  Hi Mr lemon1974, regarding this, I have a suggestion. Well, I have been thinking of this ever since the number of posts at the Bedok Bus Interchange thread exceeds the number of posts at the Joo Koon Bus Interchange thread.

  Since now both threads have around the same number, maybe we should specialize a bit, by having East-only (including Woodlands) discussions at the Bedok Bus Interchange thread and having West-only (including Bukit Merah) discussions at the Joo Koon Bus Interchange thread.

  Regarding Yew Tee Bus Services, we may want to continue discussions at the Joo Koon Bus Interchange thread.

  Hi mr jurongwestresident, no need segregate in this manner. Too confusing. You say east only but include woodlands? It will add on to confusion. Just discuss in the respective thread if necessary. Furthermore, sometimes it will be related and cross-over in the midst of discussions. Cheers.

  That should be no reason why it should not stop, right. Anyway, late but good.

  I hope they make sv 64/139 call at Dhoby Ghaut MRT stop on Penang road. It is a lost opportunity for ppl from NSL/NEL/CCL who want to take this service.

  If you observe all buses from the stop turn into the extreme left lane. So easy to turn.

  
  You will need a B-signal for buses to get out of the bus bay and straight onto the left lane for that to happen. Something like that at Victoria Park and Canning Bridge transfer stations in Perth.

  A trunk route (either new or by extension) for Yew Tee would be very useful for the residents and reduce the reliance on the MRT.

  Otherwise, a feeder route from Yew Tee (either new or existing) should at least connect with the Downtown Line at Bukit Panjang in future.

  
  BPS1 renumber 973 and loop @ CCK St 62 in the opposite direction of 307. If can ply CCK Way where the Kranji Camps are even better.

  Tower Transit keen on SG bus sector? What will they call their SG operation? Lion Transit? I think more likely they must partner a local consortium to run bus services. Hopefully it would be WTS. I think all South and West bus routes should go to them. These include bus rotues from St Mikes, MCT/SWT/NBR, Bt Merah, Buona Vista, Clementi and Jurong side. By the way, Tower's Australian parent Swan Transit lost Kalamunda back in early 2013.

  Note that the original press release did not depict 502/502A as Express services...this is what I feel curious about until they release an update.
