 but back to topic.. i'm not shentonn clone. :)  anyway, since the distance between Bt Merah and RedHill MRT station quite far. sbs should operate new service between Bt Merah and Redhill Stn ? Maybe 132M? terminate at Redhill Stn.

 

and i wonder why Potong Pasir town got only 1 service? low demand or?

 

 

Potong Pasir one very simple~ which ward is it under?

Sigh, how I wish the bus 857 can start earlier, like 7:30am, for me to make it to work on-time at 8:30am?

Hmm...hmm...hm...857 starts at 5:30am? :S

Looking at the one from St Mikes, I dunno, but I think the route can be improved, hmm..

Instead of starting from Ah Hood Road, start from Whampoa Drive. Turn into Jln Bahagia. From Jln Bahagia turn into Jln Rajah. Then Ah Hood Rd. Then Balestier Road, then CTE.

I just had to reply~

me:

1 bus to int in my town

1 bus to mrt station in my town

minimum 15 minutes to mrt station/int. maximum 40 minutes.

 

no nightriders, no premiums (one smrt one coming soon...), no chinatown direct, no cityshopper, no bus svcs after midnight (last bus from the nearest int ends at 11.30pm). nearest NR is 2.4km away.

dun think anyone can get better :D.

I got bus concession,but there's many routes to woodlands once i took 851 to yishun area,but dunno which bus from there is fastest...

Usually i take these buses : 851 -> 969, but it's damn crowded in the morning when it comes from tampines...

 

851 to the stop before yishun int. take 169. the only way..i also do that :).

Should I write a letter to SBST to suggest them to use DM3500s on 506? Its not that I want or what, but because it has a 30 min freq so BC has to keep to the time more tightly than other services, and DM3500s can speed better on PIE to keep up the time and more pleasent expreience with the DM3500 on highway.

Right :\~ I'm sure SBST will be very happy about their drivers speeding.

I think there is a Service 167 from Sebangwang to the CDB area but if only 167 were to extanct this part would do

Sembawang Vista
Sembawang Dr
Sembawang Cres
Sembawang Way
Canberra Rd

:)

Check out my suggestion for 167/980 a few pages back :D..

Can't lah. My area only got NR1, no SBS Transit nightrider buses.

My area don't even have Night buses :(

The closest is NR1, 2.4km away...used to have NR9 here.

Yeah to form the crap that is now 265 and 268? OMG THAT IS SUCH A BRILLIANT IDEA. Imagine that, you go to the interchange and find that you will have to take bus 11 out to a crowded bus stop along another road and wait for a crowded bus to arrive and pick you up.

Anyway I have a new feeder suggestion for St Michael's estate.

Service 299: St Michael's Term to Tan Tock Seng Hospital (loop)

Whampoa Rd
Whampoa Dr (non-stop)
Jln Bahagia
Kim Keat Rd
Jln Rajah
Ah Hood Rd
Balestier Rd
Shan Rd (B01 Renci Hosp. and medicare ctr)
Irrawaddy Rd (B01 TTSH)
Sinaran Dr (B01 TTSH)
Moulmein Rd
Jln Tan Tock Seng (B01 Communicable Disease Ctr 2, B03 TTSH Wards)
Tan Tock Seng Link (non-stop)
Irrawaddy Rd (B02 Ministry of Home Affairs)
Balestier Rd
Ah Hood Rd (B02 Bef Tai Gin Rd)
Jln Rajah
Kim Keat Rd
Whampoa Rd

Alot of buses serve the area around TTSH (i.e. within walking distance) from St Mikes.  

jayh272416: AMK already had 261-269, but were merged :).

And I didnt know they changed name O_O. On the map it still says "Woodbridge Hospital, Inst. of Mental Health"

Hehe, only took it once, so I can't remember. And yeah, I'm very sure its called Buangkok Green Medical Park~ Hougangnites can confirm that for me? :D

Whoops I forgot that theres no evening peak svc, sry again!

New service 411: Feeder: Bishan Int to Pemimpin Estate (loop)

Bishan Int
Bishan St 13
Bishan St 11
Bishan Rd
Jln Binchang
Binchang Walk
Clover Way
Binchang Rise
Clover Way
Jln Pemimpin
Bishan St 21
Bishan St 11
Bishan St 13
Bishan Int

May need to transfer some Darts to AMDEP for this service as my limited knowledge tells me that the roads there are not too big.

Pls comment and rate!

Lol. I'd be jumping for joy if this came true :P. But the demand for this route might not be good...Yeah and the roads are not big unless you're talking about serving Binchang Drive and Pemimpin Drive only. (i.e. Bishan Int, Bishan Rd, St 22, Marymount Rd, Jln Pemimpin, Jln Binchang...then somehow loop back, but i don't see how is it possible :P)

Would be nice to amend this to serve Shunfu Estate/St22 also.

You can check out SBS Transit's website for the arrival timings.

36's timetable is not available on SBS Transit's website.

One alternative I can think of is IRIS, but I don't think its what TS wants...

Originally posted by Oceane:

It's too long already... the 1 direction trip for Service 52 is already 1 hour ++ and to extend it to Sengkang it'd be like another 51.

Got 1 hr so jialat ah :(~

I take it at night when I take 52 from JE to Thomson Rd...approx 20-30 min~

Originally posted by off_service:

I like the idea of extending 167 into Yishun (in fact I hoped for it). It will not only enhance travel to Yishun but also increase the passenger loads for the service. For Yishun there's one two ways to get to Orchard, by the long winded 171 or the packed trains. The amended 167 will give another choice for passengers going to town.

Lol. Now only if SMRT's route planners read this thread ;)~ Or maybe someone free enough could write to them~!

167 can be amended to ply the following route:

Sembwang Vista

Canberra Rd

Canberra Link

Sembawang Rd (or even cutting into Yishun then Lentor Rd, then YCK)

Upp Thomson Rd

Yio Chu Kang Rd

AMK Ave 6

Marymount Road

Thomson Road (not turning into Marymount Lane like 74 and 852 but going straight)

Then plying its original route.

 

What do you guys think? :) Firstly, 980 is duplicating its route outright from Novena onwards. Also, there are alot of services at Upp Thomson Rd and Thomson Road that ply almost the same route at 167 (by SBS and even to the same location, Bukit Merah Int).

Mediacorp is along Lornie Road/Thomson Road. Depending on where you're coming from.

You have to walk in quite a distance.
