Yishun Interchange
Yishun Central
Yishun Ave 4 (2 new stops)
Yishun Ring Road (1 new stop)
Yishun St 41 (1 new stop)
Yishun Ave 1
Yishun Ave 8 (1 new stop)
Yishun Ave 6 (2 stops with 850E)
Yishun Ave 1
Yishun st 41 (1 new stop)
Yishun Ring Road (1 new stop)
Yishun Ave 4
Yishun Central
Yishun Temp Interchange
* Faster MRT connection to ave 4 from Yishun (current sv 812 takes long with poor frequency)
* Connects st 41 and new hdbs along ring road
* Service made to loop around ave 8 only because new bus stops spotted. Does not make sense to have service ply ave 8 yet. No development around currently.
I tot someone mentioned feeder 807?

There have been lot of rumors in recent past... so now its getting difficult to believe...
164 from punggol to tampines
983 to bukit batok and yew tee
Lets see what the 807 route is.
-
some mentioned a feeder, some mentioned extension of 860, but what comes out may be something unexpected yet mentioned before by some *hint hint*

Lot of things mentioned before
1. 850E becoming full day service
2. 103 extended to Yishun via Seletar or have Punggol-Yishun service via Seletar
3. 859 to be extended to Yishun ring road
4. 860 extension
5. 807 feeder to ave 1/ave 4/st 41/st 51 area
So which one of these?

I just realised that, it seems that the way LTA is introducing new services now is kind of based on GCM.
If you recall, in the Bulim Package there were originally 24 services, but in Oct 2014 LTA announced 26. In the next few months before closing of tender in Jan 2015, sv 41 and 990 were introduced and sv 189 was amended (sv 201 is also related to the amendment of sv 189). It seems that LTA was trying to finalise the routes in Jurong East and Bukit Batok and shape them into what LTA wanted them to be when TT take over the operations in 2016, so as to avoid changes to the services in the package which would be unfair to the tenderers. That's why LTA was rushing to introduce so many services in Q4 2014, even though some seems unnecessary at this moment.
Similarly, Loyang Package has 3 services to be introduced. This probably means that we will see 3 new services in Pasir Ris and Punggol before the tender is closed in Aug 2015. After this, we may not see any changes until the second half of 2016.
(I wonder, is this the reason why 301 and 983 are introduced which seem somehow redundant before the flats in Keat Hong are completed? Maybe they will be in some package soon so LTA is rushing to amend/introduce the services even when it's unnecessary at this point?)

1st week of June you will know :)

CCK an BPJ under Mandai package. That one is yet to be tendered out. 301 being rolled out so soon does seem rushed.

Maybe Service 860 extend to Serangoon via service 103's route. -
Mandai depot(Lorong Lada Hitam) to CCK is quite far 12.4km but to BPJ much nearer at under 10km..To WRI is around 4km and Sembawang 4.6km

Here is the link, where it says coming soon!!!
TBH, 860A makes a lot of sense. In AM, you have lot of people who naturally prefer to go to Khatib MRT from Ring road. Also with change of location of Yishun interchange and longer walking distance to MRT, 860 loads to Khatib in AM are bursting. I observed a week back and it was +9am (so would say off AM peak), yet all buses to Khatib were going full. Opposite direction load was poor to average.

Yeah... I go to work around 7.30am also hard to get into the bus. But publictransportsg mentioning about X-ove bendy... Which bendy was it?? Prefer the new MAN bendy to serve this service rather than 804...

it would go from Yishun Int to Khatib station and return to Yishun Int skipping Ring Road on its return.

Someone at CNA fb mention that new feeder 807 and 103 extension to yishun
The article about 3 new bus stops thingy
So is it 103 that is something unexpected? Haha

Service 103 will be extended its route to Yishun via Seletar by this coming June! Not sure if they can deploy Double decks on 103 after the extension because of what some height limit around Seletar after the roundabout
