If the situation is very bad everyday, my guess would be some services will not call at Clementi MRT in future, but instead call inside the new interchange alighting berth once it starts.
My guess being Service 14, 147, 166, since they run parallel with the MRT from Dover MRT, it is unlikely for people to transfer to the MRT anyway. .
Can only say the bus stop might be upgraded for all bus svs.
North Buona Vista Rd (Opp Buona Vista Stn)
Stagger or bus - bus hub?

More ppl transfer along Commonwealth Ave than along North Bouna Vista Rd.
Only 92 does not stop along Commonwealth Ave, so there's no point to build a bus-bus hub/ staggered bus stop there.
Another possible place is Opp Orchard MRT (Orchard Boulevard). They recently pulled down a tree just after the bus stop.

tis BNV is more over MRT crowd.
But when CCL4/ 5 commence, maybe situation is diff
An idea like this would work.....without bendies.
Below is the list of jams near Clementi area or Bukit Batok and Jurong area.

2)Clementi Avence 6 from AYE and Commonwealth Ave West to PIE (Weekdays Night only)
3)Commonwealth Ave West to Clementi Avence 3to CP 20(Jam all the way to Clementi Avence 6 or Clementi Avence 2
or from Clementi Avence 6 till Commonwealth West to CP 20)
4)Clementi Avence 2 goes towards Commonwealth Avence West from West Coast Road
5)West Coast Road from West Coast Highway all the way to Clementi Avence 2 to Commonwealth Avence West

The current road condition in Clementi is bad enough because
1.There are a lot fo private condo buses parking in the bus stops---Eg,The Chevrons,The Botonia,The Infinti,The Carellia (spelling might be error)
There will be 5 private buses at one time and CAUSED JAMS.
2.There are railings as you had mentioned.
3.The taxi did not obey the principle as there only wirtten MAX 3 TAXIS but it can go all the way up to 10 taxis
4.There are some inconsiderate drivers who tend to park/wait the cars there as some might just buy food or deposit/withdraw cash so they park thier cars
at LANE 1.By doing so,it had taken up the Lane 1 with the Taxis as well and Priavte buses
and dont worry,it had been jamming there since 6 years ago in 2005 as I lived there so long I had get used to it.So with the New Clementi Bus Interchange,
it will make no difference even if it skipped the current old bus stops and go to interchange straight away.
Our conditions were like [email protected] road got 3 lanes.SAME AS OURS and jams all over.Anyway we did say we will ike to have 1-2 more lanes so it has 5 lanes but it is rather
impossible due to too cramped.
Originally posted by Bus Stopping:Some updates, the railings as I have mentioned previously have been shorten to about 1 bus length. The bus stop should now be able to accomodate about 4 to 5 buses.
Really I see the same thing oly 3 buses at one time or 2.They did not really remove it.

Go down to the bus stop to take a look when u have a chance, there's the previous railing marks which are covered with a new layer of pavement.
jurong town hall opp JE lib & JE lib bus-stops ?
usually the one opp lib is ppl from other svcs (like 78 79 143 51 97 176 197 etc) take bus 198
for JE lib bus-stop is the vice versa. thats what i observe
Seriously Lakeside Stn bus stop should be widened. It has to cater to Jurong East Ave 1 & Taman Jurong residents.

Well Engboki, what would you expect when you have 17 basic services calling at 1 bus stop? Somemore the removal of the shelters by the roadside and the new carpark entrance has reduced the area which buses can alight passengers.
There's two ways to get this fixed, either lengthen the bus stop (which cant be done) or reduce the number of services there.
As mentioned in previous posts by other fellow forumers, the second option can be done when the interchange opens, and 8/17 of the services can then be diverted into the interchange instead.
And hmm, before they removed the railings, it could accomdate 2 buses. It appears to me that 4 can losely fit into the bus stop, 2 boarding and the other 2 behind alighting after the railings are removed? Unless bc/sl leaves a big gap or when 106 comes....

I think i should add a little word to the sentance so that you can understand it better as it seems u cant.

Better to wait for MOT to shift their offices to BNV. Apparently they proposed to have a proper bus station in that building. Not sure if this project is still on the cards.
Buona Vista seriously need an Interchange.Ghim Moh terminal is not relevant nowadays,So dangerous that side.Many side swerve has occured before not to mention some goondoos park at the lot just to buy meal at the market
