LTA's Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP) (Part 4)
-
The plan is to have 80 new routes.
So far, there are 60 new routes.
(Including City Direct bus services.)
(apparently, extension to existing BSEP new routes not counted, as seen in this article at LTA website.)
This means there will be 20 more new routes from now until the end of 2017.
-
20 new route some go tamp north sure.
-
18?134 & 150 included?
-
There are twenty-three HDB towns and three estates; twenty-six areas. With a total of eighty BSEP new bus routes, if spread equally, each area should have around three BSEP new bus routes. Until now still got which area do not have BSEP new bus route, or less than three BSEP new bus routes, then just introduce there lor.

Hi mr gekpohboy, think you get the wrong idea. They make announcement initially the BSEP is mainly for new HDB flats and new roads not served or areas poorly served. Cheers. Thanks.
-
Currently, all existing HDB towns and estates have at least one BSEP new bus service. :)
Areas and number of BSEP new bus services (descending order):
- 8 - Yishun - BSEP 860, 850E, 803, 103 extension, 117, 805, 663, 670
- 7 - Punggol - BSEP 119, 50, 386, 117, 118, 382, 666
- 6 - Jurong East - BSEP 990, 201, 41, 49, 655, 657
- 6 - Tampines - BSEP 513, 4, 20, 47, 118, 664
- 5 - Bedok - BSEP 47, 150, 658, 659, 669
- 5 - Choa Chu Kang - BSEP 982E, 301, 983, 979, 662
- 4 - Clementi - BSEP 201, 41, 655, 667
- 4 - Hougang - BSEP 116, 324, 102, 660
- 4 - Jurong West - BSEP 49, 258, 651, 657
- 4 - Seng Kang - BSEP 50, 371, 102, 654
- 3 - Ang Mo Kio - BSEP 50, 652, 668
- 3 - Bukit Merah - BSEP 120, 121, 122
- 3 - Bukit Panjang - BSEP 972, 983, 979
- 3 - Kallang - BSEP 141, 11 extension, 140
- 3 - Marine Parade - BSEP 47, 134, 150
- 3 - Woodlands - BSEP 951E, 904, 665
- 2 - Bukit Batok - BSEP 990, 653
- 2 - Changi - BSEP 4, 35
- 2 - Geylang - BSEP 134, 150
- 2 - Queenstown - BSEP 122, 667
- 2 - Sembawang - BSEP 117, 656
- 1 - Bishan - BSEP 50
- 1 - Bukit Timah - BSEP 41
- 1 - Pasir Ris - BSEP 661
- 1 - Seletar - BSEP 117
- 1 - Serangoon - BSEP 116
- 1 - Toa Payoh - BSEP 141
I am sorry that the list is long, but rest assured this is the longest it can get.
To be fair, I feel that the six areas (Bishan, Bukit Timah, Pasir Ris, Seletar, Serangoon, Toa Payoh) with only one BSEP new bus service should get at least one more BSEP new bus service.
"Developing" areas like Bukit Batok, Choa Chu Kang, Punggol, Sembawang, Seng Kang, Tampines, Woodlands and Yishun should get at least one more BSEP new bus service.
So, yeah, out of twenty more BSEP new bus services, I have predicted like fourteen of them as to where they may be at. Whereas for the remaining six, it can be at anywhere. :)

I think you shouldn't counts CDS as it is only two trips in day. Moreover, how is 41 Clementi and 150 Bedok?
If you see Pasir Ris is town that has had no BSEP service introduced (full day).
I suspect there may be a short feeder in future, otherwise Pasir Ris town is quite well connected.

LTA does count CDS as new services.
-
I hope there is a Woodlands to Pasir Ris or SBW to Pasir Ris in the future, it is troublesome for Woodlands residents who wants to go PSR to keep changing buses at Punggol bus stop. Need a direct service or better extend 117 to Pasir Ris interchange.
-
Dont forget some Interchanges can accomodate anymore new service because of its structure..

41 runs along Toh Guan Road East, Toh Tuck Link and Toh Tuck Avenue. These roads are inside the boundary of Clementi planning area.
150 runs along Joo Chiat Place and Telok Kurau Road, which are roads inside the boundary of Bedok planning area.
In fact, by running along Marine Crescent and Marine Terrace, 150 also serves Marine Parade.

Five existing bus interchanges/terminal will have an extension to accommodate additional buses, to support the BSEP new bus services. They will be completed from the second quarter of this year.
- Q2 - Sengkang Interchange
- Q2 - Tampines Interchange
- Unknown - Hougang Central Interchange
- Unknown - Punggol Interchange
- Unknown - Upper East Coast Terminal

Ok. I don't really count that as Clementi or Bedok.
You missed out Marine Parade that has received many new services as well including 47, 134, 150.

Was UEC announced? I never read this press release. Sengkang/Tampines have been delayed. Should have been ready by Q4 2015. By the way has work started on Tampines interchange extension?
-
I'm very confident that the next new svc will start from Skg Interchange, still can take 1-2 more svc.

So, yeah, out of twenty more BSEP new bus services, I have predicted like fourteen of them as to where they may be at. Whereas for the remaining six, it can be at anywhere. :)
If spread equally, every HDB town and estate should get at least three bus services.
Suppose we up the number of BSEP new bus services in areas with only one or two BSEP new bus services to make it three BSEP new bus services, with a total of twelve BSEP new bus services for areas with only one BSEP new bus service (Bukit Timah, Pasir Ris, Seletar, Serangoon, Toa Payoh) and a total of five BSEP new bus services for areas with two BSEP new bus services (Bukit Batok, Changi, Geylang, Queenstown, Sembawang), that's seventeen BSEP new bus services already.
The developing areas (Choa Chu Kang, Punggol, Sengkang, Tampines, Woodlands, Yishun) will definitely get around one or two BSEP new bus service(s), so that is around nine BSEP new bus services.
Grand total for the above is twenty-six BSEP new bus services.
However, there are only twenty BSEP new bus services' "vacancies" left, before the quota of eighty BSEP new bus services is reached. So, I guess areas like Bukit Timah, Changi, Geylang, Pasir Ris, Seletar, Serangoon, Queenstown may not get anymore BSEP new bus service.
With that, I guess Bukit Batok, Choa Chu Kang, Punggol, Sembawang, Sengkang, Tampines, Toa Payoh, Woodlands, Yishun are the next (final) areas that will get BSEP new bus services.

What kind of BSEP service would it most likely be? Short or long?

Honestly I'm not expecting long BSEP services anymore given the number of BSEP buses remaining and the number of services LTA still need to introduce...

While you may be right that LTA has a big picture view on the situation, I think it is meaningless to look at it from a planning-area perspective, when there are sub-areas that see much poorer coverage relative to the area as a whole. There are many factors that LTA will consider. I doubt they have a uniform quota for the number of new services needed to be introduced in a given area.
-
I think the best way to predict is to look at the completion dates of BTO flats.
BSEP new bus services prediction based on BTO estimated completion dates
(completion date - BTO name)
- Q2 this year - Bukit Batok's "Skyline I @ Bukit Batok"
- Q2 this year - Choa Chu Kang's "Keat Hong Pride"
- Q2 this year - Hougang's "Hougang ParkEdge"
- Q2 this year - Punggol's "Punggol Edge"
- Q2 this year - Punggol's "Waterway SunDew"
- Q2 this year - Punggol's "Matilda Portico"
- Q2 this year - Sengkang's "Compassvale Mast"
- Q2 this year - Sengkang's "Rivervale Delta"
- Q2 this year - Tampines's "Tampines GreenForest"
- Q2 this year - Woodlands's "TreeTrail @ Woodlands"
Choa Chu Kang already has 983, Punggol already has 382, and Bukit Batok already has so many bus services. I guess Q2 BSEP launch of new bus services will be in Sengkang, Tampines and Woodlands.- Q3 this year - Punggol's "Waterway Cascadia"
- Q3 this year - Clementi's "Clementi Gateway"
- Q3 this year - Clementi's "Clementi Ridges"
- Q3 this year - Bukit Merah's "Depot Heights"
- Q3 this year - Choa Chu Kang's "Keat Kong Mirage"
- Q3 this year - Yishun's "Oleander Breeze @ Yishun"
Punggol's already has 382; Bukit Merah and Clementi already have an established public bus network; I guess Q3 BSEP launch of new bus services will be in Choa Chu Kang and Yishun.- Q4 this year - Choa Chu Kang's "Keat Hong Colours"
- Q4 this year - Hougang's "Hougang Crimson"
- Q4 this year - Kallang's "Bendemeer Light"
- Q4 this year - Kallang's "McNair Towers"
- Q4 this year - Kallang's "Tenteram Peak"
- Q4 this year - Sengkang's "Compassvale Cape"
- Q4 this year - Sengkang's "Compassvale Helm"
- Q4 this year - Sembawang's "EastBank @ Canberra"
- Q4 this year - Yishun's "Vine Grove @ Yishun"
- Q4 this year - Yishun's "Palm Breeze @ Yishun"
With a "bumper crop" of BTO completion in Kallang and Sengkang, I guess new BSEP bus services will be launched there in Q4. Hougang's one is in the middle of an established public bus network. If Choa Chu Kang and Yishun each have a new bus service in Q3, there's no need for another one in Q4.- Q1 next year - Ang Mo Kio's "Teck Ghee Parkview"
- Q1 next year - Bukit Batok's "Skyline II @ Bukit Batok"
- Q1 next year - Choa Chu Kang's "Keat Hong Crest"
- Q1 next year - Hougang's "Hougang Meadow"
- Q1 next year - Jurong West's "Spring Haven @ Jurong"
- Q1 next year - Punggol's "The Verandah @ Matilda"
- Q1 next year - Sengkang's "Anchorvale Parkview"
- Q1 next year - Yishun's "Angsana Breeze @ Yishun"
- Q1 next year - Yishun's "Sacara Breeze @ Yishun"
All are "bumper crop"s, with at least around five hundred units. Jurong West's one may already be served by 49. I guess there will be new BSEP bus services at Ang Mo Kio, Bukit Batok, Choa Chu Kang, Hougang, Punggol, Sengkang and Yishun in Q1 next year.- Q2 next year - Ang Mo Kio's "Kebun Baru Court"
- Q2 next year - Jurong West's "Boon Lay View"
- Q2 next year - Kallang's "Whampoa Dew"
- Q2 next year - Queenstown's "Ghim Moh Edge"
- Q2 next year - Sembawang's "EastBrook @ Canberra"
- Q2 next year - Sembawang's "EastLace @ Canberra"
- Q2 next year - Sembawang's "EastLawn @ Canberra"
- Q2 next year - Sembawang's "EastWave @ Canberra"
- Q2 next year - Sengkang's "Fernvale Riverwalk"
- Q2 next year - Woodlands' "Admiralty Flora"
- Q2 next year - Woodlands's "Woodlands Glen"
- Q2 next year - Woodlands's "Woodlands Pasture I & II"
- Q2 next year - Yishun's "Khatib Court"
All are "bumper crop"s, except Yishun's. Kallang's may not need BSEP new bus service, if there's one launched this year. I guess the launch of new BSEP bus services in Q2 next year will be in Ang Mo Kio, Jurong West, Queenstown, Sembawang, Sengkang and Woodlands.- Q3 next year - Jurong West's "Yung Kuang Court"
- Q3 next year - Sembawang's "EastCrown @ Canberra"
- Q3 next year - Toa Payoh's "Toa Payoh Crest"
- Q3 next year - Yishun's "Park Grove @ Yishun"
All are "bumper crops". I guess Q3 next year will see new BSEP bus services in Jurong West, Sembawang, Toa Payoh and Yishun.- Q4 next year - Bedok's "Fengshan GreenVille"
- Q4 next year - Bukit Batok's "SkyPeak @ Bukit Batok"
- Q4 next year - Bukit Batok's "West Crest @ Bukit Batok"
- Q4 next year - Bukit Merah's "Telok Blangah ParcView"
- Q4 next year - Hougang's "Buangkok Edgeview"
- Q4 next year - Punggol's "Matilda Court"
- Q4 next year - Punggol's "Matilda Edge"
- Q4 next year - Punggol's "Punggol Vue"
- Q4 next year - Punggol's "Waterway Sunray"
- Q4 next year - Tampines's "Tampines GreenEdge"
- Q4 next year - Yishun's "Fern Grove @ Yishun"
All are "bumper crop"s, so it's quite likely that Bedok, Bukit Batok, Bukit Merah, Hougang, Punggol, Tampines and Yishun will get the last batch of new BSEP bus services in Q4 next year.In total, we need thirty-one new BSEP bus services from Q2 this year to Q4 next year.
Yet, there are only twenty vacancies left.
I guess the last batch of BSEP new bus services will be launched in Q2 next year.
Thereafter, it is either another round of expansion of BSEP, or a new bus service improvement programme will be initiated.
Otherwise, I guess it's going to be long routes covering several newly-completed BTO estates in a town.
With around sixteen towns (Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Bukit Batok, Bukit Merah, Choa Chu Kang, Hougang, Jurong West, Kallang, Punggol, Queenstown, Sembawang, Sengkang, Tampines, Toa Payoh, Woodlands, Yishun) and twenty vacancies, it may be possible to cover every newly-completed BTO estates by the end of 2017 with twenty bus routes or less.
If have remainder, we can fill that with new City Direct bus services.
If so, the roll out of the final twenty BSEP new bus services could be like this:
- Q2 this year - Sengkang, Tampines, Woodlands.
- Q3 this year - Choa Chu Kang, Yishun.
- Q4 this year - Kallang.
- Q1 next year - Ang Mo Kio, Bukit Batok, Hougang, Punggol.
- Q2 next year - Jurong West, Queenstown, Sembawang.
- Q3 next year - Toa Payoh.
- Q4 next year - Bedok, Bukit Merah.
Where the remaining four are City Direct bus services.

Choa Chu Kang already has 983, Punggol already has 382, and
Bukit Batok already has so many bus services. I guess Q2 BSEP
launch of new bus services will be in Sengkang,
Tampines and Woodlands.- Q3 this year - Punggol's "Waterway Cascadia"

- Q3 this year - Clementi's "Clementi Ridges"

- Q3 this year - Yishun's "Oleander Breeze @ Yishun"
Punggol's already has 382; Bukit Merah and Clementi
already have an established public bus network; I guess Q3 BSEP
launch of new bus services will be in Choa Chu
Kang and Yishun.- Q4 this year - Choa Chu Kang's "Keat Hong Colours"
- Q4 this year - Hougang's "Hougang Crimson"
- Q4 this year - Kallang's "Bendemeer Light"

With a "bumper crop" of BTO completion in
Kallang and Sengkang, I guess new
BSEP bus services will be launched there in Q4. Hougang's one is in
the middle of an established public bus network. If Choa Chu Kang
and Yishun each have a new bus service in Q3, there's no need for
another one in Q4.- Q1 next year - Ang Mo Kio's "Teck Ghee Parkview"
- Q1 next year - Bukit Batok's "Skyline II @ Bukit Batok"
- Q1 next year - Choa Chu Kang's "Keat Hong Crest"
- Q1 next year - Hougang's "Hougang Meadow"
- Q1 next year - Jurong West's "Spring Haven @ Jurong"
- Q1 next year - Punggol's "The Verandah @ Matilda"
- Q1 next year - Sengkang's "Anchorvale Parkview"
- Q1 next year - Yishun's "Angsana Breeze @ Yishun"
- Q1 next year - Yishun's "Sacara Breeze @ Yishun"
All are "bumper crop"s, with at least around five
hundred units. Jurong West's one may already be served by 49. I
guess there will be new BSEP bus services at Ang Mo
Kio, Bukit Batok, Choa Chu
Kang, Hougang, Punggol,
Sengkang and Yishun in Q1 next
year.- Q2 next year - Ang Mo Kio's "Kebun Baru Court"
- Q2 next year - Jurong West's "Boon Lay View"
- Q2 next year - Kallang's "Whampoa Dew"
- Q2 next year - Queenstown's "Ghim Moh Edge"

- Q2 next year - Woodlands' "Admiralty Flora"
- Q2 next year - Woodlands's "Woodlands Glen"
- Q2 next year - Woodlands's "Woodlands Pasture I & II"
- Q2 next year - Yishun's "Khatib Court"
All are "bumper crop"s, except Yishun's. Kallang's may
not need BSEP new bus service, if there's one launched this year. I
guess the launch of new BSEP bus services in Q2 next year will be
in Ang Mo Kio, Jurong West,
Queenstown, Sembawang,
Sengkang and Woodlands.- Q3 next year - Jurong West's "Yung Kuang Court"
- Q3 next year - Sembawang's "EastCrown @ Canberra"
- Q3 next year - Toa Payoh's "Toa Payoh Crest"
- Q3 next year - Yishun's "Park Grove @ Yishun"
All are "bumper crops". I guess Q3 next year will see
new BSEP bus services in Jurong West,
Sembawang, Toa Payoh and
Yishun.- Q4 next year - Bedok's "Fengshan GreenVille"
- Q4 next year - Bukit Batok's "SkyPeak @ Bukit Batok"
- Q4 next year - Bukit Batok's "West Crest @ Bukit Batok"
- Q4 next year - Bukit Merah's "Telok Blangah ParcView"

- Q4 next year - Punggol's "Waterway Sunray"
- Q4 next year - Tampines's "Tampines GreenEdge"
- Q4 next year - Yishun's "Fern Grove @ Yishun"
All are "bumper crop"s, so it's quite likely that
Bedok, Bukit Batok, Bukit
Merah, Punggol, Yishun,
Hougang and Tampines will get the
last batch of new BSEP bus services in Q4 next year.In total, we need thirty-one new BSEP bus services from Q2 thisyear to Q4 next year.
Yet, there are only twenty vacancies left.
I guess the last batch of BSEP new bus services will be launched in Q2 next year.
Thereafter, it is either another round of expansion of BSEP, or a new bus service improvement programme will be initiated.
Thanks. But I feel that surely there will be at least 5 more CDS introduced before the end of BSEP...

Towns with City Direct bus service:
Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Bukit Batok, Choa Chu Kang, Clementi, Hougang, Jurong East, Jurong West, Pasir Ris, Punggol, Sembawang, Sengkang, Tampines, Woodlands, Yishun.
Towns without City Direct bus service (yet):
Bishan, Bukit Merah, Bukit Panjang, Bukit Timah, Geylang, Kallang, Marine Parade, Queenstown, Serangoon, Toa Payoh.
I feel that priority should be given to areas like Bukit Panjang, Bishan, Serangoon, Toa Payoh, as they are further away from the city centre. -
I hope the last 6 service will be longer routes like East to West/North to Central etc..At least 23 km per direction.

I think the best way to predict is to look at the completion dates of BTO flats.

- Q2 this year - Tampines's "Tampines GreenForest"
- Q2 this year - Woodlands's "TreeTrail @ Woodlands"
Choa
Chu Kang already has 983, Punggol already has 382, and Bukit Batok
already has so many bus services. I guess Q2 BSEP launch of new bus
services will be in Sengkang,
Tampines and Woodlands.- Q3 this year - Punggol's "Waterway Cascadia"
- Q3 this year - Clementi's "Clementi Gateway"
- Q3 this year - Clementi's "Clementi Ridges"
- Q3 this year - Bukit Merah's "Depot Heights"
- Q3 this year - Choa Chu Kang's "Keat Kong Mirage"
- Q3 this year - Yishun's "Oleander Breeze @ Yishun"
Punggol's
already has 382; Bukit Merah and Clementi already have an
established public bus network; I guess Q3 BSEP launch of new bus
services will be in Choa Chu Kang and
Yishun.- Q4 this year - Choa Chu Kang's "Keat Hong Colours"
- Q4 this year - Hougang's "Hougang Crimson"
- Q4 this year - Kallang's "Bendemeer Light"
- Q4 this year - Kallang's "McNair Towers"
- Q4 this year - Kallang's "Tenteram Peak"
- Q4 this year - Sengkang's "Compassvale Cape"
- Q4 this year - Sengkang's "Compassvale Helm"
- Q4 this year - Sembawang's "EastBank @ Canberra"
- Q4 this year - Yishun's "Vine Grove @ Yishun"
- Q4 this year - Yishun's "Palm Breeze @ Yishun"
With
a "bumper crop" of BTO completion in Kallang and
Sengkang, I guess new BSEP bus services will be
launched there in Q4. Hougang's one is in the middle of an
established public bus network. If Choa Chu Kang and Yishun each
have a new bus service in Q3, there's no need for another one in
Q4.- Q1 next year - Ang Mo Kio's "Teck Ghee Parkview"
- Q1 next year - Bukit Batok's "Skyline II @ Bukit Batok"
- Q1 next year - Choa Chu Kang's "Keat Hong Crest"
- Q1 next year - Hougang's "Hougang Meadow"

- Q1 next year - Yishun's "Sacara Breeze @ Yishun"
All
are "bumper crop"s, with at least around five hundred units. Jurong
West's one may already be served by 49. I guess there will be new
BSEP bus services at Ang Mo Kio, Bukit
Batok, Choa Chu Kang,
Hougang, Punggol,
Sengkang and Yishun in Q1 next
year.- Q2 next year - Ang Mo Kio's "Kebun Baru Court"

- Q2 next year - Woodlands's "Woodlands Glen"
- Q2 next year - Woodlands's "Woodlands Pasture I & II"
- Q2 next year - Yishun's "Khatib Court"
All
are "bumper crop"s, except Yishun's. Kallang's may not need BSEP
new bus service, if there's one launched this year. I guess the
launch of new BSEP bus services in Q2 next year will be in
Ang Mo Kio, Jurong West,
Queenstown, Sembawang,
Sengkang and Woodlands.- Q3 next year - Jurong West's "Yung Kuang Court"
- Q3 next year - Sembawang's "EastCrown @ Canberra"
- Q3 next year - Toa Payoh's "Toa Payoh Crest"
- Q3 next year - Yishun's "Park Grove @ Yishun"
All
are "bumper crops". I guess Q3 next year will see new BSEP bus
services in Jurong West,
Sembawang, Toa Payoh and
Yishun.- Q4 next year - Bedok's "Fengshan GreenVille"
- Q4 next year - Bukit Batok's "SkyPeak @ Bukit Batok"
- Q4 next year - Bukit Batok's "West Crest @ Bukit Batok"
- Q4 next year - Bukit Merah's "Telok Blangah ParcView"

- Q4 next year - Punggol's "Punggol Vue"
- Q4 next year - Punggol's "Waterway Sunray"
- Q4 next year - Tampines's "Tampines GreenEdge"
- Q4 next year - Yishun's "Fern Grove @ Yishun"
All
are "bumper crop"s, so it's quite likely that
Bedok, Bukit Batok, Bukit
Merah, Hougang, Punggol,
Tampines and Yishun will get the
last batch of new BSEP bus services in Q4 next year.In total, we need thirty-one new BSEP bus services from Q2 this year to Q4 next year.
Yet, there are only twenty vacancies left.
I guess the last batch of BSEP new bus services will be launched in Q2 next year.
Thereafter, it is either another round of expansion of BSEP, or a new bus service improvement programme will be initiated.
Otherwise, I guess it's going to be long routes covering several newly-completed BTO estates in a town.
With around sixteen towns (Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Bukit Batok, Bukit Merah, Choa Chu Kang, Hougang, Jurong West, Kallang, Punggol, Queenstown, Sembawang, Sengkang, Tampines, Toa Payoh, Woodlands, Yishun) and twenty vacancies, it may be possible to cover every newly-completed BTO estates by the end of 2017 with twenty bus routes or less.
If have remainder, we can fill that with new City Direct bus services.
If so, the roll out of the final twenty BSEP new bus services could be like this:
- Q2 this year - Sengkang, Tampines, Woodlands.
- Q3 this year - Choa Chu Kang, Yishun.
- Q4 this year - Kallang.
- Q1 next year - Ang Mo Kio, Bukit Batok, Hougang, Punggol.
- Q2 next year - Jurong West, Queenstown, Sembawang.
- Q3 next year - Toa Payoh.
- Q4 next year - Bedok, Bukit Merah.
Where the remaining four are City Direct bus services.
Good summary. Lets go quarter by quarter and see what bus needs these new BTOs may have.
- Q2 this year - Bukit Batok's "Skyline I @ Bukit Batok" covered by existing services (176, 187, 188, 990 to list a few...)
- Q2 this year - Choa Chu Kang's "Keat Hong Pride" covered by 301. short walking distance also have 983.
- Q2 this year - Hougang's "Hougang ParkEdge" covered by 62, 102, 136, 324
- Q2 this year - Punggol's "Punggol Edge" long walk to LRT or nearest stop. One HDB doesn't warrant new feeder, but hopefully can have one service loop inside to provide direct connectivity (suggestion: 62 or 83)
- Q2 this year - Punggol's "Waterway SunDew" need new service or diversion of 386
- Q2 this year - Punggol's "Matilda Portico" covered by 43/M, 117, 118 and 382G/W
- Q2 this year - Sengkang's "Compassvale Mast" close to MRT. covered by 85, 102, 372 in short walking distance
- Q2 this year - Sengkang's "Rivervale Delta" short walking distance have LRT or service 50/163/M
- Q2 this year - Tampines's "Tampines GreenForest" where is this?? I don't know the location of this condo.
- Q2 this year - Woodlands's "TreeTrail @ Woodlands" on main Ave 7 with many bus services
So for Q2 2016, I see need only for feeder in Punggol, but if cannot introduce new service, need to divert 386 to cover Waterway Sundew HDB. -
- Q3 this year - Punggol's "Waterway Cascadia" 382 G/W or walk LRT.
- Q3 this year - Clementi's "Clementi Gateway" lots of services along Commonwealth ave west incl. 52, 99, 105, 183, 173, 963, 188 etc.
- Q3 this year - Clementi's "Clementi Ridges" lots of services along Commonwealth ave west incl. 52, 99, 105, 183, 173, 185, 189 etc.
- Q3 this year - Bukit Merah's "Depot Heights" 57, 175, 195
- Q3 this year - Choa Chu Kang's "Keat Kong Mirage" LRT, 67, 188, 172
- Q3 this year - Yishun's "Oleander Breeze @ Yishun" 805 feeder to Yishun or 117 to Khatib/Punggol.
NO NEED of new service as well catered by existing services for now.
