  Got a feeling they are 'ill-treating' the SMRT services.
  
  They are located so far away from the ticket office.

  Probably revenge on how SMRT "ill-treats" SBS Transit at Yishun and Woodlands interchanges...

  i think the location to take service 169 is considered decent...
  once u come up from the escalator from the MRT underpass, the first service available is service 169

  actually the walls are ok... its the direction of the queue berth that causes people not to see if the bus that they want to take is coming.
  
  The queue berth faces the same direction as the traffic flow... how to see?

  i think the designers planned the queue direction in this way because of the direction of human traffic flow, or else people got to walk to the end of the queue area to join the queue.
  
  but i still think having glass panels is still better than the current ones, so that pax can look out whether the bus is coming or not. the only disadvantage of having glass panels is it got to be cleaned frequently.

  not interhchange any more mah when he take the pictures. no bus in it.
  
  anyway, was taking 269 to AMK interchange this afternoon. experience some jam while turning into the interchange.. pedestrians were jaywalking at the junction outside the interchange, thus the buses cant turn into the interchange smoothly even though the buses have the right of way. (the light for pedestrian crossing is red).
  
  I do see some SBST guys stopping the pedestrian last few days from jaywalking, but not today.
  
  Then it also got jam inside while waiting for alighting. only can accomodate 3 buses when alighting.. causing minor jam...

  I guess the SMRT 169 is not moving,that is the parking lot for 169 which is not sheltered.

  u don't know when the bus is coming.. say if the person in front doesn't take the bus.. then no one will take liao
  
  actually with advanced technology nowadays, they should have a LED light light up when the bus arrives or something..

  Quote from SBST press release:
  The new Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange is also equipped with automatic sliding doors at the gates to facilitate boarding and alighting activities.
  All the gates at the boarding berths are also equipped with magnetic detectors where the doors will only be opened when a bus calls at the bus bay for boarding activity.
  
  Seeing the door opens, you can know that the bus has arrived.
  But I still prefer glass panels.

  For the person who has feedback on this, please tell SBST his/her ingenious plans in doing so. Look at it. There is no way that the exit can be widen.

  I would think that the SMRT O.405 is parking. 169's parking place is there.

  There is one way to solve this, change the traffic light timings.
