I don't think there are many DDs deployed today. So if you wait only for 45 mins you have to be lucky to catch one. Try tomorrow - there should be 3 or 4 DDs deployed.

So far we have seen 61,67,106,169,176,187,188,190,700,850E,951E,960,963,964,965,966 & 969.What we hope is that 167,172,180,184,851,854,857 will get too

176 got DDs... yet sv 145 has not got any...
145 needs DDs even more than sv 66. Not to say sv 66 does not need. Both need.

145 could have gotten it long time ago but was neglected

There is a new HDB development (Costa Ris). Yeah, I know the HDB development is near to Pasir Ris MRT Station, but seriously, the walking distance to the furthest block (blk 526A) in the development is at least around six hundred metres!
Personally, I feel that although the BTO development is located next to MRT track and a flyover, it is so out of place. Seriously, I do not know why is that plot of land used for housing when it's so inaccessible to traffic.
The nearest bus stop, #77341, is already around three hundred metres to the furthest block (blk 526A). If I remember correctly, LTA mentioned before that one of its objectives is to ensure there is a bus stop accessible within 100/200m. I know, it is quite hard to create a bus stop within 100/200m walking distance from the developments there.
Possible solution: LTA take over some land from MOE, and extend Pasir Ris Street 51, with a roundabout near blk 526A. It should not be much an issue, since according to the street view at Google Maps, that some land I mentioned is not even used by the school. At most just take away a little bit of the school field to build road.
Not only will it allow provision for bus services, it will also enable cars, trucks, vans, etc. to drive through, thus make that new HDB development more accessible to traffic.
Anyway, with new housing developments being developed around Pasir Ris Bus Interchange, I forsee at least one new feeder bus route coming:
- Pasir Ris Bus Interchange
- Pasir Ris Drive 3
- Pasir Ris Central (Pasir Ris Street 53 side)
- Pasir Ris Street 51
- Pasir Ris Street 51
- Pasir Ris Central (Pasir Ris Street 53 side)
- Pasir Ris Drive 3
- Pasir Ris Bus Interchange
a relatively short feeder bus route of only around 2km, but it may be necessarily to have it as more new housing is developed there.eventually, there may be a need to break up into half feeder route 359 and re-route each half to better serve the residential areas at Pasir Ris.In addition, according to the master plan, the land next to the MRT track is also not all designated for school. Apparently, the land use plan has not been fixed yet. So why not extend Pasir Ris Street 51 and have a roundabout near blk 526A?In my opinion, I feel that that plot of land where the BTO development "Costa Ris" stands is better for landed houses. It can have it's own internal network and complement well to the lack of public roads connecting to it.But then, since the BTO development is already there, I would suggest that the authorities should consider extending Pasir Ris Street 51 to make that BTO development more accessible. -

Also this is much better than many other areas like in Yew Tee, where blocks near cck way are very far from nearest bus stop of 302 and yet mrt also not close. Similarly, many more such examples.
One solution could be to build a stop along PSR Dr 8 for sv 15 but I don't know with the exit to TPE how that will work out.
