-
Peace to you guys,When is the actual operation date for Punggol LRT system to be on service?
Domoarigatogozaimas.
-
not sure, don't think it'll be in the near future. the punggol estate needs to be well-developed to sustain it but the situation now doesn't seems to favour this. probably 2 yrs from now, or more.
-
even the names are not yet decided... so not so soon.
-
Remember that Sengkang LRT west loop has not open yet, due to under-development. Punggol town is still not much developed. Punggol LRT east loop will open earlier than west loop.
-
One LRT station name has been made known to all.Originally posted by freakybuses:even the names are not yet decided... so not so soon.
-
and that is punggol! maybe some other names may be Sentul and EdgefieldOriginally posted by tranquilice:One LRT station name has been made known to all. -
Perhaps in 2006?
-
Or maybe when SMRT Rail Dept & SBST Rail Dept merge in the near future???Originally posted by SBS9818A:Perhaps in 2006? -
That scenario = wait long long.Originally posted by cck_190:Or maybe when SMRT Rail Dept & SBST Rail Dept merge in the near future??? -
Not that long...SBS Transit will have to give up NEL to SMRT. First, govt say they don't want to force them to give up or merge.Then, govt cannot stand seeing NEL under SBST, so, SBST will be forced to give up/merge their RAIL operations.Originally posted by SBS9818A:That scenario = wait long long.
I would be the happiest person in the world becoz, if SBS give up NEL, there will be a high chance of SBS re-taking over CCK & BB.Tibs will get back SK/PG -
Sorry, SBST will never give up NEL. It'd be a severe loss of face for them as it shows they can't operate a rail line decently.Originally posted by cck_190:Not that long...SBS Transit will have to give up NEL to SMRT.

Sengkang is already so good... SBST spent quite much effort to link the towns... I don't want to see AMK infested with Tibs buses... that will mean 86, 156, 159, 136 becoming Tibs!!! Hougang will become a disaster... 1/2 tibs, 1/2 SBST...Originally posted by cck_190:Not that long...SBS Transit will have to give up NEL to SMRT.

Haha...If u ask me, SBS Transit can't operate bus services so decently.The oldSBS did much betterOriginally posted by SBS9818A:Sorry, SBST will never give up NEL. It'd be a severe loss of face for them as it shows they can't operate a rail line decently.
btw, you cannot be sure what might happen in the future... -
What makes you think i like Tibs buses infesting CCK??? I hate the fact that SBS lost an area they controlled for more than ten years just like that*snap fingers*.Originally posted by freakybuses:Sengkang is already so good...

btw, I think TIBS shud control AMK as their HQ is there. -
then how abt SBST's AMDEP? AMDEP is 3 times larger than AMKDEP.Originally posted by cck_190:What makes you think i like Tibs buses infesting CCK??? I hate the fact that SBS lost an area they controlled for more than ten years just like that*snap fingers*.

I hope SBST take back CCK and BB... and that's it... TIBS take over BNL -
I saw the word 'Meridian' as one of the station names... Its near Blk 173/174/109Originally posted by freakybuses:even the names are not yet decided... so not so soon.
The east loop have at least been named already... but not yet released by LTA. -
AMK is under SBS's control for 20++ years!!! far longer than BB and CCK.Originally posted by cck_190:What makes you think i like Tibs buses infesting CCK??? I hate the fact that SBS lost an area they controlled for more than ten years just like that*snap fingers*.

Maybe Mat Sentul are far more better or Bendul.Originally posted by freakybuses:and that is punggol! maybe some other names may be Sentul and Edgefield -
and Meridian JC is in Pasir Ris? Another eg of not coordinating well within the govt agencies...Originally posted by service_238:I saw the word 'Meridian' as one of the station names... Its near Blk 173/174/109

btw, PE4 should be Tembing -
Size doesn't matter...my point is that AMK is Tibs HQ.Originally posted by service_238:then how abt SBST's AMDEP? AMDEP is 3 times larger than AMKDEP.

I just wish SBS take back the whole of the Northwest(CCK,BB,BP)in exchange with Tibs for the Northeast -
But the main thing is, don't forget that AMK was totally controlled by SBS in the past close to 30 years till now... impossible to exchange. btw, SBS is attempting to make services trespassing Tibs new towns... maybe you will see DDs in CCK in the near future.Originally posted by cck_190:Size doesn't matter...my point is that AMK is Tibs HQ.

And AMK couldn't be under Tibs. How to cope with 265 and 268? Tibs will not want svcs from its own depot during the handover. Referring to North east, SBST will also not give up Hougang. The number of services affected will be about 65 for SBST and only 20 for Tibs... thus SBST will not sacrifice. -
Whoa! didn't know that it will affect so many servicesOriginally posted by freakybuses:But the main thing is, don't forget that AMK was totally controlled by SBS in the past close to 30 years till now... impossible to exchange. btw, SBS is attempting to make services trespassing Tibs new towns... maybe you will see DDs in CCK in the near future.

. Maybe just exchange Punggol or Sengkang for Choa Chu Kang NOT other Northwest towns.
Anyway, how did you know that SBS trying to trespass into TIBS towns? -
Still remember when it started with 168? After 161 was introduced, 168 started to have DDs... recently in August last year, 39 was introduced in Yishun... maybe they have other plans too.Originally posted by cck_190:Whoa! didn't know that it will affect so many services .

168 was introduced in mid 2001, 161 in mid 2002. They both got their DDs in Apr 2003.Originally posted by freakybuses:Still remember when it started with 168?

i hope 39 doesnt get DDs... if they do, more mk5s will be gone and there goes the highway expressOriginally posted by freakybuses:Still remember when it started with 168?

i simply love speeding mk5s.
