According to LTA's Facebook page, 119 will be extended to Punggol Temp Int via Punggol Field and Punggol Way and there will be a new 860 from Yishun Int to Yoshun Ring Road Khatib MRT station via the eastern part of Yishun Ring Road.
Also there will be new services from Punggol to Bishan, Hougang Central to Serangoon and city area to Tampines in which the sv number is still not known yet.
Good introductions according to me.
I am sure people in Punggol West are happy with the introduction as before this there was only 43 that came via Sengkang bridge. 119 has become more of an intra-town service though it goes all the way to Kovan.
It was also high time that Yishun Ring Road received a new service considering the increase in population there.
Can you guess the route for services
Bishan --> Punggol
Tampines --> CBD
Hougang --> Serangoon Int
Let me guess...
Service 50 from Bishan to Punggol via Ang Mo Kio Ave 8, YCK Road, Sengkang West/East Ave, Sengkang East Road. Full AMDEP control.
Service 68 from Tampines to Shenton Way via Bedok and Marina Bay Sands.
For Hougang to Serangoon, likely to use 11x series.
Seriously, Sengkang West anf Fernvale estate need a new trunk service to link to AMK and YCK MRT. Having a service 163/163M is not enough to cope with the growing population in Fernvale.

68 is unlikely to be used...
And yea, Sengkang east deserve more svc. Perhaps a svc by SMRT to the north-west?
bus 163 should start from sengkang to shenton way instead of ended at toa payoh, also sbst should pull 86 to service sengkang west also. i think LTA should extend 57 to punggol, via Ang Mo Kio Ave 8, YCK Road, Sengkang West/East Ave, Sengkang East Road. Full AMDEP control.
119 and 860 lol...
Still remember Tibs introduced service 860 from Sengkang to loop at Hougang St 21 in mid 1998. The current service 119 resembles that 860's route.
Anyway back to topic. For service 119's route extenstion, likely to have fleet add of 2 -3 buses. Hopefully those former service 27's Euro 4 K230UBs come in perm.

57 remain as where it is. I would rather 56 get extended to Punggol instead as the current route is rather short.

i think the route from Bishan to PG, will be via AMK Ave 8/Ave 3 then CTE, Yio Chu Kang Rd, Jalan Kayu, sengkang East/West WAY
from HG to Serangoon , should be using identical route as Sv 43A....
HG to Serangoon?
WTF is LTA thinking? got many buses from HG to SGN already and got the NEL also. Dun tell me they want to relieve 147 loads ah..by duplicating 147???
My guess:
50 Punggol - Bishan
Via, Punggol Place, Central, Way, Sengkang East Rd, Anchorvale St, Anchorvale Rd, Sengkang East/West Ave, Sengkang West Rd, Yio Chu Kang Rd, CTE, AMK Ave 5, Ave8, Bishan Rd, Street 14, St13, St11, St 13..
20 Tampines - Shenton Way
Via
Tamp Ctrl 1, Ave 5, Simei Ave, Xilin Ave, ECP, Beach Rd, Esplanade Dr, Fullerton Rd, Collyer/Raffles Quay, Shenton Way, Palmer Rd
My Guess
50 Punggol - Bishan
Punggol -> Sengkang East/West -> Jalan Kayu -> Yio Chu Kang Road -> Ang Mo Kio Ave 8 -> Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 -> Bishan Road -> Bishan Int
objective is to ease 163's load from Fernvale to YCK.
IMO.. Hougang to Serangoon is very very redundant!

Hg to serangoon is not redundant. Or else why they keep on adding buses for sv43??
Originally posted by lemon1974:Good. Withdraw sv163!!
doubt so. u go see the demand... haha. its very high over that stretch of road.
Originally posted by lemon1974:Hg to serangoon is not redundant. Or else why they keep on adding buses for sv43??
it's redundant because 101 107 147 are already serving these 2 places.
43's main demand i guess is Serangoon?

Not I say one. Ask mr smb128

But ppl are still complaining. One more service is better. Even my house got 4 services go to amk int. I won't mind another new service going to the int as well. The more the merrier. Shorter wait for bus n higher chance of getting seats

Bishan full already. you want move int like serangoon?
lets see sbst/lta sort out this
Judging from this, it seems like the newly registered citaros should be
AMDEP: 2>unless use 6205M>dont take away my 6205M!!!!
HGDEP: 1-2
the others should be in west destricts.
Wrights probably is AMDEP/SLBP
