Originally posted by service_238:logistically they already dont have enough buses. (maybe enough for 1 route) What makes you think they are able to introduce so many services at the current capacity?
unless the services run around at 30-40 min freq. furthermore the style of the routes is very un- SMRT. why would they introduce to TPY when theres 966 and to PSR when theres 969.

According to the current "rules", the bus has to exit at the nearest expressway exit (PIE at Pioneer Rd Nth) and reach St 92, like that how to have passengers?
Unless it's to grab NTU students business, which I also think it's redundant (currently have 172 at Jln Bahar to CCK which is quite fast)

Woodlands and SBW currently doesnt have Overnight parking. On top of that, there is still a Geylang Lor 1 Terminal.
If that is still not enough, worst come to worst...
Heavy Vehicle Park around Singapore.

maybe we'll have WRIBP.
I believe there is enough space around the Yishun Industrial Estates to accomodate a Yishun Depot or YIDEP. There is a very huge piece of land between Yishun and Sembawang. However it could be used to develop more housing estates soon.
Currently the only apartments close to Yishun Industrial Estates and beyond into the forested area is the Yishun Emerald/Sapphire.
