of course interchange has to be air conditioned. The "prince" wants to air con the whole of Singapore.

Yeah around there

Yishun Interchange space so small, hope that they can enlarge it.
-
will the temp and later on the new interchange be DD friendly?
-
Yishun current interchange cannot accomodate DD?
-
39, 85, 853, 856, 859 may well loop at Yishun
the rest of the routes too long to loop
these days so many weird SMRT routes 850E, 971E, 982E which don't start from interchange

That is because the E buses is to cater for the peak hour crowd to CBD around the different town. 856 is already considered looping at Woodlands btw coz they just stop at alighting berth tap card and go off. 853 to GL1 can loop but 853 to UEC cant loop

Cannot, because of some stupid shelters built that make no sense at all.

It will be DD friendly for sure. Whether SMRT gets DDs or not, it will not make the mistake again to block the possibility of having them.

39 can loop and also have 2 peak hour split shift DDs once it starts looping at Yishun.

Maybe the DD-friendly point is not even targeted at SMRT; SBST can make use of it well to deploy split DD on 39; its KUBs are not really coping Seletar crowd well IMHO.

-
what about the open space west of YIS? (i meant the the area next to Yishun MRT)

that spot is great if it's not slated for soon to be condominiums yet.

HDB launches sale of site for new integrated development in Yishun
SINGAPORE: Yishun will soon have a new integrated development. It will boast an air-conditioned bus interchange, residences, commercial retail spaces and the first community club in a mall.
This is part of the Housing and Development Board's (HDB) Remaking Our Heartland Programme for the town.
The site has been put up for tender by the HDB.
Resident Nicky Singh said: "I've been staying here for so many years, and now it's upgrading here. I feel very proud of it."
The plan was announced by Foreign Affairs Minister K Shanmugam, who is also MP for Nee Soon GRC, at the launch of the "Transforming Yishun: Rejuvenating the Town Centre" exhibition on Friday.
Mr Shanmugam said: " As I said, it will make facilities more accessible, new eateries, new places for people to go to, new facilities. And I think people will also work out, it is going to increase the value of their own properties."
This is the fourth integrated development with a bus interchange by HDB, and it will also be the largest.
HDB said the tender will close in September, and the project is expected to be completed the latest by 2020.
Ang Hak Seng, chief executive director of the People’s Association, said: "Our cost fee (for the new community club) will remain the same and will remain affordable for residents. We are able to achieve the cost-effective cost fee because of the volume and also because of the synergy with commercial space."
Proposals to rejuvenate Yishun began in 2007. Several projects have been completed or are underway.
Projects include a 15.5-kilometre cycling path, of which the first phase spanning 1.7 kilometres was completed in March 2011.
The second phase links up the remaining part of Yishun and is slated for completion in 2015.
