  Service 915

  Reminds me of the dead TIB915T 

  West Loop of the service is already covered well by services 178 and 178A...I doubt many people will rely on that portion during the off peak periods.

  I really like the East loop of this service 915. I strongly recommend it and will be a hit.

  For the West loop, I would rather suggest the service go via Woodlands Ave 1 (and not turn into st 41) instead of Woodlands Ave 3. This way it will relieve the load on sv 912 and also provide new stops along Woodlands Ave 1 for Orange Valley Nursing Home, Blk 417/418.

  Woodlands Ave 3 already congested with many services.

  I don't like this service 68. What is the purpose of it? If it is connecting CGA to Tampines already many services. If the intention is to connect Bedok Reservoir / Kaki Bukit to CGA, why does it have to wind along all Tampines Ave to go to CGA?

  Because of Trunk 27 of double deckers are height restriction that cannot enter the airport and too heavy loading for the passangers in single decker fleets for the high demand.The fleets convert to 7 to 12 double deckers range from single decker, then, deploy the 7 to 14 single deckers range to Trunk 68 from Trunk 27 for Tampines Ave to go to CGA when the Trunk 27 is amended to Eunos instead the Changi Airport.

  This route is better but like 23ispolo's suggestion to make it turn via WDL Ave 3 after plying WDL Ave 1 to Woodlands Industrial Park rather than going all the way to the checkpoint and coming back.

  Service 106E  -For additional loading at BLK203/283 and the stop aft 283, also for BBT commuters to CBD.

  BBT INT 

  BBT AVE 3

  TOH TUCK AVE

  Commonwealth Ave West

  Commonwealth Ave 

  Express to CBD via Highway

  Loop back to BBT INT

  Skip some stops along the way

  Operating Hrs: 6:47am-8:16am

  i know that 106A hv been introduced but was still unable to cope the load near BBT INT bus stop.

  Deployments: 4 Bendies(deploy between 6:53am-7:27am), 8 SD(anytime)

  Total buses: 12 (If svc needs more buses, can still add more.)

  *Can hv crossover bus SMB134H(173) to crossover at Blk203/283 bus stop if needed.

  *If additional bus needed, deploy crossover from less demand svc. Can take 1 bus out from 189 for this svc then later put back.

  Yes you are right and it is needed for Jurong West / East commuters to CBD. Hence, it has many stops in this area.

  Peak hour have a 307A. Ply normal 307 route towards CCK St 62 and terminate at bus stop opposite LOT 1. Majority of the crowd during peak hours come from this portion of the route. Can utilise bendies also since 307A not required to do Teck Whye Lane. Can help with the load by a lot, and I think at most 4 buses are enough, 3 in service 1 rest at any one time, all 4 on 307 Split (S102-S105). Can even convert the current 740 slot (S101) also. The current MANs totally not enough...

  Ya but still got problem enter airport cause of the tight turns everywhere,if the trainers had a hard time manouver during the test and.rear tyre already went up the divider the normal BCs will find it more tougher

  If you are going to introduce a bus parallel to 190 from BPJ and then deploy high capacity buses, which will be bendies as it is SMRT area, then how is it different from just making 190 a full fleet bendy?

  Unless LTA takes the bold step of bringing in a parallel service to 190 and awards it to SBST. Then there would be healthy competition on the route to take passengers and people in this area will really benefit.

  If LTA is going to introduce route same as 190 from BPJ putting MANs on it, it is a joke as again people will be destressed w/ the standing throughout on buses.

  190 let it be with 25 bendies and 16 SDs while a new service from Bt Panjang looping at Bencoolen St via Orchard(75% 190 routes) will be better.At least theres improvement for 190 commuters,Who knows some of the SDs from the new svc will help ease the loadings?Bendy ardy a taboo for now so its better than nothing bro

  The intention is exactly to take a good chunk of the load off 190 and 700/700A.

  Express fare is to deter some passengers from using 990 for short/feeder trips that results in longer boarding/alighting times.

  Come to think of it horh...even when DTL opens, there will still be more ppl taking 190/960 etc. leh..Why? Population is increasing ma? Oo

  Idk if this is off topic anot.. but I think hougang st 21 food centre bus stop (ex-hougang south bus interchange) should be converted to an A/C road side terminal/bus stop. Better for buses 112,113,115,119. Sv 115 BC suay always have to run to shopping mall toilet or coffeeshop toilet for toilet break. As for 113, 113A can start from there, minimising U-turn time wastage. Queue berths shud also be set up. Let's see the queues how long. Same for KKKL express commuters.

  Not to say 190/960 will drop in rides... There will still be load coz as what Bus Stopping said, the DTL is only medium-capacity, not trunk line... And some idiot in the past said the load will drop... Funny fuck loh 

  That contradiction.
