  Let's see ... Yishun - zoo can still be reached with 171 + 138, it's Woodlands that would benefit better with a link to the zoo.

  My suggestion: extend 927.

  • (current 927 route to Mandai Lake Rd)
  • Mandai Lake Rd
  • Mandai Rd
  • SLE
  • Woodlands Ave 12
  • Woodlands Ave 5
  • Woodlands Ave 2
  • Woodlands Sq

  Connects southern Woodlands to zoo and the Mandai camps. Premium 926 can be abolished. Can introduce 171Z on weekends for short-trip from Yishun to the zoo, if necessary.

  Return trip will be impossible,  hahas.

  IIRC u cant enter Mandai Rd from SLE ; which I initially wanted to sugget this way.

  927 extension is to allow passengers to reach zoo directly from Yishun.

  If anyone remembers 138's route during LKY Diversion...

  Maybe can implement that on weekends replacing 138A but express from int to zoo and back...

  Service 119 extension: Punggol - Shenton Way

  Punggol Temp Int
  (Follows original 119 route to Upp Serangoon Rd/Tampines Rd junction)
  Tampines Rd
  KPE
  Sims Way
  Sims Ave / Geylang Rd
  Kallang Rd
  Victoria St
  Bras Basah Rd / Stamford Rd
  Esplanade Dr
  Fullerton Rd
  Collyer Quay
  Raffles Quay / Robinson Rd
  Shenton Way / Anson Rd
  Palmer Rd
  Shenton Way Ter

   

  - Direct connection from Punggol and Sengkang to Bugis and CBD via KPE

  - Improves utility of 119

  - Lost connection from Kovan is more or less covered by 80, 113 and 136

  - If necessary, can have 119M looping at Suntec City in the evening and on weekends, like 70M, 107M, 162M

  Service 135 Extension (Ang Mo Kio-Eunos)

  • Marine Parade Rd 
  • Siglap Rd
  • Changi Rd
  • Jln Turi
  • Eunos Int

  Improves access to Kembangan MRT for Siglap residents which is nearest. Current routing is too skewed to Bedok MRT (via svcs 16, 31,40,196 & 197) which is more inconvenient as one has to back-track. 

  Provides connectivity between Kembangan with schools and facilities along Marine Parade Rd. Currently no direct connection apart from svc 32 which provides an infrequent and poor connection. Also, there is no connection at all from Sims Av East/Changi Rd (Between Still Rd & Frankel Av) to Marine Parade. This is a sensible connection which is very much needed. 

  Provides full-time service along the entire stretch of Siglap Rd. Chose to extend 135 because it operates a full fleet of SDs due to restrictions along Upp Aljunied Rd and will thus face no operational difficulties plying Siglap Rd.

  Service 36 Extension : Bukit Merah - Changi Airport PTB2 

  Bukit Merah Int

  Bukit Merah Central

  Jalan Bukit Merah

  Alexandra Road

  Tanglin Road (Continues original route to Changi Airport)

  Current route of 36 looping at Tomlinson will be renumbered 36M and will operate during weekends and PHs while the extended 36 will operate only on weekdays. Why extend 36? 

  -Improves connectivity between Changi Airport and Bukit Merah/Queenstown area. Benefits those working there

  -Helps to relieve some of 16's load on the well utilized Bukit Merah - Orchard sector.

  -Complements 132 between Bukit Merah and Tanglin.

  -BCs can catch a break at Bukit Merah as current route is pretty long.

  What do you guys think?

   

• Guides anyone?

  Your idea is good~

  only comment is that prob it can take Kay Siang/Margaret Dr then to BM as planned in your route to complement 122 instead

  I know but it will not work because 173 route is quite unique and if you take that away there is no alternative connection. 

  Chestnut - Bukit Batok is not important, but Chestnut - Hillview is... and Hillview - Bukit Batok is because you have only 173 and 176. 177 is only during peak hours. 

  Thinking about it, there was another reason why I chose to split 173, and that was to link the Hume (and Chestnut) estates with Hillview MRT and Bt Panjang. This link would be utilised better than the current one from Hume to Bt Batok. (I wouldn't want to touch the longer trunks, i.e. 75, 171, 184, 961, just for these short sectors.)

  Considering the demand for Hume and Chestnut is generally low, while that for BB East Ave 4, Hillview Ave and Yew Tee is moderately high, it makes sense to operate the services separately for these two sections, with different bus intervals. 

  Thus we have:

  • 173 (Clementi ... Hume Ave, Hillview MRT, Chestnut Ave, Petir Rd, loop around BPJ MRT)
  • 987 (Bt Batok ... /current 173 route/ ... Jln Batu Nilam, Hillview Rd, UBT Rd, Woodlands Rd, KJE, CCK Dr ... loop around CCK Cres)
  • 177 left untouched

  or, alternatively:

  • 173 (Clementi ... BPJ MRT, same as above)
  • 177 (Bt Batok ... Hillview Rd, UBT Rd ... loop around CCK Cres), off-peak only
  • 177A (= current peak-hour 177 via MINDEF), peak only
  • 177B (BPJ MRT ... loop around CCK Cres), peak only
  • 991 (Same as your 977, but follows current 173 route up till Hillview Ave. May go via either Hillview Rd or Hume Ave / Rail Mall).

  Are these just night-time short trips? Or are they going to run concurrently with the main services during the day? Either way, I don't quite understand the purpose of these routes, please enlighten
