Hi friends, I have created a new thread, as this thread has reached the limit of 2000 posts. Let's continue at the new thread, titled "Bus Terminal, Interchanges & Depots (Part 2)". Thank you.
Originally posted by haopengyou:Sorry to disappoint, but, the temporary Choa Chu Kang bus interchange may be about the same size as the current Choa Chu Kang bus interchange.
no need to disappoint me, like i said its slightly bigger... srsly
If LTA haven't learn the lesson I don't know what to say either..
Originally posted by haopengyou:Well, according to the map,
- The junction of Yishun Avenue 8 and 7 seems to be an ideal location to build the bus depot, for the "Sembawang-Yishun" package.
- The junction of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 and Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2 seems to be an ideal location to build the depot for the "Sengkang-Hougang" package.
- The depot for "Bedok" package can be located at Bedok North Avenue 4 area, near the existing Bedok North depot.
The depot for "Choa Chu Kang" package would probably be at Sungei Kadut area.
and the list goes on.
Basically, there are industrial areas around to site bus depots. It's unlikely that LTA will take over the depots owned by the operators, as that would mean paying for a property with shorter lease, and incurring the costs of refurbishing and upgrading the depot to have updated facilities.
As for the assignment of routes, I do not think there would be any change to the composition of bus packages.
Current operators bus depots:Soon Lee,Kranji,Bt Batok,Ayer Rajah,Braddell,Ang Mo Kio,Hougang,Ang Mo Kio-SMRT & Bedok North..How many billions more LTA had to spend to replace those depots/Bus Parks?Hgdep got expansion going on.
