Which bus services need to be withdrawn,Shortened or Reroute
-
But they are not hawker centres but more towards restaurants stillOriginally posted by leeJZ:they are already linked to Holland Village which has tons of eateries...
svc 81 will not be touched, I think the rather good loads in Tampines / Pasir Ris makes up for the poor loads in Hougang / Serangoon. -
how long are their lunch hrs? 2hrs? be realistic. given the demand pattern and frequency, by the time the bus comes it will be time to go back to workOriginally posted by sbst275:Maybe need not ask to 81. But 91 can be extended as C'wealth Ave and Alexadra Rd has no buses to Bt Merah. Ayer Rajah Ind Est workers can have links to Bt Merah for a bigger hawker centre for lunch. -
There are already food courts and food centre in Ayer Rajah Ind Est itself. If they want to go to Bt Merah, they can walk out and take services 14 or 197, it's not that far from Buona Vista flyover.Originally posted by sbst275:Maybe need not ask to 81.

Then make it as link between Queenstown MRT to Bt Merah. There are no direct buses there then.. This extn I have 3 main reasons actuallyOriginally posted by tranquilice:There are already food courts and food centre in Ayer Rajah Ind Est itself.

Meaning? Because I dun find any oth shorter rts to enhance the linkageOriginally posted by tranquilice:But not service 91. -
I just don't see that many pax would take it to Bt Merah.Originally posted by sbst275:Meaning? Because I dun find any oth shorter rts to enhance the linkage
Remember service 198 used to ply Queenstown MRT station?

But 198 went straight along Alexandra Rd after turning left. It didn't go anywhere near Bt Merah back then.Originally posted by tranquilice:Remember service 198 used to ply Queenstown MRT station? -
It went MacPhersonOriginally posted by iveco:But 198 went straight along Alexandra Rd after turning left. It didn't go anywhere near Bt Merah back then.
If 91 cannot, then 95 -
There may be demand as Bt Merah is the nearest town centre. How do you know when there is no links all along?Originally posted by tranquilice:I just don't see that many pax would take it to Bt Merah.

Withdraw 84 when PGLRT starts like 371 initally

Yes, that was its past route.Originally posted by iveco:But 198 went straight along Alexandra Rd after turning left. It didn't go anywhere near Bt Merah back then.
I was suggesting that since it plies Queenstown MRT station before, it can be amended to ply there again, then followed by Alexandra Rd, Jln Bt Merah and Bt Merah Central. -
Then West corridor people dun have buses to Ikea. That's why it's better to create new links with either 91 or 95 (But I prefer former as it helps to keep it profitable at least)Originally posted by tranquilice:Yes, that was its past route.

Anchorage bus stop serves Ikea. Problem is very few bus svcs go all the way to west.
195 & 198 can be amended as such:
195: from MRC...Alexandra Rd, Queensway, C'wealth Dr...to MRC.
198: from BNL...C'wealth Ave, Alexandra Rd, Jln Bt Merah. -
I mean within the radius, can be BS at Jln Bt Merah that is near to SAFRA. Due to operational prob, it is impossible for 100% direct links, but they can be within walking distOriginally posted by iveco:Anchorage bus stop serves Ikea. Problem is very few bus svcs go all the way to west.

I had suggested to SBS on changes to 198, they failed to reply to me. I sent to them in February. I doubt their feedback form is working.Originally posted by iveco:Anchorage bus stop serves Ikea. Problem is very few bus svcs go all the way to west.

I suggested (see my post above) that service 198 plies the stretch of Alexandra Rd between C'wealth Ave/Leng Kee Rd and Queensway/Jln Bt Merah, so pax from the west and Bt Merah have a bus link to IKEA.Originally posted by sbst275:Then West corridor people dun have buses to Ikea.

Not Anchorpoint?Originally posted by iveco:Anchorage bus stop serves Ikea. Problem is very few bus svcs go all the way to west.

I understand now, but 91 will stay as of links from Nth Buona Vista to Alexandra Rd/ Henderson RdOriginally posted by tranquilice:I suggested (see my post above) that service 198 plies the stretch of Alexandra Rd between C'wealth Ave/Leng Kee Rd and Queensway/Jln Bt Merah, so pax from the west and Bt Merah have a bus link to IKEA. -
There is already (suggest-of-amendment) service 198 from Nth Buona Vista Rd to this stretch of Alexandra Rd.Originally posted by sbst275:I understand now, but 91 will stay as of links from Nth Buona Vista to Alexandra Rd/ Henderson Rd -
My IBS will have a new bus stop just bef Blk 2 at Jln Bt Merah.... Making 198 call there is difficult as of the "jam" at the bus stop os Ikea which is blocked by queues of cars especially on weekendsOriginally posted by tranquilice:There is already (suggest-of-amendment) service 198 from Nth Buona Vista Rd to this stretch of Alexandra Rd.
What abt Henderson Rd? -
Is 825 dist related or flat fare service?

Actually your IBS can call at the bus stop outside SAFRA instead of having a new stop.Originally posted by sbst275:My IBS will have a new bus stop just bef Blk 2 at Jln Bt Merah....

Distance-related. The fare stages for this service are not included in this year Transitlink Guide.Originally posted by sbst275:Is 825 dist related or flat fare service?
