Which services do you think should be withdrawn or re-route?
-
TIBS will N-E-V-E-R let SBST into CCK, BP or BB. It's like a town fully controlled by them.Unless SBST makes a loop service like 181M. But then again, anything might happen.Originally posted by BlessingSatan:Can someone kindly suggest to SBST at least a (SBST) service from Bt Panjang/CCK or Bt Batok to the Northeast areas(Vice-versa)?Also either Bishan or Toa Payoh need a TIBS service!
I sent a letter to SBST but they say they do not have plans to introduce a new service to the NorthWest. They say the normal things. Go to MRT,take NEL & blablabla -
They might not let SBS into their controlled interchanges, but do they have a say if SBS wants to pass through say CCK but to terminate in say Jurong East?Originally posted by cck_190:TIBS will N-E-V-E-R let SBST into CCK, BP or BB.

I would love those two suggestions!Originally posted by foxtrot1985:985 to be extended to Changi Airport (i.e. 989's route last time).
8 to be extended to Bishan. -
What do you mean when you say 'pass'. If just pass through as in pass thru CCK Rd, TIBS won't even bother. Only have a few bus stops.Originally posted by leeJZ:They might not let SBS into their controlled interchanges, but do they have a say if SBS wants to pass through say CCK but to terminate in say Jurong East?
If pass through as in pass thru the whole town of CCK, then Tibs might have to say something. -
But it's route is different to service 132.Originally posted by foxtrot1985:Isn't there already 153? -
What do you had to say about NR7 and 181M?Doesn't they ply each other territories?FYI,These 2 transport giants had the same main shareholder so anything can happen if you know what i really meansOriginally posted by cck_190:What do you mean when you say 'pass'.

Conspiracies ha? -
I prefer Sv 82 going to Bishan. It provides better links between Bishan & Serangoon now that Sv 156 no longer calls at Serangoon Int.Originally posted by foxtrot1985:985 to be extended to Changi Airport (i.e. 989's route last time).

SBST81 should go to bishan.. providing Kovan & pasir ris residents a direct link to bishan central.. CBS36 is going to do just that on 11th aprilOriginally posted by iveco:I prefer Sv 82 going to Bishan.

hmm... there's currently 53 that links Bishan to Serangoon. However, I don't think SBST will do anything more about linking Bishan to Serangoon since the Circle Line is coming up anyway.Originally posted by iveco:I prefer Sv 82 going to Bishan.

I thought there's already 88 for Pasir Ris residents?Originally posted by service_238:SBST81 should go to bishan.. providing Kovan & pasir ris residents a direct link to bishan central.. CBS36 is going to do just that on 11th april -
Who would want a butt pain ride of 1 hr from PSR to BSH on 88?Originally posted by foxtrot1985:I thought there's already 88 for Pasir Ris residents? -
extending 81 to Bishan will perhaps mean a journey of 10-15 minutes faster at most anyway... It already takes an average of 25-30 minutes to get from outside Pasir Ris White Sands to Hougang Ave 3. Some more this is during off-peak...

Can't argue with you on that...I just wish CCK will be re-taken over by SBSOriginally posted by BlessingSatan:What do you had to say about NR7 and 181M?Doesn't they ply each other territories?FYI,These 2 transport giants had the same main shareholder so anything can happen if you know what i really means Conspiracies ha?

181M trespasses into both BP and CCK!!! so why don't Tibs allow that in daytime?Originally posted by cck_190:TIBS will N-E-V-E-R let SBST into CCK, BP or BB. It's like a town fully controlled by them.Unless SBST makes a loop service like 181M. But then again, anything might happen.

Tibs can't say anything about that...181M just loops there.Originally posted by freakybuses:181M trespasses into both BP and CCK!!! so why don't Tibs allow that in daytime?
Anyway, tibs won't bother about this service as it's just a public holiday service. Doesn't have a big impact on tibs

Pasir Ris residents already have a link to Bishan, two in fact - Sv 88 & Sv 53.Originally posted by service_238:SBST81 should go to bishan.. providing Kovan & pasir ris residents a direct link to bishan central.. CBS36 is going to do just that on 11th april
As for Kovan residents, walk down to Serangoon and take Sv 53.
So, better to reroute Sv 8 instead of Sv 81. -
but better reroute 81 to AMK... it's better than taking 136.Originally posted by leeJZ:Pasir Ris residents already have a link to Bishan, two in fact - Sv 88 & Sv 53.

By the way, my proposed ammendments -
Sv 97: Jurong East - Pasir Ris
Extend to Pasir Ris via Nicoll Highway after Esplanade Drive, Mountbatten Rd, Fort Rd, ECP, Xilin & Simei Aves, Tampines Aves 5, 4 & 7, Loyang Ave, and Pasir Ris Drs 1, 4 & 3.
Sv 854: Bedok - Choa Chu Kang
New route via New Upp Changi Rd, Changi Rd, Jln Eunos, Eunos Link, Hougang Aves 2 & 3, Ang Mo Kio Aves 3 & 6, Lentor Ave, SLE & BKE, Bukit Panjang & Choa Chu Kang Rds and Choa Chu Kang Way. (Might have to divert Sv 25 for this) -
I hope there would be a bus service from cck to clementi road....and terminate at clementi.......it will be better for mi as i no need to transfer bus or wadever from cck to clementi road.....as my sch(np) is along there....

My butt hurts after that journey.Originally posted by foxtrot1985:I thought there's already 88 for Pasir Ris residents? -
They can take 82/107/112/113 to Hougang Stadium there and change to 25/132.Originally posted by freakybuses:but better reroute 81 to AMK... it's better than taking 136.
They can also take 81 to serangoon and take 22 from SGN. -
Quite expensive to transfer... furthermore, extending 81 to AMK will have more pax taking to Pasir Ris rather than svc 88...Originally posted by service_238:They can take 82/107/112/113 to Hougang Stadium there and change to 25/132.

Yes and Sv 88 is one of SBS' favorite services, more so than Sv 81, which is already quite pampered...Originally posted by freakybuses:Quite expensive to transfer... furthermore, extending 81 to AMK will have more pax taking to Pasir Ris rather than svc 88...
Maybe PSR residents can do the following -
Sv 17 to Bedok
Sv 24/25 to Ang Mo Kio
Sv 81/39/3/21 to Tampines Sv 22 to Ang Mo Kio
Sv 53 to Upp Paya Lebar Rd Sv 22/24 to Ang Mo Kio
Sv 89 to Punggol Rd Sv 86 to Ang Mo Kio (Have to cross road) -

89/86 and 81/25 combo are the best!Originally posted by foxtrot1985:Also: Sv 81 to Hougang Ave 3 and then take 25.
Maybe i would consider my CBS routes to connect Kovan MRT and AMK Central.
