Press releases from Bus Companies, Part 2

Wah! Very mean sia. Better if it could expand.Originally posted by tranquilice:4 berths for 8 services.
I believe that to the left of UEC there are large spaces for SBST to conduct the expansion. -
Well once I have the time I would do it.Originally posted by PhyrePhox: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.
Better take pictures of that place before it's long gone. -
Yup, 43 will lighten the load of 55!Originally posted by 105090: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
-
sad that it actually doesnt go thru there.Originally posted by 105090:mixed reactions.
seems 59 will follow 29 route via netharavon rd into changi village. sounds promising! -
No, from the map on the poster, it is clearly shown that service 59 will not ply Cranwell Rd and Netheravon Rd.Originally posted by 105090:seems 59 will follow 29 route via netharavon rd into changi village. sounds promising! -
No, the shops (Blk 443) are beside the interchange and not in the interchange itself.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. The shops are actually in the interchange itself. The only problem that it seems to be a bit small. -
AMK Int (AMK Ave 3) was torn down in 2002 and Toa Payoh Interchange was demolished to make way for HDB Hub & an air-con interchange in 1998.Originally posted by PhyrePhox: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.
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. -
Was it under SERS together with Blks 436-438?Originally posted by tranquilice:No, the shops (Blk 443) are beside the interchange and not in the interchange itself. -
Clementi interchange may seems small, but it has 5 berths for up to 15 services. Currently, it has 12 SBST services, 1 SMRT service, Turf City shuttle and Ngee Ann Poly shuttle (both share the same queue). There's only one vacant queue left at berth 4.Originally posted by PhyrePhox: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.

How does the former AMK interchange resembles Clementi interchange? -
What is your reason for expansion? UEC terminal holding up to 8 services is already good enough.Originally posted by SGEMP:Wah! Very mean sia. Better if it could expand.
I believe that to the left of UEC there are large spaces for SBST to conduct the expansion.
Do the residents along UEC Rd and those from Bedok Camp 2 need more than 10 bus services to ply there? (including services 10 and 14, and a maximum of 8 services from UEC ter) -
Old AMK resembles old Toa Payoh and Bedok int. Clementi seems to be unique.Originally posted by PhyrePhox:Do you know which other interchange resembles Clementi Int most? I think the old AMK one does. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Not service 55 but service 76.Originally posted by musli_bar:Yup, 43 will lighten the load of 55! -

So Sv 59 would use PIE straight aft TAP...
It would be a useful sv on accessibility during AA2006 -
Continue discussion of the three new service here. Its getting messy. Thank you
-
Oh.. I could have sworn it resembled some interchange, at least in the past. Maybe some past torn-down terminal or something. Or I must have been dreaming. Alright.. won't continue on this.. getting really off-topic.Originally posted by kc_leung:Old AMK resembles old Toa Payoh and Bedok int. Clementi seems to be unique. -
It's both 55 and 76...hougang residents has another bus to bring them to MPOriginally posted by tranquilice:Not service 55 but service 76. -

In Celebration of Hari Raya Puasa - From 24 Oct Now Til 25 Nov 2005
http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/whatsnew_21October2005.asp -
Woah, SBST recently has lots of promotions to attract ppl to take their buses. That's cool as I can get vouchers while taking a bus.
-
if SBST was more daring, they shud have teamed up with some shops at Geylang Serai and offer promotions for passengers on all services passing by Geylang Serai. but this case, Kg Glam? even i, being a Malay, wouldnt go there except to buy food to break fast. the offer for Deepavali is for all services passing by Little India. but for Hari Raya, only C3.
-
I agree with you. It really gives the mood and atmosphere of festive seasons with promotions put at bus stops
-
