Better link coverage
-
Bukit Timah where?Originally posted by th1988:Well, then I am going to Punggol
Don't want to say too much, poor linking network, but adequate as 4 services are needed and there are 3, 62, 82, 83, 136. 84 cannot be counted as it is peak hr sv (In my opinion)
But planning is good as there are no small road at all. But it may face withdrawn when LRT starts running end of this year.
But some services can be introduced
1) To Changi Village/ Beach
2) Ang Mo Kio/ Toa Payoh
3) Bukit Timah
4) Choa Chu Kang/ Bt Panjang -
Perhaps SBST should extend 163 to Punggol as there is 159 in Sengkang. But if 163 is extended to Punggol, maybe 83 will.be withdrawn. It would be good if 163 is extended.Originally posted by th1988:Ang Mo Kio/ Toa Payoh -
Bt Timah for schools along Dunearn/ Bt Timah Road.
It would ply like this
Punggol East, Punggol Central, Punggol Road, TPE, CTE, Bt Timah Road, it can end at Kent Ridge. It will be semi express -
Sv. 159 should not be extended, route is already long enough. But SBST will say, take Sv. 83, transfer Sv. 159/Sv. 163Originally posted by sbs&tibs:Perhaps SBST should extend 163 to Punggol as there is 159 in Sengkang.

159 rt is only 19 FS. But what 9818 is saying as it is loop service.
So you are going to say that rt 23 is long as it is 39 FS? -
Sv. 159 is a loop service. Yes, Sv. 23 is long.Originally posted by th1988:159 rt is only 19 FS. But what 9818 is saying as it is loop service.
So you are going to say that rt 23 is long as it is 39 FS? -
I knew you would say this.
Actual fare stage per side is 20 as it is a loop service that gives it 39. Also it uses e way that can get to Sim Lim in 35 mins. -
Then, I am going to Hougang
Forget abt 101, 112, 113 as they are not launched yet
But they are very long and not direct just to get more revenue!
It is still very accessible by bus, 80 to Paya Lebar, Bugis
81 to Tampines/ Pasir Ris
107 to Shenton Way
and many more....
But I hope to see services to get to Marina Centre in the day.
I also wish 511 is still around as it does not run with the NEL at all

I did not say extend svc 159, but I said to extend 163 to Punggol to cover up the current 83 route.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Sv. 159 should not be extended, route is already long enough. But SBST will say, take Sv. 83, transfer Sv. 159/Sv. 163 -
Sv. 83 may be withdrawn once PGLRT begins operations.Originally posted by sbs&tibs:I did not say extend svc 159, but I said to extend 163 to Punggol to cover up the current 83 route. -
I agree with you.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Sv. 83 may be withdrawn once PGLRT begins operations. -
84 as well, don't forget if it is not admended fast enough as it is a temp sv.
-
Service 175 can be amended like svc 82. The proposed route is : From Choa Chu Kang to Lim Chu Kang(Loop).
-
Are there anything on HGN post as not many are looking at it yet like 511.
-
175 cannot use 82's method as this may cause Upp Bt Timah to be omitted.
-
For example Pasir Ris St 21 and 71. It bypasses my school.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Sv. 3 plies narrow roads within PSR.

macham copy my service 20 route from pasir ris to kent ridge. difference is that is operates from the north east instead of the east.Originally posted by th1988:Bt Timah for schools along Dunearn/ Bt Timah Road.
It would ply like this
Punggol East, Punggol Central, Punggol Road, TPE, CTE, Bt Timah Road, it can end at Kent Ridge. It will be semi express
I suggested a route once in this forum or in MSN. I now have a newer/updated/better version of it.
Service 85 (PUN - BSH)
Punggol Int, Punggol Central, Punggol East, Punggol Field, Punggol Rd, TPE, CTE, AMK Ave 5, AMK Ave 8, AMK Ave 3, AMK Ave 6, Marymount Rd, Bishan St 22, Bishan Rd, Bishan St 11, Bishan Int.
It seems to copy parts of 54 88 159. -
One problem is that i dont think SBST will agree. Shortworking will definitely have to be implemented if its happens as svc 83's demand is 50% higher than 163. Another point to note is that of both services frequency.Originally posted by sbs&tibs:I did not say extend svc 159, but I said to extend 163 to Punggol to cover up the current 83 route. -
They can extend 163 as they did when they extend it to Sengkang.
They introduced 163A till 371 was extended.
Feel free to look at Hougang forum on this page and on my comments. -
Are you sure ADDs can use roads like Pasir Ris St 21 and Pasir Ris St 41? Dont make such sweeping statements if you dont know the road situation in Pasir Ris.Originally posted by th1988:But they are not very small roads, even ADDs can use it. -
Then what abt St 71?
-
Street 71 is narrow, I agree but what I want to emphasise here is that does the ADD has sufficient turning radius to make the left turns from a main road into the streets? Take for example, if you want to implement ADDS on Service 3. Is the ADD able to turn left into Street 21 from Drive 2? I have seen drivers on N113CRBs and Mk3 having difficulties turning because of the kerb there and traffic in the opposite direction. With the larger turning radiuses of ADDs, I dont foresee it being easier in any way.Originally posted by th1988:Then what abt St 71? -
Then use 2x ADDs as I heard VO 2x are gonna be converted.
-
Heard but not confirmed right? Anyway, where are they going to mount the aircon unit?Originally posted by th1988:Then use 2x ADDs as I heard VO 2x are gonna be converted. -
Depends on which roads in Pasir Ris. Service 359 can use VO 2-axles to ply St 11, St 51 and part of St 71.Originally posted by th1988:Then what abt St 71?
