  Perhaps you can re-route it via CCK Dr, North 7, Way, Sungei Kadut Loop and Ave.

  You mean the route below?

  1. Introduce a loop service from Tampines - Tampines Dormitory...
  [b]SERVICE 5 - Tampines Interchange - Tampines Ave 4 - Tampines St 21 - Tampines Ave 2 - Tampines Ave 4 - Tampines Ave 5 - Tampines St 83 - Tampines Ave 3 - Tampines Ave 8 - Tampines Ave 5 - Tampines Ave 10 - Tampines Ind Ave 2 - Tampines Place (Tampines Dormitory) - Tampines Ind Ave 2 - Tampines Ave 10 - Tampines Ave 5 - Tampines Ave 8 - Tampines Ave 3 - Tampines St 83 - Tampines Ave 5 - Tampines Ave 4 - Tampines Ave 2 - Tampines St 21 - Tampines Ave 4 - Tampines Interchange
  
  2. Reroute Sv 81...demand is not too great Tampines-Serangoon...
  
  Tampines Interchange - Tampines Ave 7 - Loyang Ave - Pasir Ris Dr 1 - Pasir Ris Dr 12 - TPE - Tampines Rd - Hougang Ave 3 - Hougang Central - Hougang Ave 4 - Hougang Ave 9 - Yio Chu Kang Rd - Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 - Ang Mo Kio Ave 8 -Yio Chu Kang Interchange[/b]

  Svc 5 route too winding around Tampines, especially when it bypasses tampines central area twice.
  
  As for 81, people take this bus to get to SRJC. Rerouting it will result in a transfer or extra walking for the students. Sv 81 has vv low demand between Kovan - Serangoon. Maybe loop at Kovan?

  Hmm, but will loop at Kovan be too long for loop service?

  Is it possible to divert 927 to ply via Yew Tee? I mean, sv 927 route is quite pathetic other than the zoo. Once upon a time, it used to link CCK and Bt Panjang residents to the zoo.....

  If Svc 9 89 can loop at CACC, why cant Svc 81 loop at Kovan?

  Yes, correct. From what I saw in the street directory, Sungei Kadut Loop connects CCK Way and Sungei Kadut Ave.

  I would prefer service 925 to ply via Yew Tee. So that passengers of Sungei Kadut transferring to NSL towards Jurong East can transfer at Yew Tee MRT which is nearer instead of CCK MRT.
  
  Service 927 has to ply Woodlands Rd, for passengers of other services like 170, 178 and 961 to transfer to this service to get to the zoo.

  freakybuses: It'd be best if you could consult the st directory before implementing your fantasy route. No hard feelings but this would facillitate us in understanding your route better.

  5 Mar 04, 14:07

  Hmm...ok I'll do this...
  
  Sv 81 will ply its current route from Tampines Interchange - Tampines Rd, then will switch to my route (stated somewhere in this topic) and terminate at Ang Mo Kio not Yio Chu Kang.
  
  Sv 295 (renumbered from Sv 5) will not loop around Tampines that much...

  Two more things: have to make sure whether the bus can turn right at a junction, have to make sure there are no height restriction for services using DD.

  This are my suggestions:
  
  CCK bus numbers start with 97x
  
  All Feeders in CCK renumbered:
  300 ~ 970
  302 ~ 972
  Intra-town 307 ~ 977
  
  Created by me, Feeder 971(LOOP):
  CCK Interchange,
  CCK Ave 4:
  LOT 1 Shoppers' Mall
  CCK Drive:
  Blk 701,704
  CCK North 5:
  Blk 754,761
  CCK Nth 6:
  Yew Mei Green,Opp Blk 633
  CCK Drive:Yew Tee MRT
  CCK Nth 7:
  Blk 619
  CCK Crescent:
  Blk 681,685B,689 CP,691
  CCK Nth 7: Regent Grove
  CCK Drive: Opp Yew Tee MRT
  CCK Street 62: Blk 625
  CCK Nth 6: Blk 633
  Opp Yew Mei Green
  CCK Nth 5:
  Blk 701, Villa Verde
  CCK Drive:Blk 703
  CCK Ave 4, CCK Interchange
  
  What do you think of the route? It is to help ease the load on 307 and 302

  There is a current 970 serving between Bukit Panjang and Shenton Way. Don't follow Tibs by renumbering services. It does not increase load at all. Don't touch those nos. Leave them alone.

  Just for your information, fantasy bus routes refer to routes that are created by bus fans ourselves for fun.
  
  3 companies exist here:
  ZYXBus Co.
  COp Bus Services (CBS)
  Island Express Services
  FS Co Ltd. <-- double check with off_service
  
  CBS currently now has only CBS20 or COp20. It plys from Pasir Ris to Kent Ridge. Pls refer to posts earlier in the thread for route info @http://buses.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=69437&page=2

  Few errors added, noted and corrected above.
  
  I find your first route very winding especially around the Raffles Place area. It wont bring much pax around there especially weekends. A direct road down Bras Basah Rd would be better.
  
  Another winding route on your 2nd route. Going to toa payoh before City and then to Airport. Might as well Toa Payoh direct to Airport One more thing.. PIE (East) has no slip road to CTE (South) and vice versa. I'd recommend your route to enter via Braddell Rd.
  
  Just my 2 cents worth

  Thnx for the corrections...
  
  But if the main demand out of airport is towards the city, is there any point in making it direct to Toa Payoh?

  Oh! I forgot. Anyway, I think it should be renumbered as it looks weird on a TIBS bus. But I just luv the number 307...
  
  Anyone, can u please give me comments on my new feeder bus route. I would want comments before submitting it to TIBS, thanx

  Actually, the weirdest thing about 36 is that the main demand does not begin at the airport. Instead, it is from Marine Parade to Suntec/Orchard. From airport, the bus is at most 60% sitting. Well, these are my observations and might not necessarily be true.
