So I wanted to ask:Originally posted by sinicker:my take on 59's route is...
Bishan Int
Bishan St 11
Bishan Rd Arrow duplicates 88 to TPY Lor 6
TPY Lor 1
" Lor 6 Arrow transfers frm MRT/other svcs at bus stop near TPY Int
Jln Toa Payoh Arrow monastery, st. andrew's jnr sch, Siemens building
Eunos Link Arrow duplicates 15 up to bus stop before junction where 8/15/58 turns left to Bedok Nth Rd Ext.
Bedok Reservoir Rd Arrow duplicates 21/65 up to Tamp Safra
Tamp Ave 1/2 Arrow duplicates 8/17/18/28 up to Tamp East CC
Tamp Ave 7/Loyang Ave Arrow duplicates 9
turns left into changi village rd.
i know it is kinda messy. sorry.
Is it probable that svc 59 would pass by my Damai Sec Sch given such routing? -
as i said, it will duplicate 21/65 up to Tamp Safra. so, yes.Originally posted by SGEMP:So I wanted to ask:

Actually, duplication is not really the issueOriginally posted by sinicker:as i said, it will duplicate 21/65 up to Tamp Safra. so, yes.
Because the bus uses entire Ave 2, something the 2 svs would not be able to serve -
yup, true. which is what my schmates(i'm in tpjc btw) living in Bedok Reservoir Rd are gonna take advantage of when the services starts.Originally posted by sbst275:Actually, duplication is not really the issue

Currently on Sv 8, but it has to make a detour through TPOriginally posted by sinicker:yup, true. which is what my schmates(i'm in tpjc btw) living in Bedok Reservoir Rd are gonna take advantage of when the services starts. -
As for Sv 52
If it really wants to help Sv 74 in loading, frequency somehow have to be abt 8-10 mins with ADD -
yeah, anyway, the express sector isnt really that "express" at all. when i was still in Bedok North Sec, i had a choice of taking 15/21 home at Tampines. the bus stop aft the mosque.. when 15/21 comes together, i would take 15 and i take notice, at the Safra bus stop, 21 would be ahead of me!Originally posted by sbst275:Currently on Sv 8, but it has to make a detour through TP -

They just detour 8 and 15 to serve TP -
Just now went to the bus stop near to my Damai Sec Sch already.Originally posted by sinicker:as i said, it will duplicate 21/65 up to Tamp Safra. so, yes.
Seen and read that service 59 notice already.
Yes you are right. Thank You.
Just that I did not bring my cam today to take down that notice. -
4 berths for 8 services.Originally posted by SGEMP:So how many berths are in UEC in total? -
TL guide 2006 states for service 980 that passengers cannot board but can alight at this terminal.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:Admiralty Rd West Ter was converted into a no-alighting and boarding terminus. -
Reversed to that of Clementi where west-bound buses from Commonwealth Ave West cannot alight passengers.Originally posted by tranquilice:TL guide 2006 states for service 980 that passengers cannot board but can alight at this terminal.

Clementi interchange only has one alighting berth. To minimise congestion at the alighting area, these mentioned services do not alight passengers at the interchange. Furthermore, it is just a short walk to the interchange from the alighting bus stop.Originally posted by PhyrePhox:Reversed to that of Clementi where west-bound buses from Commonwealth Ave West cannot alight passengers. -
In addition, Clementi - Upp Thomson connection will be faster with service 52 compared to taking service 165.Originally posted by PhyrePhox:Residents of Clementi Road and Toh Guan Road, and students of SIM and Ngee Ann Poly will really rejoice now that they can get to the MRT with less waiting. -
I'm sure svc 52 to J-8 is much faster than 156.Originally posted by tranquilice:In addition, Clementi - Upp Thomson connection will be faster with service 52 compared to taking service 165. -
It's even faster if service 52 ply Bishan St 21.Originally posted by iveco:I'm sure svc 52 to J-8 is much faster than 156. -
mixed reactions.
firstly, 43 will give me another link to paya lebar from Yio Chu Kang Rd, and one direct link to Maribne Parade. last time have to take 3 buses to reach MP. my bet is 43 will do better than 52 and 59 as 43 passes by PGL SKG HG to MP, all those high density young housing estates
52 also may benefit me, can take from clementi Rd to MacRitchie then to AMK, and bypass Bt Timah Schools b ut then it goes into sin ming ave and bishan st22.. the killer section experience on sv162!
59 also proposed well by going via toa payoh centre, unlike 58 and tampines. seems 59 will follow 29 route via netharavon rd into changi village. sounds promising! -
Same as New Bridge Rd TerOriginally posted by tranquilice:TL guide 2006 states for service 980 that passengers cannot board but can alight at this terminal. -
same as Changi Village Terminal for service 2 as well

In 2006, Clementi Int will be torn down since there will be a temporary interchange just opposite the current one.Originally posted by tranquilice:Clementi interchange only has one alighting berth. To minimise congestion at the alighting area, these mentioned services do not alight passengers at the interchange. Furthermore, it is just a short walk to the interchange from the alighting bus stop. -
Yeah.. construction work has already started at the new site. They're digging out the ground now. A few months back, they were drilling into sites around the current interchange and were doing some surveying.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:In 2006, Clementi Int will be torn down since there will be a temporary interchange just opposite the current one.
Better take pictures of that place before it's long gone. -
Clementi Interchange is quite a nice place because I can buy a wafer, eat and at the same time wait for my bus. The shops are actually in the interchange itself. The only problem that it seems to be a bit small.
-
Like this serve lesser area mahOriginally posted by tranquilice:It's even faster if service 52 ply Bishan St 21. -
Haha.. tell me about it.. I remembered this place since I was a kid. It's the reason its quite small that it cannot take so many routes. I remember they always have to juggle the routes if they wanna put something new.Originally posted by tanjun:Clementi Interchange is quite a nice place because I can buy a wafer, eat and at the same time wait for my bus.

I wonder how a new interchange will be any bigger, unless they can hide the buses somewhere else.
Do you know which other interchange resembles Clementi Int most? I think the old AMK one does. Correct me if I'm wrong.
