Think no NTU student would want to take this service from JE int to NTU and it would be better if you could shorten this service to CCK Int instead

I say cannot.you know why?
- you are using too much bus stops that the people taking 138 would be lesser commuters
- using this will cause SZG Terminal to belong to SMRT
- no more express routes
that's why!
nonsense. links jurong east to the zoo and steal SMRT customers along the way. alot of people from bukit batok go Jurong East and IMM. the zoo terminal is not used by SMRT. it is jus a bus stop used as a looping point. have you seen Singa pore Zoological Gardens Terminal on the Transitlink Guide of 926, 927. its jus passes it as a stop. u sure no more express routes? what about the recent premium and cityshopper services? the new 45, 175 and 185 does use a small portion of the expressway. 138 should use also.

although its a clear intrusion of SMRT territory. i think that rule should be abolished. that would be a well served route. 176, 187 and 188 use the west of bukit batok while this new 138 uses the east part which demand is left raw and untapped with 945 the only link in bukit gombak. bt panjang to imm linked.
people would wanna have a change from their smrt lifestyle haha.

167 can be amended to ply the following route:
Sembwang Vista
Canberra Rd
Canberra Link
Sembawang Rd (or even cutting into Yishun then Lentor Rd, then YCK)
Upp Thomson Rd
Yio Chu Kang Rd
AMK Ave 6
Marymount Road
Thomson Road (not turning into Marymount Lane like 74 and 852 but going straight)
Then plying its original route.
What do you guys think? :) Firstly, 980 is duplicating its route outright from Novena onwards. Also, there are alot of services at Upp Thomson Rd and Thomson Road that ply almost the same route at 167 (by SBS and even to the same location, Bukit Merah Int).

I think we should have an Express service to go through Bedok Neighbourhood and then go onto PIE then go to Choa Chu Kang and go through Bukit Panjang Town as an alternative to LRT in Bukit Panjang Town.

Suggest changing the current 4xx services into available 2xx serivces.
Then let the 4xx services be used for "MRT duplication" svcs.

so it will be like this izzit:

401 renumbered as 221
402 renumbered as 312
403 renumbered as 353
405 renumbered as 245
408 renumbered as 348
409 renumbered as 349

408 renumbered as 348
409 renumbered as 349

Renumbering would make commuters confused. SBST will normally try to keep a service number the same after it is introduced. -

I like the idea of extending 167 into Yishun (in fact I hoped for it). It will not only enhance travel to Yishun but also increase the passenger loads for the service. For Yishun there's one two ways to get to Orchard, by the long winded 171 or the packed trains. The amended 167 will give another choice for passengers going to town.
-
how about a brand-new service?
861 Yishun to Orchard Boulevard(loop)
Yishun Int - Yishun Avenue 2 - Lentor Avenue - Yio Chu Kang Road - AMK Ave 5/4/3/6 - Marymount Road - Sin Min avenue - Sin ming Drive - Sin Ming Road - Upp Thomson Road - Bradell Road - CTE - Orchard Road - Somerset Road - Orchard Boulevard - Scotts Road - Bt Timah Road - CTE - (return).

I think the planners for both bus deployments and planners for services should look at our feedback in SGF and review it. -

if its Jln Ahmad Ibrahim, AYE, Keppel Rd, ECP, Marine Parade Rd, Siglap Rd, ECP, Airport Blvd.
maybe still can. but the demand for it would be low.

Some route suggestions below: When the future DTL starts operation, the Bukit Timah to Marina Centre section of 171 can be cut, reroute it towards Kent Ridge and renumber it as 971: Yishun Int Yishun Ave 5 Sembawang Rd Mandi Ave Mandi Rd BKE Bt Panjang Rd Pending Rd Cashew Rd Upp Bt Timah Rd Jln Anak Bukit Clementi Rd Kent Ridge Cres Kent Ridge Ter Rerouting and extension of 172 via NTU and to Yishun Respectively, and renumbering it as 972. Route will go as follows: Yishun Int Yishun Ave 2 Mandi Ave Mandi Rd BKE Bt Panjang Rd Choa Chu Kang Rd Teck Whye Ave Choa Chu Kang Ave 1 Choa Chu Kang Ave 3 Bricklands Rd Old Choa Chu Kang Rd Jln Bahar Nanyang Ave Nanyang Dr Nanyang Cres Pioneer Rd Nth Jurong West St 63 Boon Lay Int Extension of 73 from TPY to Harbourfront I find that the S’goon Nth and S’goon Gardens area aren’t well connected to the city area. A direct link to the city area will bring convenience for those residents. From Toa Payoh, it will continue as follows: Jln Toa Payoh Thomson Road Newton Rd Scotts Rd Paterson Rd Irwell Bank Rd Kim Seng Rd Ganges Ave Lower Delta Rd Kampong Bahru Rd Telok Blangah Rd Harbourfront Int Perhaps the current 73 can be renumbered as 73A, serving as a short working trip between AMK and TPY, if there is high demand between these two areas.
