new Jurong west sports complex ( which is in its final stages ) , so that it would provide a direct link (besides 179 ,192 ,193) to the residents to the sports complex . so that residents from all over jurong west , jurong east can have easier/ convenient acces to the place . as you know the jurong east sports complex is always packed and it "outdated" , as in it is not that fun anymore , more people would want to visit the new sports complex & facilities ( this include waterslides , stadium , indoor sports hall ,etc ) there . This would bring in more revenue to SBS Transit .
I would prefer for the bus to maintain its exitsitg route to call @ Pioneer Rd north.![]()

it is Soon Lee bus park , not soon chow , soon chow is the bodywork of the turf city busesOriginally posted by chickenlittle2:buses drivers frm soon chow depot in the bus.
Think you should reflect your thinking...Originally posted by chickenlittle2:Around 65% in St 91 residents work in Orchard Rd and Suntec.
ok, i knew that 502 ply the same road as 99. It had a slight different. 502 ply along Jurong Junior College to Jurong West and Toh Guan (IMM). 502A also made a very big different to 99. You dun tell me that people in the Orchard rd come all the way to Jurong west for the sports complex?
To make a different. 502 can turn into the bus stop beside the Prime Market along St 91 (Blk 962).After that, bus can turn before Blk 931 and turn to JW St 93. Additional bus stop can be added at the Sports complex. Next, it can still turn out to Soon Chow depot. This road is often used by 174M. This would better serve St 93 (Blk 976) residents as there are no bus service there and they got to walk out. When rains, it would be a inconvience one.
Pioneer Rd north residents had nearly up to zero passangers everytime. Only buses drivers frm soon chow depot in the bus. It is a waste of diesel taking that road. It was like what i say above, more residents in st 91.

1. It is Soon Lee Depot..
2. Who want to waste $$$ on Express svc unless you didn't plan your route & time to work???
3. 502 is amended so Boon Lay Int will not become overcrowded daliy & the buses will not be packed liked starting from Boon Lay Int.
4. Maybe SBS Transit will extend either svc 99 or 242 to loop at Jurong West St 93 to provide residents living in Jurong West St 91 to Pioneer Stn???faster way to MRT & more empty MRT???
5. From Soon Lee Depot to Jurong West St 91 bus stop, bus not wasting petrol & $$$ as the BC hs to drive an empty bus for a distance???
6. I too live in Jurong West Extension & the buses always packed during peak hrs & I just [b]walk to Boon Lay Int...
7. Also there are no shelters from the bus stop along parts of Jurong West Extension...[/b]

Taking bus to St 91 & walk???Originally posted by chickenlittle2:NTU students can take at st 91 and need nt pay for addition bus fare or wait for 2 buses. They can walk across the bridge(PIE). Do u know os fustrating to wait for 2 buses.
BUT 242 GOT DEPLOYED DOULBE DECKS DURING PEAK HRS AS COMPARED TO 240, 243G & 243W SDs!!!Originally posted by chickenlittle2:About 242, U gt try to Queue up and boon lay INt frm 7.45- 9pm. The line is as long to the MRT station. Most were working in the city. EVen 242 got into st 91 during peak hours, the bus is as pack as it come out frm the INT
Sorry to informed you that :Originally posted by chickenlittle2:Hello, aft 9am the bus is still pack as u say a lot of elderly there . They took 242 to st 91 for the wet market. DO u see wet market in Jurong west ave 5. Pls do some research before u reply something nasty.![]()

Originally posted by brotherchen1982:Hello, I am working in Orchard. I need a direct bus.(Nowadays MRT still need to wait for 5min even at Boon Lay Stn). I had my breakfast in my office. Actually 502 is not veri EX. If u compare the time and fare, it is actually comparable. 502, u can sleep all the way when u get into the bus. (Not like Transfer bus to MRT) Mrt also very crowded, may cause breating difficulty.
Dear chickenlittle2,
[b]Some are typed in simplest form as this is not a formal forum, test nor examination...
2. If you get up early, you can take svc 242, transfer to MRT, eat your breakfast, rest for while bef starting work rather than waiting for & taking Expess 502 to work unless you are lazy to wake up early & is a very impatient person...
4. That could be 1 of the reason why SBS Transit didn't amended Express 502 to St 93.
Also Jurong West Extension is expanding the past few yrs & LTA is going to bulid Pioneer Stn along St 63 which is quite near to St 93, so they expected the residents living around St 93 to walk to Pioneer Stn just like the Buangkok Stn case...
5. ''MORE residents in st 91, ...'', so what???![]()

Have you spare a thought for those living in Jurong West St 6X, St 7X, St 8X, Ave 3/5, along Boon Lay Way/Pioneer Rd Nth???![]()

They had been squeezed like sardines on feeders & 181 to Boon Lay Int to transfer to bus/MRT to Orchard...![]()

whereas ST 91 GOT 99(MOSTLY DDs) & ALSO 242 GOT DOUBLE DECKS DURING PEAK HRS!!!

6. My friend & I lived near Pioneer Rd Nth but we walked from there to the crowded Boon Lay Int/MRT Stn daliy to work/play...as 192/193 need to wait very long & go a small round bef Boon Lay Int, 502 very expensive to us as we just started working...

Like Svc 66 and 506 ply the same road, why can't 502 and 99 be the same. 502 can sleep for about 40 mins leh..
Did u feedback to SBST?Originally posted by chickenlittle2:Dear Brotherchen1982,
Just like wat SBS9889U says, let 502 test it for a short period. U argue so much for wat. Like wat I say earlier, if that the case 174M should not come into st 91 but ur favourite Pionner Rd.
That's why 502 skip the stop outside SLBP & start/end at the housing estates.Originally posted by chickenlittle2:Pionner Rd got hostel there, u want bangldash to take 502? Pls... )Expensive rite?)
Try taking 242 after 10pm. SDs at 10 mins interval.Originally posted by chickenlittle2:242 again, u really got to try taking 242 in 8.00pm-8.45pm. Hello those DD last bus is 7.45pm. Only one non- aircon DD starts at 8.45pm. Try then say la..
