chop up 30?
-
hahaha besides 51, many long routes can 'chop up' too! this service longest in sbstransit. bus guide take up many pages oso. duplicate many other services oso like west coast to pasir panjang (like 51), telok blangah to shenton way (10) etc. can chop up into 2 or 3.....like boon lay to shenton way, shenton way to bedok.

wrt service 30... it provides the most direct link between east and west through sheares bridge... cut lots of travelling time.... i rather take it from my GF's place in old irport to change at HBF to go home in commonwealth than to take a more direct 196...
IMO 30 should not be cut -
Don't cut 30. It may be longest in terms of fare stage, but part of the route is express. Unlike 51. I can bet 30 takes a shorter time to complete one journey than 51.

yes.. i agree with that... the ECP link cuts travelling time by lots... it is only compensated by the roundabout trips in taman jurong.Originally posted by iveco:Don't cut 30.

30 has a headway of abt 100 min i think... versus 51's 120min.... and not to mention jams in the town which 30 bypasses -

as moderators said, it's purely a forum for suggestions and air views/possibilities. you may not like it, but others may think it's feasible.....a bit like fantasy bus routes.
if you have better things to do, u wouldnt be here, would you? and if you seriously had productive things to see to, you wouldnt have time to make the effort of replying.
orrrr...your gf lives in old airport road and u live at commonwealth....old airport road to commonwealth already served by 196.....i think in that case should amend 30 so that it skip old airport road, or take an even shorter route
Understand? -
I pity the 51 drivers. How do they answer nature's call? Its not always that your "call" comes at the right time.
-
Dun chop here chop there hor? Sv 30 is needed as a direct and fastest way from Pasir Panjang to the Eastern side of Singapore
-
I think shortening the route of svc 30 is a good idea. A friend's dad used to drive that route many years ago (yes it hasn't been amended for a long time!) and I remembered he said it could get very tedious, hot and monotonous esp driving the old alexander l-type atlantean double decks in the 1980s. Fortunately he has since retired.
No doubt it passes through major residential corridors on both ends of the island but I wonder if there are really that many passengers who actually take it from east to west and vice versa when there is now the mrt. -

it does not serve the MRT corridor, but serves the southern rim of Singapore (ie Old Airport -> Mountbatten -> HarbourFront -> Pasir Panjang -> West Coast -> Taman Jurong). -
It plied Old Airport Rd all the while. It was like the present Svc 10.Originally posted by leeJZ:I think service 30 was last amended in 1993 to ply Old Airport Rd

When 30 was amended to ECP & Sheares Bridge, 10 was diverted from Mountbatten Rd to Old Airport/Dunman Rds. 196 covered the Mountbatten Rd sector.
Like Beach Rd, Nicoll Hwy has seen the axing of many svcs. 7 & 30 were diverted, 60 was pulled. -
dun chop 30.....its a good link....whats more i like winding routes.....lolx

I don't support the chopping of service 30. If really want to chop, the most I support chop from Bedok to Eunos only.
Also, hope LTA can build a flyover at AYE and Penjuru Rd junction so that the service can plies Teban Gdns Rd in both directions. -
Like I said already, dun chop here chop there...
-
chop up 30 will inconvenience commutors.
-
No point shortening 30 from BDK to EUN. There is already 154 plying between BNL - EUN.Originally posted by tranquilice:I don't support the chopping of service 30. If really want to chop, the most I support chop from Bedok to Eunos only.

Ya, but which guy in his sane mind would want to take 30 or 154 from BNL to EUN if he wants to get there in the shortest time possible?
If you guys want to decide which part of 30 to cut or shorten I suggest you give some due consideration to the areas along the route that 30 serves. I suggest maybe cutting 30 to harbourfront? Would it be practical? Any comments? -
Dun cut here cut there... If you cut to HBF, then at PSA Bldg to BNL or Bedok then there will be no direct and fast bus ride...Originally posted by supremebull:Ya, but which guy in his sane mind would want to take 30 or 154 from BNL to EUN if he wants to get there in the shortest time possible?

Point-to-point shouldn't be used in this case. Instead should take into account the routes they ply.Originally posted by iveco:No point shortening 30 from BDK to EUN. There is already 154 plying between BNL - EUN. -

Dun see any point... Their rt is so much dif... Many passengers will be affected especially those at Pasir PanjangOriginally posted by tranquilice:Boon Lay - HarbourFront or Bedok - HarbourFront? -
Just Keep everything in place and in normal order.. Dont Chop here and there.. Just leave everything in place and everything Would be FINE...

How about Services 14 & 61? Can they be improved?Originally posted by sBs_boy:Just Keep everything in place and in normal order.. Dont Chop here and there.. Just leave everything in place and everything Would be FINE... -
Dun see any need for this. Such old rts have certain 'exclusive' as they are the only rt connection from certain placesOriginally posted by iveco:How about Services 14 & 61? Can they be improved? -
Don't get mixed up with the meaning of "headway". Headway in our context here means the time difference in waiting between bus A and B. For example service 161 has a headway of 14 to 17 mins.Originally posted by SBST390:yes.. i agree with that... the ECP link cuts travelling time by lots... it is only compensated by the roundabout trips in taman jurong.

From what you mentioned, service 30 is 100 mins per bus, while service 51 is 120 mins per bus.
You should have used "journey time" or "travelling time" instead. -
I seriously think that the bus journey for 51 and 61 are too long winded.
51 shud be chopped into 2 service, say,
A - Jrg east to NBR
B - NBR to Hougang
As for 61:
A - Bt Batok to HBF
B - Shenton Way to Eunos (Shenton way cos there's no 'vacancy' for another bus service at HBF)
I think some other services shud be shorten too, maybe 961. I feel that the route for 51 and 61 are a tad 'extreme'. Jus my 2 cents worth..
