  I doubt there is space for 11 bendies. The passenger queueing shelter and berths doesn't seems to be up yet. The most 2-3 bendy lots only.

  That terminal was built by SBS. Feeders 343 & 344 operated from there. Also, no Superbuses ever ternminated there for some reason. If Route 5 wasn't handed to Tibs there might have been chances for such buses to serve on this route.

  of course they can even standardise the movement... all thanks to the monster length of bendy buses and the working space available... Bendy bus's uniquely Tibs.. live with it... lol

  Only see 4 slots.

  The other side is too narrow to park bendies.

  Think this place will face very heavy jams and messy queues if too many bendies

  9 bendy lots 11 rigid lots excluding none marking parking sign

  i bet they didnt do a swept path test for articulated vehicles where the bendy lots are.

  rigid vehicles no problem.

  Seriously after viewing this place just now I wonder how the bendies can roam freely in this bus terminal?I see no problem if only 2 service use bendy but there are 4 service that use bendy in their fleets,176 majority bendies about 12,180 about 10,184 about 12 and 700 is 2 and mind you all these service are short distance one...Too much for temporary terminal.

  SMRT sure should be thinking of all these problems while going in for more bendies. Should stick to purchasing DDs this time around. IT can think of getting bendies for WDL / Yis if required in 2018, once all current bendies are phased out.

  Priority should be to substitute all trunk route bendies with DDs and keep the remaining bendies for WDL feeder / townlink.

  If they use the strict standard, I guess only 4 or 6 bendy lots would be drawn up... The issue is the criss crossing on in and out movement at the junction...

  LTA trying to squeeze bendies out?
