As stated in the poster, service 62 will operate from the new Punggol interchange, so I think the interchange is ready for use.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Another half-assed attempt to serve Punggol residents better at the expense of others. Wait, isn't Punggol Interchange still under construction? So the Sv. 62 buses will park at the MRT station, like Sv. 3 currently, I suppose?
Yes, it is announced on SBST online travel guide that this is the final phase.Originally posted by foxtrot1985:By the way, is this the final phase of the Network Rationalisation? (apart from any bus service route changes due to shutting down of Hougang South interchange)
I predict that service 82 will become a single-deck-only service as most of the load will go over to service 107.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:I am surprised and disappointed with this move , ohh well NEL again . Anyway , i wonder whether there will be a change of depots for some of these services like 82 , 62 and 107. Let's find out . Better catch Trident on 82 !!!
Not yet. The interchange is still heavily under construction, when I went there early November there still wasn't a basic structure. Sv. 136, on the contrary, DOES NOT stop at Punggol MRT station for a 5 min break.Originally posted by tranquilice:As stated in the poster, service 62 will operate from the new Punggol interchange, so I think the interchange is ready for use.
Beside service 3, service 136 also stop for a while at Punggol MRT station. (Service 83 does not)
So you mean that the information on service 62 poster is a mistake?

Yah, in the near future. Remember SBST love to manipulate facts for their own interests. Look at how close Sv. 62 route is to NEL stations on the poster, when in effect, the reverse is true!Originally posted by tranquilice:So you mean that the information on service 62 poster is a mistake?

They like that one what. They'd rather have two services duplicating each other from Upp Serangoon Rd - HG Central, than one service to cover all the route. If they like it they will do it.Originally posted by xin1jun2:i only got 2 words to say
SBS sucks
and whats with the 62 anyway. why bother to cut it back to geylang lor 1... SBSt is very funny.
and do they ever have a brain. why not just admend 82 onto 107's route and withdrawn 107 instead of keeping 82 and 107 together around. SBSt very toopid

Is the route really very close? I don't think so.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Yah, in the near future. Remember SBST love to manipulate facts for their own interests. Look at how close Sv. 62 route is to NEL stations on the poster, when in effect, the reverse is true!
Possible, since majority of service 82 load will go over to service 107. But we have to wait and see the load ourselves.Originally posted by th1988:For once, passengers to Selatar Airport (West Camp) and East Camp can get the comfort of AC buses.
Service 147 will have a better frequency wef 7 Dec 2003. From the usual 10 mins, it will become 4-8 minutes, back to its pre-NEL frequency.
Will service 107 gets ADD once it is being under the eastern district wef 30 Nov 2003?
Yes, service 82 after Serangoon MRT station, should ply service 107 route to Shenton Way while the latter gets withdrawn.Originally posted by xin1jun2:i only got 2 words to say

Expect Mercedes O405s and Scania N113CRBs. The control of service 82 will most probably move to AMKDEP.Originally posted by tranquilice:Possible, since majority of service 82 load will go over to service 107. But we have to wait and see the load ourselves.
Will service 107 be controlled by Hougang depot? If it is, Tridents may be deployed if the demand is high.
Expect all the double deckers on service 82 to be removed. (ie. single-deckers-only)
In other words: Inconvenience Sengkang and Punggol residents.Originally posted by xin1jun2:i only got 2 words to say

Can Volvo single deckers on service 82 be transferred to service 107?Originally posted by off_service:Expect Mercedes O405s and Scania N113CRBs. The control of service 82 will most probably move to AMKDEP.
Depot x-fer lohz.Originally posted by tranquilice:Can Volvo single deckers on service 82 be transferred to service 107?
Possible since Sv. 107 is likely to be taken over by HGDEP.Originally posted by tranquilice:Can Volvo single deckers on service 82 be transferred to service 107?

I agree with you . I have a big question mark over SBST's management in handling in Bus and NEL's operation . They seem to care only about making money and will do the extreme way just to make up for their loss. Absolutely disappointed with them , I cant believe this plan is approved .
