You need to select the service you want to check at the bottom and then click the direction you want to check. Note that for loop services, you will get the same direction even if you clcik on both options.

Good layout. 229/17 stops should have been closer. 18/35 should have gone to end.

In the end maybe only Boon Lay and Toa Payoh Bus Interchanges have End-On berths if the existing old interchanges like Yishun, Bt Batok, Tampines convert to integrated hub and will all become sawtooth.Originally posted by carbikebus:

I don't quite like end-on berths. Take too much space, and reduce flexibility.

why 25 and 854 berth so far?
I can alr imagine the queue for 225 will stretch after the exit.
401's berth should swap with 25

i think its ok if 25/854 are far.. feeders should get first priority.. long distance travelers can walk to last berth.. I think 229/17 berths should be brought ahead.. and 35/9 can be pushed even further away as they have stop outside MRT.

New SBST Bedok Int flyer is out at Bedok Temp Int & Bt Merah Int.
-
Interchange with more than 20 services should have at least 15 ends berth IMO..All saw tooth berths always held up buses to enter and exit if 4-6 svc arrive at e same time
-
Nephew went to new int early in the morning, said that the int was spacious and bright...
Minister Lui Tuck Yew will be coming for opening ceremony...
New LG TV screens are used to show bus arrival timings
A little natural light, with the temp int just adjacent to the new int

Also not forgetting Harbourfront bus interchange - the only bus interchange with fully end-on berths. -

I like the natural lighting part. It is something that is missing in new bus interchanges nowadays which are all Integrated Transport Hubs and built inside buildings.A fusion of old into new.

The new Bedok Interchange looks smaller than the previous one.

how come the architects dont use glass panels so that pax at queueing berths can look out to see if the buses are arriving or not; just like Sengkang & TPY Int designs. i noticed with such designs; sometimes the 1st queueing pax dont even realise the bus has arrived esp the bus stops a little more backwards.

Yes... I posted a similar observation... this is ridiculous that they dont use glass panels.. even after observing the mess at Boon Lay.
At Bedok 225G DD came.. and while it was only 42 pax boarded... some aunties stood in the queue.. and 30+ pax waited in the queue thinking bus is full... but bus was just half seated.
In open temp interchange, 225G DDs would easily take 80+ pax... now ppl cannot see... and wait in queue like stupids... when DD is leaving stop empty. Isn't this totally ridiculous?

My guess will be that if full glass panels, it might not be able to hold the weight as the interchange is quite large in area, unlike Serangoon, though my thoughts are the same as yours in the usage of glass panal

My guess is that SBST don't like the entire bus park to be seen in the int as it deosn't look very nice that way. Just my guess, may be a ridiculous one.

they can always design half-height glass panels like Sengkang Int. the lower half can be in concrete wall. this kind of opaque wall like Bedok,AMK,Boon Lay is simply not user-friendly. architects design wrongly; the LTA officials involved in the projects also sleeping and failed to comment on the design. project after project still making the same mistake which is really disappointing. -

between aesthetic and user-friendlyness; i would prefer the latter. -

and worse still; if a bus happen to lose control one day and crash toward the queueing berth; those pax waiting behind cant even see and react! those bollards are not strong either. remember a recent case where a taxi crashed into a bus-stop and knocked down the supposedly strong concrete bollard! the project team involved in the new int construction are sleeping is it? -

Boon Lay Bus Interchange also not one hundred percent wall. The walls at the bus bay can see through and look outside.
Joo Koon Bus Interchange same as Boon Lay, bus bay wall can see through and look at the trucks and heavy vehicles at the warehouse side of the building. The entire bus bay a bit similar to Clementi Bus Interchange and Toa Payoh Bus Interchange: like a box flipped to one side and one section is exposed to outside to enable light to enter the bus bay.
Aiyah. Anyway, when the buildings are designed, the design has to be reviewed by engineers, architects, BCA, .... before it can be approved and the buildings can be constructed.
No worries. No need to over-think.
Just sit back, relax and enjoy the new bus interchange.

Bedok North Dr leading to the new interchange seems particularly more congested today compared to the temp int days.

Anyway the Int is freaking crowded and cramped with ppl and buses..Wrong move by LTA..
-
those buses which came from new upper changi rd and bedok south road/bedok north road tio jammed.
Is it because of traffic light?
