Bus Terminal, Interchanges & Depots
-
imagine...
you want to discuss on one bus interchange, then all of a sudden some one else keep bombard the thread with other bus interchanges. in the end, there is never really a discussion about the bus interchange you want to discuss.
this will happen. in fact, it already has. just look at page 11. people were discussing about Jurong East, Woodlands and Changi bus interchanges/terminal, and about interchange vs terminal. but the discussions were interrupted.
if we go on like this, soon, we will start to realise how come we keep discussing the same thing, and we get irritated with new users asking questions which have already been answered.
I mean, just look at the other forum. after all, isn't this thread a copy of the thread "Bus Interchanges and ITHs" at the other forum?
Actually, how can we compare this forum with that other forum? We are (were) much more active in discussing buses than they are. They can make do with that because anyway there is not much discussion about buses. In this forum, with so much discussion about buses everyday, discussions will jam up if we have such a thread (ie. this thread).
please understand that this has an impact on the quality of discussions on SGforums bus forum, and the attractiveness of the forum.

Okay. Enough of going off-topic.
Changi Business Park Bus Terminal (CB park bus terminal) opens today, with new bus services 47 and 118.
If you have tried any of the two new bus services, or both new bus services, do tell us how you feel about them.
If you have visited the new Changi Business Park Bus Terminal, do share with us your experience and observations there.
Thank you.

back to topic.
i dun think changi biz park ter is create only for 2 serv. got capacity for 12 parking. so can have 5 serv easy.
47 connect tanah merah - bedok south - marine parade
118 connect tampines west - punggol
20 no originate here but connect cbp to simei - tampines south - tampines mrt
i feel future 20 will start here in few month to reduce parking issue at tamp int
new service in future as many say here can be to bedok north - eunos - hougang or serangoon.

If they wanted bus service 20 to start at the new Changi Business Park Bus Terminal, they would have already done so.

Are you sure it's a good idea to retain 182's Tuas South section, AND extend it all the way to Jurong East / Bt Batok? Doesn't seem wise for a looping service. It will bunch.
Regarding 192/193/254 ... how about letting 192 and 254 swap routes between Benoi Rd and Tuas Rd? Such that 254 serves Jln Ahmad Ibrahim and the whole of Tuas Rd, and 192 does express along Pioneer Rd before crossing into Tuas Rd and Ave 3. In this way, all roads in between now get links to Gul Circle MRT station.
Also I'm still sticking forth to swapping 192 and 254 at Tuas West Rd. The other Tuas South service (259) can do Tuas Ave 11.
EDIT: I made some derivations to the routes based on your (jurongresident's) map, and my version is here (using colour scheme from Joo Koon Int flyers & posters):
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zEEpmI3uw7s8.kTfxSyHlmlJU&usp=sharing
Mainly involves route swaps between 182 & 256 (extension to Bt Batok tentative), and 192 & 254. Slight modification to your 259.
Sadly your 192 does not link to Gul Circle MRT.

does it have to connect to Gul Circle MRT Station, when it already connects to Pioneer MRT Station?

Tuas Bus Terminal
Hi. Does anyone know how is the progress of the new Tuas Bus Terminal?
By the way, is it called "Tuas Bus Terminal" or "Tuas Bus Interchange" ah?
there was once I searched for the term "bus interchange" on OneMap.sg search engine. There was only one result. "3 TUAS WEST DRIVE Singapore 638419". As it turns out, the new Tuas Bus "Terminal" could actually be a bus interchange instead...

Wait until you see 80% of pax on 192 alighting at Joo Koon even though 192 doesn't stop at Joo Koon MRT
directly.

Marina Centre Bus Terminal
How's the situation there?
Is there a new parking area for SMRT bus services, or are SMRT bus services still parked along the road?
-
but, of course, it is not possible or wise to have so many threads on bus interchanges, terminals and depots.
which is why, I recommend that, for discussions on bus interchanges, terminals and depots, we have both a miscellaneous thread and dedicated threads.
miscellaneous thread - for petty discussions on any random bus interchange/terminal/depot.
dedicated threads - for discussions on a particular new bus interchange/terminal/depot when it is about to open (eg. from around one month to one day before opening, to the time when it just opened).
-
Changi Business Park got 12 lots..118 have their meal breaks there..so 1 service is allocated to 3 parking lots..You do the math how many svc can this terminal accomodate.Tampines will get extended so no need worry about svc 20.In future there is plan for Tampines North ITH too.

This thread is not even filling up...if you want to waste forum space, no one will stop you. But I advise you to think whether so many threads can be sustainable with at least 1000 posts in each of them.

So, you just want the numbers eh?
If you do not mind the quality become worse, so be it.

I have seen before the almost every passenger on bus 192 (towards Boon Lay) alight at the bus stop at Fairprice Hub. However, that was before the route amendments were implemented. Now with bus 192 being amended to ply along Upper Jurong Road and call at Pioneer MRT Station, I am not sure if most of the passengers still alight at the bus stop at Fairprice Hub, or have they changed to alight at Pioneer MRT Station bus stop.

Are you sure one bus service has three (end-on) parking lots? If I am not wrong, over at the other bus interchanges with end-on berths, one bus service has only two (end-on) parking lots.
Well, with twelve parking lots, this means Changi Business Park Bus Terminal has the capacity for four to six bus services. Four if each bus service has three parking lots. Six if each bus service has two parking lots.

What if I tell you my observation was done less than a week ago?If you still don't trust me, go there see yourself.

Yes. I am at CBP just now, a paper with A service number is pasted beside the berth number from the driver's view for those berths occupied. In this case service 47 uses B4 to B6 while 118 uses B7 to B9.

Before you shoot do some survey first,Its just a terminal not an ITH or Interchange.All short and medium haul svc so they gonna need 3 lots.
