Last part too long winded. If possible shorten it to Outram Park, or (according to my suggestion) to Boon Lay.

but then it IS in fact a half-trip, ending at CCK -

Extension of Svc 163 to Lavendar MRT (loop)

...
Toa Payoh Lor 6,4,6
PIE
Bendemeer Rd
Lavendar St
Crawford St
North Bridge Road (Short break)

...Pros:
Creates links from Upp Thomson Road to PIE and Boon Keng MRT.
Faster way from Upp Thomson Rd to Lavender MRT than 980.
Faster way from Toa Payoh to Lavender MRT than 145.
Cons:
Long journey with around 50 stages with no proper break point. -
Toa Payoh townlink.. Can help ppl from East Tpy to West tpy.. But, I suppose ppl living in tpy have posted this before alr?
Townlink 23(?)
West Loop
Int
Lor 1 to Braddell MRT
Lor 2 (232's southbound route to int)
East loop
Lor 6
Lor 8 (238's route w/o turning into braddell road but turn left to lor 6)
Lor 5 (235's route back to int)
I guess this is not that good? But i'm just seeking comments.. so.. yeh. -

But i'm just seeking comments.. so.. yeh.We had some discussions about TPY feeders already and the final decision was that there shouldnt be any big revamp of the feeders. Each of them serve its own purpose. Good try anyway but the demand for the east loop will be a lot more than that for the west loop.

I see.. Okay.

Actually Svc 38 and 60 can be merged to form a Tampines to Eunos service.
The pros:
Link Bedok Reservoir to Simei/Singapore Expo.
Link Bedok Reservoir to Bedok South Road.
Free up space in Bedok Int.
But there are some cons also:
Might not be able to use DD due to Simei side I think.
It can be a dual BRBP/BNDEP controlled service and the total farestage per direction is around 21 per direction which sounds reasonable.
As for the West side, should 254 being shortened to Joo Koon Ter, 79 can consider extend to Joo Koon Ter also plying the deleted sectors of 254 until Pioneer Road (Before Benoi Road), Benoi Rd and Joo Koon Ter. -

KUBs will do, and a beefed up frequency shld be able to handle the load.

Hi all,I am new to this forum but we share common interest - buses. Would like to suggest that SMRT extend Service 180 to link Jurong West & East, CCK, Bukit Panjang and Woodlands residents to Punggol as currently one has to take train to change at Woodlands interchange onto Service 161 and change at SengKang MRT to Punggol and transfer to another feeder bus or LRT. This is the fastest way so far, I believe. Why Serv 180 is considered is bcos it's such a short distance trunk service with only 12 stages in total currently.
Route:
Petir Road
Pending Road
Bukit Panjang Road

Woodlands Ave 2
Woodlands Ave 5
Woodlands Ave 12

I thought this would be suitable to suggest.
Current Service 168 route to Woodlands (Part)
Bedok Reservior Road
...
- Opp Bedok Reform Trg Ctr
Tampines Ave 1
- Opp SAFRA Tampines
Tampines Ave 5
- Blk 938
Tampines Ave 4
- UOB Tampines Ctr
...And vice-versa for the Bedok-bound route.
But this route largely duplicates a number of services, most notable being Service 21, which also uses this same route. What I suggest is...
Amended Service 168 route to Woodlands (Part)
Bedok Reservior Road
...
- Opp Bedok Reform Trg Ctr
Tampines Ave 4
- Opp East View Pri Sch
- St. Hilda's Sec Sch
- Opp Blk 945
- UOB Tampines Ctr
...And vice-versa for the Bedok-bound route.
Not that I'm being biased (should pay partly), but I have reasons why.
1. Like I have earlier said, that part of the current Service 168 route largely duplicates Service 21, so maybe there should be an alternative in terms of the routing.
2. Tampines Ave 4; Street 91 residents only have Service 22 (and 68 before it's withdrawal on 11 Aug 08) serving their house. They would have to go to Tampines or Bedok Reservior and transfer back to their intended route to head to a destination.
(Say that the resident wants to go to Woodlands. He/She needs to go back out to Bedok Reservior, cross the road and transfer to Service 168. What a hassle!)
3. We have students from all the three schools (served mainly by 22 and 293) who are mostly Bedok residents. There is no direct connection from that area to Bedok North Ave 3. The students there have to thus take 22 and then transfer to another Bedok-bound service. It's troublesome.What do you think?

i feel S168 needs to ply by SAFRA and Ave 5 as they serve as transfer points for people to make the switch to S168.

Why not like this?
Your suggestion make it like this:
168M:Morning Trip:Bedok Int to Tampines Ave 4(St Hildas Pri Sch)
:Evening Trip:Tampines Ave 4(Bus Stop opp St Hildas Pri Sch) to Bedok IntSo 168A will continue it's current trip.
What do all think to my suggestion?

Your suggestion is quite good, but can be improved, Maybe 180 don extend, implement a new service? I think 180 actually quite long already, based on my experience on the 180 full trip.

Amendment to CACC Services:
svcs 9 and 89 will no longer serve CACC. Instead they will terminate at Changi Village Terminal
service 19 will be withdrawn. Passengers can take service 81 to Loyang Ave to transfer to the current service 59. Alternatively, they can take service 29.
With this, there will be a new service from Changi Village to CACC, being BNDEP controlled. With this, it becomes more organised. what do u ppl think?

In my opinion, it is an excellent idea since it can help to save some buses during off peak as 9, 19, 89, 59, 109 all duplicate each other at Loyang Ave to Changi Village.
However, I am thinking of making 19 as a full day service while 9, and 89 are shortened to Changi Village. 59 can even terminate at Pasir Ris int via Pasir Ris Dr 1. In this case, transfers can be done at bus stops before Changi Village.
