not possible due to road issues -
should amend this way.
ave 3 clementi int
ave 3 ntuc
ave 2
ave 5
ave 4 (loop)
ave 5
ave 2
cwealth ave west clementi stn
ave 3 clementi intcurrent 284m ppl stop nearer empty handed while loaded with groceries and stuff and walking further when heading home. what logic.

Like this, Sv 282 can just skip and serve West St 2 directly liao unless they want to keep e neighbourhood connection
-
the route is this
Int > Ave 4 (Loop) > NTUC > MRT > Int -

not possible cos of 3 reasons1) Bus stop is too near to e junction for buses to filter right esp since traffic vol is high
2) Clementi Ave 3's 'island junction' has only 1 lane for traffic towards Ave 4, hence it would face difficulty in turning if there's vehicles in e 'island'
3) The turning might impede smooth traffic flow

townlink 282?

sorry, i shldnt say "T" plate at the the 1st place. It's something like for eg svc 60 with putting red or white plate since plies at Bedok reservoir 2 times (the "C" road) -

Passengers are allowed not to alight at the int. Terminating trips just put the T-plate as mentioned.
Think the BC also happier no need every trip go up and down the bus

Clementi Ave 3 -> Clementi Ave 2 -> Clementi Ave 5 -> Clementi Ave 4

284M route is a bit funny, it will mean that residents there will take longer time to reach Clementi Int/MRT station, though benefit those going to NTUC. It's like so near yet so far.
Cheers.

As mentioned, start from NTUC, go into Int[solve the traffic issue] Ave 4, NTUC again
Makes more sense for shoppers to board to return to Ave 4,if nt sv284M is a joke... -

Cheers.

I suggested an improvement to the route:
Service 284M suggested route
Interchange
Ave 4 - Blk 315/318 > Blk 308 > Blk 376
Ave 3 - opp interchange* > NTUC Fairprice
Ave 2 - Blk 334
Ave 5 - Blk 335
Ave 4 - Blk 315/318 > Blk 308 > Blk 376
Interchange
* New bus stop
Plates display at the front windscreen to inform passengers along Ave 4 where the bus is heading to.

those who lazy to walk or elderly people will take the bus. But SBST is quite clever of doing this move to introduce Sv 284M.

They inverted the routes alr. 284 should ply MRT while 284M should not. This is to cater those ppl working to serve them to the MRT to take MRT to work, since bus is so boring to some people, esp premium svcs
