Is Tampines the largest HDB estate in Singapore?Originally posted by foxtrot1985:Yah lah, they just renovated the hawker centre only... now looks like it doesn't look like a good move given that human traffic will decrease in the future....
Anyway, I dun quite agree about LTA's point that Hougang is not quite big enough for 2 bus interchanges so close together... The fact is that Hougang is the largest HDB estate in S'pore, so I suppose it doesn't quite validate LTA's point...
An article a couple of years back in Berita Harian honoured Tampines as the largest Housing Estate in Singapore. This includes HDB dwelling units, landed properties and private condominiums.Originally posted by Smiley Volgren:Is Tampines the largest HDB estate in Singapore?![]()
My sentiments exactly. I remembered that Minister for Transport, Mr.Yeo in the newspaper mentioned that SBS Transit will provide a excellent feeder service to serve the Buangkok residents but nothing happened today? And yet HG South has to move to HG Central...is the Government really making things difficult for business at Kovan? Otherwise, Kovan may be Woodlands Part II (their business got worse since Tibs moved to WDL Regional Interchange)Originally posted by SBS9818A:I think many of the feeder services based at HG South will be converted to Townlink services, all looping outside the interchange, as two new cream-and-yellow bus stops have recently been erected outside the interchange. This will be much like Woodlands services 911, 912, 913.
Yes, there is a high chance Kovan would become Old Woodlands Center Pt. II, SBST says lots of "sweet" stuff but always fail to implement them, or introduce a half-past-six version, so don't keep your hopes too high..Originally posted by Smiley Volgren:My sentiments exactly.

what do u mean "half-past-six version"?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Yes, there is a high chance Kovan would become Old Woodlands Center Pt. II, SBST says lots of "sweet" stuff but always fail to implement them, or introduce a half-past-six version, so don't keep your hopes too high..
Well, face it, Hougang South Interchange is just like the old Woodlands interchange, the pax traffic is not very high compared to central, and that it mainly serves the feeder services. It is a fact that the closure would cause business to be lost, but according to my uncle who is based there, it is much more difficult to manoeveur into the interchange as compared to central.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Yes, there is a high chance Kovan would become Old Woodlands Center Pt.

Oh your uncle, chief driver of Sv. 132 right? Yes, HG South Int is relatively space-constrained. When I was there a few weeks ago, hardly anyone boarded the bus from the interchange. The place is so quiet and desolated.Originally posted by TIB1186Z:Well, face it, Hougang South Interchange is just like the old Woodlands interchange, the pax traffic is not very high compared to central, and that it mainly serves the feeder services.

Times do change, u can't expect everything to stay as a bed of roses.
Darryl, you still have not told me about "half-past-six versionOriginally posted by SBS9818A:Oh your uncle, chief driver of Sv. 132 right? Yes, HG South Int is relatively space-constrained.

Sorry, I meant to say slipshod version, they don't seem willing to give the full package so they throw in a lousy one with some sweeteners.Originally posted by Smiley Volgren:Darryl, you still have not told me about "half-past-six version![]()
