Too many tranfer trip after bus admendment (NEL, HG sth int)
-
According to the PTC website
At least 95% of trips from one point to another should involve not more than 1 inter-trunk or trunk/MRT transfer (excluding feeder transfers). (source:http://www.ptc.gov.sg/bus_servstandards.html)
With all the admendment and removal of duplicates for NEL and recent bus changes due to the closure of Hougang south Interchange, do you think that the PTC have effectively enforce this rule? -
Also from the PTC website:
# Route should be direct and avoid circuitous routings. Route should not be more than 30% longer in distance than comparative trips by car. Generally, there should be no more than 2 branches per trunk route.
Services 3, 8, 14, 28, 38, 51, 61, 74, 112, 113, 123, 143, 166, 800, 811, 812 etc. -

Service 143 is only winding in Teban/Pandan Gdns.Originally posted by pkcheah100:Ya... full of "go round the world" bus Dont' forget...166 143..... I think the new service (113 112 ) also. -
Nope, the Orchard Rd and Chinatown sectors too.Originally posted by tranquilice:Service 143 is only winding in Teban/Pandan Gdns. -
In my opinion, it is not winding in these 2 sectors.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Nope, the Orchard Rd and Chinatown sectors too. -
In what way is Svc 51 circuitious? I think it used to bypass IKEA before SMRT Rationalisation. That explains the big round in the queenstown area.

Circuitous from Alexandra to Chinatown. Also ending in Hougang via Eunos is another example.Originally posted by service_238:In what way is Svc 51 circuitious? I think it used to bypass IKEA before SMRT Rationalisation. That explains the big round in the queenstown area. -
try sbst 74 from BV to Macritchie.
-
Because it goes by Geylang and city areas to get to Jurong, when Sv. 165, in comparison, goes by the suburbs.Originally posted by service_238:In what way is Svc 51 circuitious? I think it used to bypass IKEA before SMRT Rationalisation. That explains the big round in the queenstown area. -

Junction of Jln Ahmad Ibrahim and Jurong Port Rd. Also the location of the former Jurong Bus Park. Jurong Depot was located at Penjuru Rd, next to Teban Gardens.Originally posted by service_238:Where's the exact place of the former Jurong Interchange? -
