  Oh, i see. Thanks :D

  nothing to do w/ shortage of buses... in fact, for short haul rts doing jumpbus is wasting bus resources and wasting headways... it's because of some constrains that jumpbus is done on some bus svs... dun claim to analyse things w/o looking at entire picture...

  But the way they maintain their buses is HORRIFIC. 

  Over my 6-7 years stay there I have NEVER came past a bus that I can say is even maintained in standard.

  171 can start from Sembawang terminate at New bridge rd in future

  A new svc 883 from Sembawang looping at Sembawang estate.

  981 convert to full day and loop at Senoko with a bit of enhance

  Yishun should stay with current svc

  178 to start from Bukit Batok looping at Jurong West st 75 via outside Boon Lay interchange.Can kope a bit of 181 pax.

  180 revert back to Bpj looping at BNL 

  700 extend to Woodlands/Marsiling

  Marsiling new terminal and a few WRI svc can start there.

  926 can convert to full day

  Withdraw all RWS svc..Now lose $$$$ instead of profits.Crowded only on Fridays and weekends

  926 no point keeping full day also... based on the situation... lol 981 can become a proper full day service to supplement 856.. but issue is, the headways likely not going to be very good... and after 2200 shouldn't operate anymore...
• carbikebus

  981 can loop around Senoko where 856 doesn't plies and agreed the hours should be revised from 0545-2145 during Mon-Fri 0545-1545 during Saturdays and no operation on Sundays/PHs

  Coming 2014 when Lor 1 slated to close I feel its better for svc 11/175,980/985 to end at Sims Place terminal.961 can cut short to Marina Centre.853 can loop at Tanjong Katong

• sbst275

  29 Nov 12, 12:23

  981 can help 856 bet Sembawang & Senoko to some extent... more because dun see any pt to incur so many 856 buses esp during weekend... the main loading pt is bet Senoko & Sembawang/ Yishun...

  Upp East Coast till Marine Parade not much catchment and with 853C lousy freq ppl rather take SBST buses.Siglap Rd is ideal or best Sims Place and those heavy vehicle lots need to kope.

  Sims Place Terminal has only 5 slots. How to accommodate so many services? May be 64 and 175.
