New Bus Services in Punggol21
-
LTA is currently building 2 additional flyovers over the TPE. One links Sengkang East Rd and Punggol Way, the other one is a bridge linking Sengkang East Drive and Punggol East but with no access to and from the TPE.Originally posted by tiggersgd:ya...gd news for punggol residents....but i can't help but think that the roads need to be widened if the traffic is to be smooth. right now, seems abit bad esp at the only flyover between sengkang and punggol. the other near edgedale plains is still under construction. i suggest the authorities look into more exits and entry to punggol/sengkang. make punggol seems like and isolated "island town" with limited exits/entry.

Yes, it's the mini-terminal mentioned above. I have a suspicion Sv. 82 will be cut to terminate there, and a new feeder service implemented, like what I said above. The feeder service will utilize only one bus(obviously the distance from Punggol MRT to Punggol Rd End isn't that long, and headways can be made longer).
-
Does the terminal exists now? The terminal you are referring to is where service 136 make a loop, right?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Yes, it's the mini-terminal mentioned above.

Service 153 to extends to punggol and also route stay intact. 153 will call at SK central also
Service 373 is the punggol shuttle to punggol point as mentiones by darryl in many posts / Service 82 to end at this int

Yes I think so, Sv. 136 loops outside Punggol MRT station, doesn't it?Originally posted by tranquilice:Does the terminal exists now? The terminal you are referring to is where service 136 make a loop, right? -
Ok, from this friday, 20 June 2003, both services 83 and 136 will make a loop outside Punggol MRT station. The "proposed" terminal beside/near the station is not ready yet, right?

I mentioned in another post that the feeder service to Punggol point is not needed, as the LRT will serve 17th, 24th Ave and near Punggol point next year.Originally posted by xin1jun2:Service 373 is the punggol shuttle to punggol point as mentiones by darryl in many posts / Service 82 to end at this int -
The feeder service will be needed temporarily as there will be a timeframe before the Punggol LRT line is opened. Punggol Point area is not heavily populated, a bus will do fine before LRT opens.

indeed this so called service 373 by me will be needed. i will bet that the punggol LRT will be delayed like the NEL.

Other updates:
The Punggol LRT East loop may starts operation next year, while the West loop will operate at a later date, as the loop is currently surronded by vacant lands. Also, the branch line to the North-East of Punggol will be built later.
A Punggol - Woodlands MRT line may be built in 4 years time and if becomes a reality, will starts operation as early as 2012. -
I see no point for a Punggol - Woodlands line, Sv. 161 and Sv. 965 already cover that route perfectly fine, however the nearest point is still Sengkang and passengers would have to transfer to a bus to get there.Originally posted by tranquilice:Other updates:

The Punggol LRT West Loop will start later, as I predicted, and like what I said earlier, Sv. 82 will be cut to the currently under-construction Punggol temporary bus terminal when it opens and a new feeder service, possibly 373 be implemented to operate to Punggol Pt. -
Well Darryl, you are wrong here. As the govt announced, railway transportation will be the backbone of the public transport in Singapore. If the line become reality, svcs 161 and 965, possibly svc 168 will be affected. That's why I say the MRT is snatching business from buses.Originally posted by SBS9818A:I see no point for a Punggol - Woodlands line, Sv. 161 and Sv. 965 already cover that route perfectly fine, however the nearest point is still Sengkang and passengers would have to transfer to a bus to get there.

Ugh. I just hate getting on the MRT.Originally posted by off_service:Well Darryl, you are wrong here.

Wait a minute!!! Are u trying to 'forfeit' Jln Kayu Bus Terminal? If that's the case, that's pretty bad as some of the NS-men use this svc to get in and out of the camp.Originally posted by xin1jun2:i think beofre the int opens i will shoot a few suggestions to SBSt regarding...

Perhaps all services at Jln Kayu will be integrated with those at Sengkang OR Punggol.Originally posted by SBS9816E:Wait a minute!!! Are u trying to 'forfeit' Jln Kayu Bus Terminal? If that's the case, that's pretty bad as some of the NS-men use this svc to get in and out of the camp. -
I do think so. Seletar airport and Seletar camp may be closed to make way for new developments as the Woodlands - Punggol MRT line will run thru the area. Also, a lot of SAF units have already shifted out of Seletar camp.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Perhaps all services at Jln Kayu will be integrated with those at Sengkang OR Punggol.
When the camp and airport is fully closed, then services 378 and 379 will be withdrawn, and service 103 may be extended to Punggol or Sengkang. -
I was onboard a NEL train a few days back and a CSO (wearing light green uniform and black pant) onboard the train told me about the Woodlands - Punggol MRT line.Originally posted by off_service:Well Darryl, you are wrong here.

The airport WILL NOT be closed. Sv. 378 and Sv. 379 will remain but be extended together with Sv. 103 if Jln Kayu Terminal is closed.Originally posted by tranquilice:I do think so.
