Next Air-Conditioned bus interchange
-
I heard that the next Air-Cond bus int is Yishun,Bukit Panjang,Tampines & Serangoon.Bukit Panjang Interchange is still in good use,don't you think so?
-

YISHUN YISHUN YISHUN YISHUN!
i hope YISHUN quicker!!! new northpoint extension coming up real soon! -
I think the next air-con bus interchange will be clementi and boon lay
-
No. Hope Bukit Panjang get an aircon int soon. The floors in that interchange is bloody wet and EXTREMELY slippery during rainy season . Bad situation for the elderly.Originally posted by Transtar Solitarie:I heard that the next Air-Cond bus int is Yishun,Bukit Panjang,Tampines & Serangoon.Bukit Panjang Interchange is still in good use,don't you think so?
The eatery is also too small and rather lousy for the BCs IMO .
Those people waiting at the int for buses are almost fully exposed to the weather during heavy rain , as the wind brings in alot of rain and onto the plp.
The alighting berth also only permts 1 bendy or 2 rigids . So if theres alot of buses coming in , all of them have to queue up and can jam up that area . -
TS is right.
Bt Panjang is really a short to medium-term bus interchange structure. -
When the Bukit Timah Line terminal is built, can we expect to see a proper interchange?
-
I would consider it a medium. It has been here for almost 7 years i think. If the new interchange were to be built with the BTL , the interchange would have reached aroud 10 years of age , or possibly even older.Originally posted by ^tamago^:TS is right.

I hope my MP doesn't cheat my feelings... i.e to build a underground interchange once the BTL is completed....Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:No. Hope Bukit Panjang get an aircon int soon.

i dont understand why bus interchanges need to be air-conditioned.
its such a waste of money. -
Well err... Yishun Interchange is definitely older than 7 years of age. Let me illustrate the problems of this poorly-designed interchange:Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:I would consider it a medium. It has been here for almost 7 years i think.

1) Low flooring just off the exit of NorthPoint: Coupled with high ceilings the floor is always flooded during rainy days and the cleaner always had to clean it up.
2) Berths placed too close to road: With high ceilings (again) they often get wet also when rain approaches. Especially at Berth B2 of the interchange.
3) (I think this one should be considered a reason as well) Low height restrictions: While most have 4.5m height limit, Yishun INT's entrance is 4.1m with the parking berths only 3.2m in height. DDs can't enter except from the exit.
I think there are more reasons to this but these are the main reasons. Yishun INT was poorly designed (extremely high ceiling about 6.5m in height) and often gets wet during rainy seasons. Even if no Air-con also can; just make the ceiling lower.

After Clementi and Boon Lay, it should be Yishun if I am not wrong......
Don't think Bt Panjang will get an air condition interchange soon esp. when the interchange is only less than 10 years....... But I do agree that the interchange is too small.......
Off topic a bit, some older interchanges like Bt Merah seems to have no plan for a re-built -
u noe why? cos smrt very cheapskateOriginally posted by ^tamago^:TS is right.

Yishun confirmed.
It was reported eariler this year...think during june? -
Other than TPY and SK interchange...AMK is basically part of the shopping centre.Originally posted by dragg:i dont understand why bus interchanges need to be air-conditioned.

Bukit Merah or Bedok better.

Yep, the area around Yishun Central starting to make shape... opposite Block 925 the blank piece of land would be allocated to the upcoming Yishun library, while between Block 925 and GV Yishun would be NorthPoint extension, then in the future Yishun INT would be air-conditioned.Originally posted by Y_Shun:Yishun confirmed.

Speaking of that, Yishun INT may be re-located opposite Block 925 when works start. So highly possible Yishun Library will be only after Yishun INT finishes. Or not... there's no other choices (most of the bare land already taken up by the upcoming Hospital).
Yishun Central getting packed. -

Think Yishun will also be part of shopping centre in the future. Basically now it's directly beside NorthPoint already.Originally posted by Y_Shun:Other than TPY and SK interchange...AMK is basically part of the shopping centre.

In the future services like 851, 852, 853, 854, 855, 856, 857, 859, 171 all have to make use of Yishun Central 1 to turn into tempo INT (If tempo Yishun INT is really opp. Block 925) while 800, 804, 806, 811, 812 all get shortened by 1 bus stop.Originally posted by Oceane:Yep, the area around Yishun Central starting to make shape... opposite Block 925 the blank piece of land would be allocated to the upcoming Yishun library, while between Block 925 and GV Yishun would be NorthPoint extension, then in the future Yishun INT would be air-conditioned.

So the proposal to have the air-conditioned Buona Vista Interchange next to Buona Vista MRT Station is dead? No LTA HQ, no BV Interchange?

Plan scrapped.Originally posted by iamgoondu:So the proposal to have the air-conditioned Buona Vista Interchange next to Buona Vista MRT Station is dead? No LTA HQ, no BV Interchange?
I remembered reading some article on Straits Times, but cannot find it.
Nonetheless, I found something here.LTA, which was in the limelight a few months ago when it had to shelve its plans to build its own HQ near Buona Vista MRT Station following adverse public reaction, is said to be currently in talks to possibly lease the entire 18-storey Keppel Bay Tower. The property, located near the new HarbourFront MRT station, has nearly 400,000 sq ft of net lettable area.
...
LTA made the headlines in August when it shelved plans to build a new HQ that could have cost up to $500 million, soon after the plans were revealed.
There was much adverse public reaction to the proposal, which would have centralised the government agency's operations under one roof. -
with more aircon facilities, how to go green?

I remember there was an article in the Straits Times sometime back about someone complaining of poisonous fumes in Sengkang INT. Apparently there were holes in the ceilings which allowed posionous fumes to enter.Originally posted by Ah Cek:with more aircon facilities, how to go green?
