  By that logic I would have renumbered 225 to 223 then easier

  The jump in the number shldnt be that jialat as yall think lah

  Punggol has 381, 382 and 386, the number jumped by 1 and then 4

  Hougang is going to have 324, 325 and 329, which also jumps by 1 and then 4

  not like the number jumped from xx1 to xx9 for 2 feeder services

  It will ply Hougang Central, Hougang Ave 4, Hougang Ave 9, Hougang St 91, Hougang St 93, Buangkok Link and Buangkok Cres.
  116 should amend somewhere liao.

  Extremely bad and lazy planning by LTA.

  Good route. 329 would connect residents of Buangkok Crescent to the community amenities at Hougang Avenue 9 and Hougang Avenue 4, as well as provide a link to Hougang MRT Station that is comparable to bus service 101.

  I expect this bus to have 20 to 40 passengers throughout the day.

  6 single-decker buses should be enough to operate the service on 6 minutes frequency.

  I knew it. I've seen TRG buses training this route since January.

  And no service linking Buangkok Cres to Buangkok MRT? Any feeder, no matter how direct, is useless if there is no link to the nearest MRT!

  What is the damn point of having a new feeder to complement a more winding service, just to link to the 2nd nearest MRT, and have no link to the actual nearest MRT?

  This is one of the most stupid new routes I've seen by LTA.

  329 doesn't serve Hougang Ave 2.

  True. Surely they can't expect the residents to take 43/M.

  The last one would be a Sengkang route

  I am disappointed how LTA plans the routes. What for launch another duplicative svc to Hougang MRT when there is 101. Can easily intro svc there starting from Compassvale instead of this useless 329. And see how LTA has wasted svcs in Skg HG package. Only 1 more svc to go.

  There are SO MANY flats at Hougang St 51, Ave 4, Sengkang East Ave, Rivervale Lane/Walk, Anchorvale, and now Buangkok Cres that nearest MRT is Buangkok, yet there is NO DIRECT LINK to Buangkok MRT! And LTA didn't give any hoots for so many years!

  Hougang and Sengkang MRT are so (over)crowded, Buangkok is so empty. All thanks to LTA's laziness, ignorance and horrible foresight.
