SMRT introduces Service 882 in conjunction with opening of
Sembawang Bus Interchange on 20 November 2005
1) On Sunday, 20 November 2005, SMRT will launch Service 882 in conjunction with the opening of Sembawang Bus Interchange which is located along Sembawang Vista, next to Sembawang MRT Station. SMRT bus services 167, 859, 980 and 981 will also be amended to operate from the new interchange.
2) Three other services, namely 169, 856 and 962 will continue to serve Sembawang Town enroute from Woodlands and Yishun interchanges.
3) Introduction of Service 882 and amendments to services 167, 859, 980 and 981
Service 882: Sembawang Interchange to Sembawang Road End (loop)
Service 882 will serve the town from the interchange to Sembawang Park via Sembawang Vista, Canberra Road, Canberra Link and Sembawang Road.
Service 167: Sembawang Interchange to Bukit Merah Interchange
Service 167 will be relocated from Sembawang Road End Terminal to operate from the interchange. The service will ply Sembawang Vista, Canberra Road, Canberra Link, Sembawang Road and thereafter continue along its existing route to Bukit Merah Interchange.
Service 859: Sembawang Interchange to Yishun (loop)
The service will be extended to enhance connectivity between neighbourhoods 3, 4 and 5, and to provide access to the mosque, wet market, school and other amenities along Canberra Road. It will operate via Sembawang Vista, Canberra Road, Admiralty Lane, Admiralty Link, Sembawang Drive, Admiralty Drive, Sembawang Crescent and thereafter continue along its existing route to Yishun Interchange.
Service 980: Sembawang Interchange to Lorong 1 Geylang Terminal
Service 980 will be relocated from Admiralty Road West Terminal to operate from Sembawang Interchange. The service will ply Sembawang Vista, Sembawang Drive, Sembawang Avenue and thereafter continue along its existing route to Lorong 1 Geylang Terminal. Commuters using the bus stops along Canberra Road have access to Service 856.
Service 981: Sembawang Interchange to Senoko Industrial Estate
The service will be extended from Sembawang Way to Sembawang Interchange via Sembawang Drive and Sembawang Vista.
4) The adult fares on new Service 882 and amended services 167, 859, 980 and 981 are based on distance travelled. The guidelines on concession fares for senior citizens and children/students continue to apply.
5) The new Sembawang Bus Interchange, conveniently co-located with Sembawang MRT Station, will serve as an integrated transport hub where commuters can enjoy easy access to both bus and train services. The interchange will also replace the roadside terminals at Sembawang Road End and Admiralty Road West.
6) Information on the service changes will be disseminated to commuters through posters at bus stops of affected routes (click here to see map), service guides on board affected buses as well as service information boards at Sembawang Bus Interchange.
7) Commuters may contact Transitlink Hotline at 1800-2255663 or SMRT Customer Relations Centre at 1800- 3368900 for information on the service changes. -
Buses forum now got Gestapo mod. One oldie posted about Serangoon getting a new bus service even before Sembawang Interchange opens and his post was censored.Originally posted by Gordonator:shouldn't u be posting this in the BUS forum?
There was a thread on Sembawang Interchange nearing completion that was deleted because people started making all sorts of conjecturing with regards to bus service changes when that day comes. -
great

oh my goodness, look at 859!! making a major detour round sembawang estate, before proceeding to yishun, it's route overlaps somemore..
it's now looping at yishun interchange instead of terminating there? -
It is somehow like Sv 83 covering most part of PunggolOriginally posted by Edgar_Davids:oh my goodness, look at 859!! making a major detour round sembawang estate, before proceeding to yishun, it's route overlaps somemore..

Think they should introduce a feeder to serve around the estate instead of relying a trunk service -
I live in Sembawang, and frankly speaking, the bus interchange doesn't seem to look quite ready to open so soon as 20 Nov.
-
yes. moreover nowadays, like SBST/SMRT no longer introducing feeder services.. probably they expect people to take the bus for only a few bus stops (adult, 1st fare band) look at 83/112/113/859/ex-84.. now 882 following suit.Originally posted by gorby107:It is somehow like Sv 83 covering most part of Punggol

Seriously, why need feeder svs? Just adjust the dist from terminal to looping area within 4.0 fare stage can liaoOriginally posted by sinicker:yes. moreover nowadays, like SBST/SMRT no longer introducing feeder services.. probably they expect people to take the bus for only a few bus stops (adult, 1st fare band) look at 83/112/113/859/ex-84.. now 882 following suit. -
even the route of some trunk svs are shorter than feeder svcs
compare Sv 11, 68, 194 to feeder Sv 265 -
In my opinion, service 859 should be amended as a Sembawang - Sembawang Cres loop service and not going to Yishun due to duplication with service 856 between Canberra Rd and Yishun interchange. Service 856 can be slightly amended to serve Sembawang Vista, Dr and Way for passengers transferring to/from service 859.Originally posted by Edgar_Davids:oh my goodness, look at 859!! making a major detour round sembawang estate, before proceeding to yishun, it's route overlaps somemore..

Yes, service 859 will be looping at Yishun interchange. -
But making it like Sv 83 might be betterOriginally posted by tranquilice:In my opinion, service 859 should be amended as a Sembawang - Sembawang Cres loop service and not going to Yishun due to duplication with service 856 between Canberra Rd and Yishun interchange.
