LOL if they touch there nothing u cn do abt it
Originally posted by Path Light:Do not touch 56, 66, 171 and 972.
I can safely say that only 66 & 171 will be affected,Not withdrawn but some adjustment.
I seriously cant imagine the crowd that will happen when BP ITH does not open when DTL2 opens
very messy i guess... troublesome transfer to buses

983 hope it will loop around BPJ..
What it will hope when DTL2 opens:
When Thomson Line opens, LHL will definitely (retire) or (pass away and have the same treatment as Lee Kuan Yew).
Hope they intro a bus service from Bukit Panjang to Yew Tee too, to compensate the fact that DTL is unable to link up with CCK/Yew Tee MRT
Yew Tee residents deserve quicker traveling time to town too!

Current mrt line is already very fast for the yew tee resident to town. 40 mins via ns line to orchard.
No changes bah..
Govt. wants more ppl? Plus, u sure have the big group of ppl assuming that MRT is gonna be full and bus is gonna be empty. Or buses aren't gonna be crowded. Or eating/drinking is rather allowed in buses~

Versus 20 mins for Bukit Panjang residents to get to town on DTL2. A new bus service will help save at least 10 mins of traveling time
If the rationalisation had taken place till now, I believe 24 and 70 would have been affected by the CCL long time ago. Till now, still the same...

bukit panjang residents all stay near the DTL station ah? save 10 mins? no need wait for bus? by the time you board the bus and reach bukit panjang station will be at least 20-30 mins....
further, from one of the LTA press release --
"The Downtown Line 2 will offer commuters significant time savings. For example, the current one-hour journey from Bukit Panjang to the city centre will be reduced by a third - to approximately 40 minutes. "
When DTL opens, service 23's full DD will even have to extend all the way to Dover Bus Interchange, that is near to Singapore Polytechnic (2017) and will merge with 191 (2 buses). This will allow a cap and a new direct link between Portsdown Rd and MCE, that is provided if there is no downgrading of fleets. Service 65 is no longer full fleet DD anymore becos DTL3 opening in 2017.

Service 66 may ply Eng Neo Road, then PIE, Jalan Toa Payoh and MacPherson Road

service 23? wtf?
Originally posted by TIB868X:service 23? wtf?
23 no need to go Dover,Can always terminate at Rochor Terminal.I am sure there is catchment from pax alighting from CW link and SJE buses.Exit follow 170 to Rochor Canal then resume its original routes..I did a survey that SBST has 6 lots and everytime see 4-5 buses park at one time leaving 1-2 lots vacant.23 can have a short rest there.

I agree.. It will be too long... If not, just extend it to Marina Centre lorhx... I feel just nice for it to terminate at Marina Centre

Marina centre is crowded already bro,Its just a temporary terminal until all the svc extend to Marina South in future..

Another possibility that 66 may cut short to loop at Serangoon from J East and 67 might see either Tampines or CCK looping at Serangoon too.
Service 157 may ply Eng Neo Road, PIE then turn left to Adam Road.
Service 66 may have a route change.
I am not sure of Service 74, 166 and 852's route.

Since you was comparing from Yew Tee MRT to town I compared from Bukit Panjang MRT to town also lor. Yew Tee residents also don't stay near MRT what.
Anyway you get my point. I remember five years ago during GE the Yew Tee MP said he'll address the transport woes of the residents. So just waiting for it
