mainly for mealbreak periods when sv30, sv154 and sv157 need 3 bays, these buses can park there.
by right, notwithstanding the alternate trunk and feeder/JIS sequence, the services with heavier vehicular movements will occupy the innermost end-on berths to minimise the chance of buses from services near the exit from blocking the exit itself...

Eh, thinking about what I've said just now, I actually went by the back alley, the place where you can see the glass panel of McDonalds. If your camera lense is around 24mm, it will be able to fit through the fence and you can have a fun time snapping pictures.
I also went there to see...

yes , very true...
but anyway , it is really gonna be messed up , imagine the 179/199/241/242/243/255 x-overs ... that is the big thing ...
from old int to new int , vice versa , what if the bc turns into the wrong int ? , etc . HAHA ! , what a hassle ! .........
really really ......... haiz....

I got a feeling end up ppl might purposely wait for 179 or 199 during AM peak towards BNL. The JP2 one gotta walk further to MRT stn if one were to take like 172, 241

Pity the Sv 174, Sv 154, Sv 157 & Sv 30 BC driving leylands when the new BNL int arrives. They all will have to steer like mad when turning into the interchange & reverse turning out of the sawtooth.
Why they need to steer like mad ?
isnt it the same at other interchanges ? -

hopefully wun end up like Dubai, thoughts of making quick profit destroy the whole place. End up either way, e citizens are foresaken.The crossover driving thing has to become a norm lor

If u look at my post earlier on, I was referring to the sawtooth. I knw it is wide, but don't forget that the entrance is a 2 way in & out (obvious). So when u think of it, it's more like a 90 degree turning in, not as bad as the Toa Payoh one. Almost 180 degree turning in.
LO3x drivers will dieno power steering, gotta lock e heavy steering wheel

Sv 179 & 199 BCs indicated that the NTU svs would only move in March. But one believe it might not even occur with the small bus interchange area

For those who are nostalgic....
Here is the layout of the old Boon Lay Interchange (dated 2002). Notice how the SMRT services were left out.

I believes that at the beginning the interchange they have taken consideration on the Boon Lay MRT extension and Joo Koon Terminal and thus the smaller size since there will be less services in Boon Lay Int should Joo Koon Terminal is opened and Jurong Industrial Area/Tuas rationalisation is being carried out.
IMO the main mistake they make is failure to carry out Jurong industrial Area/Tuas rationalisation and the opening of Joo Koon Terminal on time. Especially when it have been almost 10 months since the opening of BLE and till now still no signs for Joo koon Term. -

The problem is, eventually they project Jurong West alone to have 92,000 units vs 69,000 right now (The remaining would mostly come from the part where 181 & 185 currently serves). Surely more buses would be needed too. Buses if to think of it, they're evergreen. Another issue to factor in is NTU's loadNeither can Joo Koon stabilise everything, no matter how nice e names goes w/ integrated bus hub it's still a small bus stop boarding point. It's not going to be possible to crashload it either.
As for the LTA cramping everything, it's not true. They sold the land to private developers, so you sure LTA has a say in how much space should be allocated for the interchange? The land belongs to the private developer alrdy.
To them, rental receipt profit comes 1st. Bus Int wun generate revenue for them although many dun see tis point - if public tpt facilities are good, more ppl would come compared to the developer restricting themselves based on the car park space
