In before 32M is announced
Originally posted by ButIAmAToilet:In before 32M is announced
Agree if it is from BNV, it should just be 32M... but I doubt so... I think it will be a new service.
If from BNV, it should do Holland Village to provide link to CCL and then via Queensway turn left into Margaret Dr and loop around Redhill MRT.
I will propose another route for this.
Proposing sv 146
Buona Vista Terminal
Holland Dr (1 stop)
Holland Ave (1 stop @ Holland Village MRT)
Holland Rd (1 stop)
Queensway (3 stops)
Margaret Dr (4 stops)
Dawson Rd (1 new stop @blk 61)
Alexandra Rd (1 stop)
Tiong Bahru Rd (Redhill MRT + 3 stops)
Lower Delta Rd (1 stop)
Jervois Rd (Jervois View, Dormer Park)
Prince Charles Crescent (Opp Crescent Girls School)
Alexandra Rd (2 stops)
Lower Delta Rd (1 stop)
Tiong Bahru Rd (4 stops)
Margaret Dr (6 stops incl. one new stop @ Skyville Terraces)
Queensway (3 stops, making u-turn @ signal)
Holland Rd (1 stop)
Holland Ave
Holland Dr
Buona Vista Terminal
In bold are new bus stops
Advantage:
1. Provides new HDBs of Skyville@Dawson & Skyville Terrace w/ direct MRT connection at Redhill MRT and Holland Village MRT
2. Connects multiple condos along Jervois Rd where people dont have option but to use car to Redhill MRT as well as x-over to other bus services
Disadvantage:
1. Longer than the earlier one proposed from Bukit Merah
Might be Buona Vista-Mei Ling St

such a route is not possible. service is sure for Dawson/Margaret.
All, anybody here got news when will announce the 4 new routes? Is it partially some jan and some feb? Cheers.
Dont be too sure bro unless you really know the info about the route

Hi mr carbikebus, give mr busnalayser the benefit of the doubt. I also don't think the new queentown service will go to Mei ling street. Cheers.
Originally posted by dupdup77:All, anybody here got news when will announce the 4 new routes? Is it partially some jan and some feb? Cheers.
Looks like 2 services will be introduced in Feb, and 2 others in March. Doesn't seem like there will be a new service launched in Jan.
It is confirmed that in Q1 there will be 4 services launched
1 feeder for CCK (most probably for CCK Ave 5/6)
1 trunk for CCK (most probably to Bukit Batok via Gambok)
1 short trunk for Queenstown (for Margaret Dr/Dawson)
1 trunk for Punggol (no details yet)
KJDEP right now has only 2 SP BSEP MANs.
Does this mean that new services (incl. feeder) will get Enviros as most of the BSEP SD slots for KJDEP have been upgraded except for 67 and 75. 985 not possible until branches at Lor 1 cut.

they can simply register New MAN A22 under BSEP as well.
Originally posted by lemon1974:they can simply register New MAN A22 under BSEP as well.
I thought they exhausted the number they had committed to SMRT under BSEP by registering Enviros instead. Not a single MAN A22 has been registered for last 8-9 months since E500s started registration under BSEP.

tot the press release say that 218 new SMRT buses will be funded by govt... so definitely there will be new MAN A22 buses. for the past few months, they are using those hand-me-down buses from 190/966/972 etc etc.. so no need to register MAN A22 buses (which SMRT themselves need it as well for their fleet replacement).
including the new bendy buses

and 450 more for SBST (250 DDs, 200 Citaros)?

For cck, Feeder is 301. Trunk is 983, likely loop at bukit panjang (also posted in LTA BSEP thread)

983 seems like will do Keat Hong (CCK Ave 1) and connect to DTL2. I was expecting this service but more in Q4 2015 once DTL2 is near completion. Also the first flats in Keat Hong new phase open up in Q1/2016. Given the service is a little early but will help relieve loading along CCK sector.
983 I feel will do CCK Ave 4, CCK Ave 1, CCK Way to BPJ
301 I feel will do CCK Way, CCK Ave 3, Brickland Rd, CCK Ave 6, CCK Ave 5, CCK Ave 3, CCK Way to CCK Interchange
It will be great if they also have 300G/300W... more so for the ave 2 residents...
Actually route can be modified for sv 300 also
300G: CCK Interchange, CCK Ave 4, CCK Ave 5, CCK Ave 6, CCK Ave 1, CCK Ave 2, CCK Way, CCK Interchange. 300W: It will do just the opposite route.

Hi SMP42P, can share the link that LTA saying loop at bt panjang?
Service 983 number confirmed
301 might be parallel with 300,983 might be joining 307 on certain routes..
301 will cover deleted parts of service 300.
Originally posted by TIB1112L:301 will cover deleted parts of service 300.
Awesome... just as I was predicting... If this comes true, will be great. sv 300 point service to ave 4 and ave 5.
sv 301 service to ave 2, ave 5
Lets see. Excited to see how they plan the route.
Originally posted by TIB1112L:Service 983 number confirmed
I think sv 983 will do ave 3 and then go down via ave 1 to CCK Way and BPJ.
