Your suggestion more or less similar with LTA

^^ any suggestion for Jurong West? :)

Jurong West is a mature town. Aside for the Tuas rearrangements, unlikely to have any significant route changes in the short-term. 500 is still an unknown.
Unless LTA taking over Jurong Island service and built a proper Terminal inside there..To Jurong East,To Boon Lay and Tuas is much possible..

Yes.
(1) 181 should be extended to Bulim
(2) 246 should ply Lakeside MRT -> Corporation Road -> Boon Lay Ave -> Boon Lay Dr -> Corporation Road and back to provide direct Lakeside MRT access for Corporation Rd/Boon Lay Ave residents. Boon Lay Place will still be covered by 240/240M.
(3) 256 and 258 should merge. 258 missing section still covered by 99 and 192. The new 258 should operate with 8 DDs instead of 06.
(4) 52 should be extended to Boon Lay via Jurong East Ave 1 -> Jurong Townhall Road -> Boon Lay Way (CG, Lakeside MRT) -> Corporation Road -> Boon Lay Place -> Boon Lay Ave -> Boon Lay
* Provides direct connection to Boon Lay Place/Jurong West to Traders Center/IBP/IMM/Eng Teng Fong/Toh Guan. Missing section from Toh Guan to JE covered by 41/105/183/333/990.
The above would be my suggestions for Jurong West.

* Connects CBP, ITE to Bedok North Estate & DTL 3 @ Bedok Reservoir
* Connects Bedok North Ave 4 HDBs and industrial estate to DTL 3 @ Bedok Reservoir
* Connects Bedok Reservoir Road to DTL3 @ Bedok North (no connection today)
* Connects Chai Chee St, Bedok North St 1/3, North Ave 1/2 to DTL3 @ Bedok North (no connection today)
* Provides good intra-town connectivity for entire Bedok North Estate.
Thoughts??
maybe service 20 can terminate at there

Cannot.. because it loops around the Changi South industrial estate and is the only service there.
CBP Terminal should see a new service connecting to Bedok North and connecting parts of Bedok North to DTL3.
Actuall 46 could have been this service if it had not been poorly planned.

Changi Business Park Terminal is under Tampines Package so why not a new svc 44 loop at Tampines St 86 passing by outside Tampines Int?

Coz Tampines already got many new services 46, 127, 129. CBP - Bedok North link is missing + there needs to be better Bedok North - DTL3 connection for say Bedok North St 3, Chai Chee Estate.

Family-friendly bus and rail network
Prams in buses
Nursing rooms at transport nodes

Prams in buses
- LTA has been studying the implementation of a restraint system which will allow open prams to be safely secured on public buses. As there is no standard restraint system available in the market today, we will be collaborating with institutes of higher learning such as the NUS High School of Mathematics and Science and Nanyang Polytechnic to study the design of the system.
- During the design journey, the safety of the pram users, the child in the pram and other passengers on the buses, as well as the needs of other bus passengers, especially wheelchair users, will be taken into consideration. Once the prototype of the proposed restraint system is available, LTA will work with the PTOs as well as pram users to trial it on our buses.
Nursing rooms at transport nodes
- To make it more convenient for parents and caregivers travelling with babies and young children, all new[1] and upcoming bus interchanges and integrated transport hubs, such as those at Bukit Panjang, Outram, Sengkang, Shenton Way and Tampines, will be designed with a standalone nursing room which will come with diaper changing amenities and a wash basin.
- On the rail network, all stations along the future Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) and Circle Line 6 will have family-friendly washrooms, comprising a diaper changing station, child-size toilet seat and barrier-free facilities, alongside the main toilets in the unpaid area. We will include a nursing room and barrier-free toilet in the paid areas of interchange stations.
Outram?MRT?Shenton Way?New bus terminal open to public?
Finally they study the pram usage. It is so inconvenient for people to fold the pram first, carry baby in one hand and pram in the other hand and board. and some BC dont wait till the person mounts the pram and sits with the baby.
One of the most unfriendly pram systems in developed countries. Good it is receiving due attention now.

136 exchange with 29 better,Make 29 start from CVT looping at Tampines.115 can give to Serangoon-Eunos package..
GA has too many DDs. Would be good if GA gets 50 and 5 so that they make these two full fleet DDs and take away the wasted resources from 83/85. I observed loading yesterday PM. Disastrous!!
The new Prince Edward Bus Interchange will replace the old Shenton Way Bus Terminal. This Bus Interchange is slated to link with the Prince Edward CCL Station

I hope so! When is the relocated bus ter going to open?
With regards to Ulu Pandan Bus Depot, I notice the depot is build on two sites - East and West - separated by a road (Business Park Drive). The west site seems to be parking lots only, whereas the building is at the east site. I wonder how operations would be carried out. It could be due to the complexity in operations that many participants here think that the depot is reserved for the incumbent operators SBS and SMRT. Nonetheless, let's wait and see.

I would be very happy if LTA decide to storage 20 units of their B9TL and give them 15 E500 instead.
