Originally posted by BusAnalayzer:The routing of 120/121/122 has been rubbish. Whoever did these routes did a very bad job. I agree there should be connection between Telok Blangah Heights to Tiong Bahru and this could be achieved by better routing of 120.
ideally 120 route should have been:
HarbourFront -- Telok Blangah Road -- Telok Blangah Dr/Heights -- Henderson road -- Telok Blangah Way -- Lower Delta road -- Jalan Bukit Merah -- Kim Tian road -- Tiong Bahru MRT -- Lower Delta road -- Alexandra Road -- Tanglin road -- Kay Siang road -- Margaret Dr -- Queenstown MRT -- Dawson road -- Kay Siang road & back.
1 service would cover 120-121-122. It will be high loading servixe that can be operated at 07-10 mins interval. It would also connect Dawson that has been ignored. 124 in turn could be extended to Bukit Merah Inteechange via Telok Blangah Heights.
The routing of 120, 121 and 122 are as such because the bus network at Bukit Merah area is already well established. (After all, that area is right outside the city centre.) The new routes are configured to create new bus connections, while limit the duplication of resources.
Originally posted by gekpohboy:An upgrade of capacity, from single decker buses to double decker buses, should be sufficient, since most of the above-mentioned bus routes use only single decker buses at the moment. No need for new bus route.
Hi mr gekpohboy, change SD to DD no use. What is needed is a new bus service with direct telok blangah heights to tiong Bahru mrt connection. Cheers. Thanks.
Originally posted by TIB 585L:Actually they can reroute 124
Instead of turning right to Lower Delta from Telok Blangah Way, 124 cn turn left instead go to Tiong Bahru Road, turn right, Go all the way to Outram MRT and then turn left at Eu Tong Sen St to go to St Mike’s.
Fair enough, but what about the St Theresa's portion?

Or simply reroute 120 to make it skip Lower Delta Rd and head straight to Tiong Bahru MRT, follow 121 into Kim Tian Road then left into Jalan Bukit Merah. However, some Jalan Bukit Merah residents may have to lose their direct connection to Redhill MRT while others (those staying near Silat Road) will have a new connection to Tiong Bahru MRT. However, I still doubt that many Telok Blangah Heights/Dr residents may want to take 120 until Tiong Bahru MRT due its windy route like I've said before, and Tiong Bahru Road is also getting a bit too packed ever since the addition of 121/122/123M.

Your suggestion on 120 is similar to what I had proposed.

Or maybe no Lor Halus but Gali Batu depot instead..Those two can only park 295(KJDEP) and 315(WLDEP)..No point keeping them since CCK-BPJ package is already 32 svc and Woodlands North in future.Ayer Rajah and Bukit Batok also won't last long.Most probably LTA looking into 450-600 capacity depot hence you why there's plan to expand HGDEP and retain Soon Lee,Bedok North and Ang Mo Kio.
All, Punggol interchange expansion started to erect boarding berth on the sides now. See some steel structures. By the way, counted 13 bus lanes marking on the ground. Not 12. Cheers. Thanks.

Hope they expedite the expansion because the jams getting worse.
What's going on with the Compassvale Interchange? It's been months it is ready... and still no announcement.
Haven't they sorted out the legal issues yet? Also what they were sleeping all these years when they first proposed and then constructed the expansion interchange?
Ridiculously delayed.

Ridiculously delayed. As they are not able to provide the bus service
Compassvale bus interchange Lta cannot make it Even more all the details for the bus service network lta still not working for the moment

They did launch 102 for Sengkang West, but I agree it's just taken too long. They should at least introduce the Anchorvale Crescent feeder as the people there have to walk quite a bit to the nearest LRT stop. Current interchange does have space to accommodate 1 more service. And where do they even care if space or not. Look at CCK - launched 301, 308, 983 and bumped up 300, 302, 307 like anything even when the interchange has no space.
Compassvale I think on March le,Punggol by May i think..
Choa Chu Kang really need a new bigger Int with 3 alighting berths,5 boarding berths and 60 12m and 10 18m lots.
Pasir Ris need another alighting berth,1 more boarding berth and extra 10 parking lots.
Sembawang need expansion for future.
