If both 301 and 983 are amended, I would agree with your 983, but would extend 301 as such:

You know right there was a big chaos on route 300/301 and it had to be redesigned to meet needs of ave 5 / ave 2 connection. Hence, your suggestion of 301 is not possible.
Need a new feeder 305 that can just do ave 7 / cck grove in Q3/Q4 2016.
983 is too winding to BPJ MRT... I think it will do ave 6 / 1 and directly via CCK Way / CCK road to BPJ MRT.
Other option could be ave 6 / Brickland Road / BBT Road / CCK Road... but I think via ave 1 has higher possibility.
Since 300 unable to be re-routed...Scared residents complain... Svc 301 can extend...

Originally posted by jurongresident:Well, at least bus service 191 calls at the pair of bus stop beside Buona Vista MRT Station. However, I feel that it quite a distance away, especially from the East West Line.
I think we should extend it to connect to Dover MRT Station for better accessibility to the bus service.
We can extend it originate at Clementi Bus Interchange, or Kent Ridge Bus Terminal. But to avoid duplications, I think it is better to extend it to originate at Kent Ridge Bus Terminal, cuz anyway it seems that there is currently no bus connection between Dover MRT Station and Kent Ridge Bus Terminal.
There's no other way for 191 to call at bus stops closer to EWL Buona Vista. In fact, the current bus stop already has the shortest distance to EWL compared to other bus stops in this region. You need to realise the only EWL exit is at North Buona Vista Road.
Suggestion for modification of route 386
Punggol Interchange >> Punggol Central >> Edgefield Plains end >> Punggol Dr >> Edgedale Plains end >> Punggol Field >> Punggol East >> Punggol Central >> Edgedale Plains end >> Punggol Dr >> Edgefield Plains end >> Punggol Central >> Punggol Interchange.
* No major change apart from serving an extra pair of bus stops for Waterway Sundew (better than having an altogether new route for this HDB block, as it will still make sense to connect it to Punggol Plaza like Edgefield Plains end is connected.

Isn't there like a pair of bus stop outside the EWL station of Buona Vista, along Commonwealth Avenue West? But how to go there, I don't know.
Indeed, the route is seamless from the EWL platform to the bus stop at North Buona Vista Road. However, the walking distance is long.

Hi mr jurongresident, bus stop is at commonwealth avenue. Walk across short road and reach there. Not too far. But a bit troublesome. I stayed there previously so I know. Cheers. Thanks.

1 pair of bus stops along North Buona Vista Rd skipped, in favour of 5 pairs of stops in Biopolis / one-north. Those working at Science Park can opt to transfer at one-north MRT station instead.Amending 74 / extending 122 (to ARBP) could have been alternative suggestions, but I'm not sure if it will cause significant delays downroute, or if the route is DD friendly. 92M is unaffected.
Amending 92 will cause an increase in travelling time from Science Park to Buona Vista MRT. Most of the commuters still use EWL I think...
Originally posted by array88:Service 61: Shortened to Lor 1 Geylang TerService 40: Extended from MacPherson to Eunos via 61's original route(Map only shows the amended part)- Shorten 61 to make it more reliable and less winding- Alternative service 63 from Ubi/MacPherson to Bugis/Chinatown- Additional service to Upp Boon Keng Rd besides 140/175- 40 extension maintains 61's link from Eunos MRT to Ubi Ave 2Cons:- Loss of connection to MacPherson Rd- Loss of connection to HarbourFront- Those at Geylang Bahru need to walk to Kallang Bahru to take 61- Loss of direct connection from Aljunied MRT to the entire MacPherson estate
Agree 61 should break into 2 services.
This is my suggestion:
Bukit Batok Interchange <> Marina Center Terminal
* same route until Chinatown, after which turn right (970 route) and then go left to Fullerton, Suntec City, Marina Center Teminal.
New service 71
Shenton Way Terminal <> Eunos Interchange
* Shenton Way, Maxwell Road (no service today), Kreta Ayer, Chinatown... and continues on existing sv 61 route
=> Will improve reliability of sv 61 and deployment of HC buses for the peak period.
=> No major inconvenience to pax, as have 166 in parallel to cover the route from Alexandra Road to Victoria St
Service 155: Amended to Lor 2 Toa Payoh, skipping Lor 4
Splitting of sv 67 / 961
961: Woodlands Regional Interchange <> Beauty World (loop)
67: CCK Interchange <> Marina Center Terminal
* will follow 961 route from Dunearn Rd >> Ferrar Rd >> Queensway >> Jalan Bukit Merah >> sv 961 route but terminate at Marina Center instead of Lor 1 (due to route duplication)
980: diverted via Kallang Industrial Estate to cover missing link of sv 961
68: Tampines Interchange <> Rochor Canal Rd (loop)

Frankly I don't feel there is a need to introduce a brand new service just to serve those areas, given an abundance of services at Buona Vista. 92 is almost the only service capable of making this diversion. 200 may be possible if its frequency is boosted. I wouldn't dare to touch 74, 196 or 198.
If we're considering an extension (to ARBP), then it's another story altogether. Perhaps 185?
Visited the Bulim Bus Depot today. This was the route of the shuttle bus.
I feel that this is a good route. If implemented as a bus service, it could provide bus connection for the people working at Bulim Avenue, as well as enhance the intra-town bus connection within Jurong West extension town.
Bulim depot to Boon Lay 12.3km?Are u sure?Budep to Boon Lay MRT only 2.4km in one direction..
71 (Jurong East - Gombak Dr loop)
Assuming Gombak Dr is opened once DTL 2 is fully opened.
Jurong Gateway Rd > Jurong East Ctrl > Boon Lay Way > Jurong Town Hall Rd > Bukit Batok Rd > Bukit Batok West Av 8 > Bukit Batok West Av 6 > Bukit Batok St 21 > Bukit Batok East Av 4 > Bukit Batok East Av 2 > Bukit Batok East Av 6 > Jln Jurong Kechil > Upp Bukit Timah Rd > Dairy Farm Rd > Petir Rd > Cashew Rd > Upp Bukit Timah Rd > Gombak Dr (Loop)
- Provides the above Bukit Batok areas with direct connections to the burgeoning Jurong East area without having to transfer at Bukit Batok and DTL 2 at Beauty World MRT. This will supplement 66, 173, 985 and 990 by serving parts of Bt Batok that these routes do not serve. A secondary objective would be to better link these areas to amenities along Upp Bukit Timah such as Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Rail Mall, etc (not important though)
- Connects condominiums at Dairy Farm Rd and HDB blocks along Petir Rd that are a distance from Pending LRT with Cashew/Hillview MRT stations. Also connects these areas with amenities in Bukit Timah/Clementi Rd such as Bukit Timah Plaza, Ngee Ann Poly, SIM etc by enabling bus transfers along Upp Bukit Timah Rd. There will also be a direct connection to Jurong East albeit a bit winding, but this would be a secondary objective.

Too long winded. I'd rather extend 41.
While I do agree that southern Bt Batok can have better links to Bt Panjang, the stops which your route serve are still in close proximity to 176 / 178, which can be easy alternatives to both Jurong East and Bt Panjang. BB East Ave 6 (east side) has 963 within walking distance to BPJ.
As for the other areas, I refer back to my old suggestion on splitting 173, with some amendments:
========
========
Service 173: Clementi Int to Petir Rd (Loop)
To terminate at Bt Panjang when ITH is completed.
Service 425: Bt Batok Int to Cashew MRT Stn (Loop)
To cover lost sections of 173, as well as providing links from Chestnut estate to both Cashew & Hillview MRT stations.
(Service number is tentative, in the event that Tower Transit decides to designate any new trunk services as 4xx. 173 will be returned to SMRT.)
========
========
Most former 173 links are well covered: Hillview - Clementi by 963, Hillview - Beauty World by 970, Bt Batok - UBT Rd (Rail Mall) by 178, Bt Batok - Toh Tuck by 77, and so on. Separating this service allow the two sections to be more direct and more useful services (as compared to the current loopback that the 173 route exhibits).
425 provides MRT link to/from Chestnut as such: Hillview MRT --> Chestnut Dr/Ave --> Cashew MRT, and provides link to Bt Batok. Amended 173 connects Chestnut to Bt Panjang, Beauty World and Clementi.
Come to think about it, there is no direct bus to the Caldecott Broadcast Centre (Mediacorp).
As such, I would like to suggest a new bus service that loops around it.
Length = 8.23 km
Travel Time = 16 mins
As it is only 8.23km, it can be categorized as a feeder and provide feeder bus connection for the people staying in the Caldecott Hill landed properties - besides providing the direct bus connection for the people working at Mediacorp and the people going to the Mediacorp Theatre to watch show (eg. Star Awards, 黄金年�, etcetera.).

Dude. Medicorp is moving from Caldecott to Mediapolis (Portsdown). Unless you wanna serve the rich, ultra rich and ultra ultra rich residents at Caldecott area with a 44 seater feeder bus service.
