It should just be a peak hour service otherwise the route will not be profitable.
Pasir Ris is ok, but for Tamp you already have svc 9, 19, 59... -
Anyway thanks for the thoughts everyone...

Maybe SBST/SMRT can do this:
11 > Extend to Eunos Int
175 > Extend to Sims Ter
853 > Extend to Eunos Int
961 > Extend to Eunos Int
980 > Extend to loop at Geylang Drive
985 > Extend to loop at Geylang Drive -

Well, but for 11/175/853/980/985 I agree!

Should be alright since 853 journey time is comparable to 961... Don't forget 853C is even longer than 961C...

Yeah...
But my point is that 961 goes through WDL Rd, Upp Bt Timah Rd, Dunearn Rd, Farrer Rd, Queensway, Jln Bt Merah, Chinatown, Raffles Blvd(Sundays), Beach Rd, Kallang Bahru and Lor 1 Geylang, which is one big loop instead of 853 just going Southeast to reach GL1 and Sims Ave, Tg Katong, Marine Parade and Upp East Coast Ter(Sundays), which is more reasonable than 961 going through North-West(BPJ), West(Dunearn Rd), South-West(Farrer Rd), South(Jln Bt Merah), South-East(from Chinatown onwards)and then East(GL1).
-
In conclusion, 853 goes South-East, more reasonable then 961 going through one big loop...

True, but thinking that at Raffles Blvd area, there aren't any bus services that link to Eunos Int, thats why i recommended it to end at Eunos Int instead...

Where will the svc 50 berth be at Bishan and Punggol?
I think at Bishan, it will be with svc 59 (the last berth).
For Punggol, it should be with svc 85

The way I see it, only 2 services will go to Sims Plc (Unless they have a plan to widen SIms Pl Terminal) that is svc 11 & 961. There is no point to extend svc 11 further.svc 175 & svc 980 to Eunos, svc 985 to Marina Ctr via Beach Rd.
svc 853...if loading to Upp East Coast is good during weekdays, might as well end there.

Sims Place Terminal has only 5 slots. Out of 5, most of the times 3 slots are taken by svc 64. There are still 2 slots. I would suggest 175 take these two slots.svc 11, 853 can start from Eunos Int, while 961 route can be shortened to Marina Center.
svc 980, 985 should loop at Lor 1 Geylang.
-
Opp Sims place can park another 6 lots
-
980/985 to Eunos 961 to marina ctr
-
So then may be in addition to svc 64, Sims Place Terminal can accommodate svc 11, 175 and 980.
Only 985 should be extended to Eunos, 853 should loop at Lor1 Geylang and 961 to Marina Center.

It's ok for terminal to be far from MRT cause its not interchange
-
Siglap should have an official terminal to give rest to BCs. It makes sense also considering there are 3 services looping there - 55, 135, 155.

A roadside terminal like Sims Place, Marina Center or Ghim Moh. -
Originally posted by vicamour:

I would suggest:
Marine Parade: svc 15, 76 (route modification), 966
Siglap: svc 55, 135, 155
Kovan: svc 113, 119, 132, 325
-
Siglap Rd no problem for roadside terminal but Marine Parade gonna be chaos with illegal parking etc
-
The Stadium Ter can put up to use now if extend 11 and 961...

I don't think Marine Parade Central will have a bus interchange until Marine Parade Central gets a MRT station. -

Can withdraw svc 11 and extend svc 175 to Stadium Ter. Svc 175 will take care of lost route of svc 11.

Not a good idea.Prefer 11 to be retained and extend to Harbourfront via MBS.
