Maybe they are deciding between 50 and 136 at that time and choose 136 in the end. Note that there are currently only 24 services and still short of 1 which is rumoured to be the new sbs 68 from pasir ris int to Tampines ave 4 loop. Cheers. Thanks.
They can always choose svc 29 instead.Changi V loop at Tampines Int..Can freed up at least 1 parking lot.
Likewise for Bulim they shouldnt touch 96 and Clementi feeders since there is Ulu Pandan Depot.They can take svc 172,178,180 and 187 instead from Boon Lay.Can relieve SMRT misery too.

Hi mr carbikebus, unlikely. Logic is reversed. Sbs 29 demand is the other way round. Frequency needs to be maintained. Reversing it may cause scheduling mess and end up irk Tampines residents. Cheers. Thanks.

Nope,They can always adjust and change the schedule to meet the demand.Its just the other way round unlike 925C where the T1 is at Woodlands.In future svc like 3 and 136 T1 will be at Punggol instead of Tampines and Ang Mo Kio respectively.The logic is reversed also mah.Svc like 66 and 143 which current T1 at Bedok and Toa Payoh respectively will be changed to Jurong East in tandem with the operator takeover.

It's now called YCK Interchange... All the service guides have been updated since a few years ago
44 (Upp East Coast Rd <> Joo Chiat Rd)
Upp East Coast Rd > Bedok South Av 3 > New Upp Changi Rd > Bedok North Av 3 > Bedok North Rd > Bedok North Av 1 > Chai Chee St > Chai Chee Dr > Changi Rd > Joo Chiat Rd > East Coast Rd > Amber Rd > Marine Parade Rd > Joo Chiat Rd > Dunman Rd > Haig Rd > Tanjong Katong Rd > Sims Av > Sims Av East > (Return via same route to Upp East Cost Terminal)
1. New connection between Bedok South Av 3 and Bedok North Rd, and provides an alternative to 506 to New Upp Changi Rd/Bedok North Av 3
2. New connection between Bedok North/Chai Chee to Geylang Serai/Katong/Parkway Parade
3. New connection between Geylang Serai and Parkway Parade/Katong
4. Loops in the opposite direction of 47

How about new bus service from BoonLay looping at Japanese/Chinese Gdn Rd via Yuan Ching Rd?

I believe there was a similar route to Chinese Gdn and Japanese Gdn long time ago but it was withdrawn.

Old service 406..This one tweak a bit of routings.
I would suggest 78 to terminate at Clementi Int instead of looping at Clementi, there was once I went to Tg Penjuru for internship (in Apr 2015) for 1 week and 78's frequency combined with the massive jam at Clementi MRT caused crazy bunching in both directions around 5:30pm-6:30pm on weekdays, 3 78 DDs are plied back to back at Tg Penjuru in the direction towards JE Int due to the jam at Clementi and the frequency can be quite long as well due to the bunching.

Clementi no more space for new service la dey.

Fear of number 4 lah.
There is no 44, 144, 244, 344, 844, 944.
There is Premium 544 though.

Fear for what?Svc 4 buses got topple before and kill passenger is it?Svc 700 accident also dont have number 4 even for its rego plate.Dont be ridiculous la.

Then again, it may be possible to extend some services to make space. 173 can be extended to loop at Clementi Ave 3 (or even Ave 1) -- given it's already a looping service. 175 can be extended to start from BBDEP. At worst, there's still Kent Ridge.

Extending 175 does seem like a good idea, so that those commuters going to West Coast from Clementi MRT can just wait at Commonwealth Ave West bus stop for 175/201, instead of choosing between 175 at interchange and 201 at MRT.
Only drawback I can foresee is the loss of connection from Ave 3 (NTUC FairPrice bus stop) to West Coast.
Amending more bus services to existing bus depots isn't exactly a good idea with the implementation of GCM, as the bus depot (excluding Bulim/Loyang) may not be carried forward to another operator. It is not even known if BBDEP will be retained for GCM with the LTA building so many bus depots to replace the existing ones.
In fact I'm wondering whether bus services terminating in SBST AMDEP (45/265/268) may fall under Sg Seletar Package, which could potentially impact their terminating points even if SBST wins the package.

78 bunching common. In fact between 5.00pm-5.30pm, buses depart Clementi Interchange at 05 mins interval to pick up the peak hour 5.30-6pm crowd along Tanjong Penjuru to Jurong East. Back to back DDs can get full during this time. At other times like all industrial estates, loading remains mediocre.

People usually prefer 201 to 175. 201 frequency is 10-14 mins while sv 175 frequency can be 15-18 mins depending on time.
sv 144: Toa Payoh Interchange <> Jalan Tenteram (loop)
Toa Payoh Interchange >> PIE (Trellis Towers) >> Balestier Road >> Ah Hood Road >> Jalan Rajah >> Whompoa Road >> Jalan Bahagia >> Jalan Tenteram (looping point) and back to interchange.
Deployment: 2 SDs, 2 DDs (just like 143M).
Withdraw 139M. Service 139 continues to operate on current route.

173 already a loop service,76 medium haul trunk got shortened you expect long haul service like 175 to get extended?Unless there is a sub terminal plan by LTA if not they stay as where theyre.
Bus service 68 (Bukit Batok Interchange – Bulim Drive – Bukit Batok Interchange)
This bus services plies Bukit Batok Central, Bukit Batok Avenue 1, Jurong East Central, Jurong East Avenue 1, Jurong Town Hall Road, Boon Lay Way, Jalan Boon Lay, Jurong West Avenue 2, Bulim Avenue, Bulim Drive. It loops at Bulim Drive and returns in the opposite direction of the same route it took to get here.
The route is around nineteen kilometres in length and it takes approximately thirty minutes to one hour to complete.
This is a beautiful bus service which benefits people from all walks of life.
- The adults working in the Bulim Industrial Estate can use it to connect to the MRT at Lakeside, Chinese Garden and Bukit Batok stations.
- The elderly can use it to get to the Saint Joseph’s Home.
- The children can use it to get to Corporation Primary School, River Valley High School, Boon Lay Garden Primary School, Canadian International School, Shuqun Secondary School or Crest Secondary School.
- People in the North will also be able to enter the Jurong region directly via this bus service, without having to interchange at the heavily-used Jurong East MRT Station.
you know, as a resident living in the North, I rather still take the MRT to JR as I dont need to pay twice. In addition, I prefer taking 990 as it goes to Jurong as well, although this route complements 187
