Hi mr lemon1974, mr seveneighteightsix is right. LTA first announced expansion of Sengkang int in nov 2014. It was scheduled to complete and be operational by Q3 2015. However the construction was delayed and started in Q1 2016 and thd 2nd scheduled completion was Q3 2016.
The same goes for tampines concourse int. First announced in late 2014 and supposed to complete by Q4 2015. But only opened on 18 dec 2016. 1 yr delay. The message you give is the later info after they have realized they could not make it in the initial timeframe given. Cheers. Thanks.
LTA official press release have stated 2nd Qtr 2016.. (so at least they did update the press release)but no one bother to go find out and keep on thinking that the expansion will complete in 2015...
even if like what you said, they actually did amend the date as well.so nothing wrong cos whatever date they give initially are all estimated...

Hi mr lemon1974, all I can say that their initial estimation is always far off. Even their 2nd time estimation falls flat on their face.
Bukit panjang bus interchange was also supposed to open on dec 2015 but was pushed it to early 2017 due to canal diversion. Hope they don't push back again when 2017 comes. Cheers. Thanks.

I doubt that it will be pushed back beyong Q1 2017 since the basic structure of the building seems to be completed. But then again, I could be wrong

This feeder should be for Punggol East BTOs (svc 387)
svc 68 may go to SBS. The proposed route anyway doesn't seem anything great or different. Even if they defer to launch it in 2019 once Tampines North is developed, it is okay.

Hi mr carbikebus, I pray hard it passes by Punggol central to Punggol east to Punggol east end directly. The most direct of direct routes. Cheers. Thanks.

Hi mr busanalyser, the last statement 'already so many buses empty in Punggol...add one more...crazy' is inappropriate.
The buses are somehow empty due to the inappropiate type which is used. DD used for SD loading services which is the cause.
Need address this root cause instead of using a wrong type of reason to deny other areas which currently lack a service and slam all areas together. Cheers.
