  Not possible and bukit panjang is just a small town, there's not a need to merge 920 and 922 to form an intratown.

  Hard. They call on a lot of similar stops and meet each other on and off. Unless they integrate both services into 1... But it wun be intratown.

  Teck Whye and CCK ppl will kill you. and it increases the run time for 190 also.. and there's no parallel rd north of Bt Panjang Rd. the road network is screwed in a sense that Bt Panjang has one main road in and one main road out. There's no access road from the North west or north east side (expressway slip road directly home sounds good ah). So eventually everyone has to cluster themselves at bus stops along this road for a quick way to town. 

  
  There is an access road from the north west actually. Senja Way. They should intro a route to use that road lol.

  good luck in the morning peak. your 190 will be full by the BPP bus stop. and you will be causing jam inside the town as well since there's only one way in and out.

  That one really no choice. Have to walk for quite a distance even to the bus stop.
  
  For me I take about 10 mins to walk out of my house from Petir Road to the Bukit Panjang Road bus stop.
  
  Walking to Petir Road bus stop from my house takes me about 5 minutes although I live in Petir Road.

  Perm TIB737R is back on 922. 1st day in operation since the amended route takes effect on Sunday.

  Honestly. 30min runtime during off peak and 33min runtime during peak is enough. It is then possible to run at 20min headway. if SMRTB want to save its resources they should deploy their Toyota Coasters and from there add a split shift bus allowing headway to dip to about 13min

  I rather sit a small bus (Toyota Coaster) that comes every 13minutes than to wait 25minutes for a big one (O405).

  Do you mean 3 coasters on 922?
  
  Honestly speaking, I agree with your comment about deploying coasters.

  922 power lah! Anyway, I prefer they cut down 1 or 2 LRT trains and add in one more bus for 922.
  
  With better frequencies, like 13 - 18 minutes, similar to 920, I believe the passenger loading will increase by 20% - 30% for the service.
  
  I saw a lot of Greenridge Pri students walking to the 920 bus stop to take 920 that day when 922 was in its 1st day of operations. (922 bus stop is just outside the school and plies almost the same distance as 920.)
  
  Its probably due to the poor frequencies that parents rather walk further to take a bus that comes more regularly.
  
  Bukit Panjang residents don't really like to take the LRT. I have a friend who has a choice of 190 and LRT, both as far away as each other. But he prefer to cross the overhead bridge once and take 190, as compared to walking across the road to take LRT, and then has to climb the LRT station stairs twice.

  Agree. The LRT is more for people like students from Zhenghua Sec, Greenridge Sec and usually the train will get packed during school peak hours.
