What they have done is tried to cover the most populous areas in YT town. Will also provide some relief to 302... I am sure YT residents are finally going to be happy with new service.. Those near CCK6/st54 can walk to Woodlands Rd for 960/961/170/178 to BPJ MRT.
Originally posted by SMB42P:Straight to Street 52.. so the stadium side is not convered by 979. Quite a disappointing route considering Street 52 has 302 already that has close to full bendy deployment... whereas Street 53 and Street 54 will continue to be only be served by 307 rigids
Those near st 54 can walk to Woodlands Road to take 170/178/960/961... see many people alight at take the road from WDL road to CCK North 6. 5 min walking distance. We need to understand that 302 will serve CCK while 979 will serve BPJ MRT.
I would have preferred if 979 was extended to BBT/Bukit Gambok instead.
Originally posted by SMB42P:no choice lor...hopefully they improve 307 also...this service is seriously getting from bad to worse...too many people take the bus already... bus bunching is no longer a new thing...and after that, enjoy the good 15-20 mins wait... if on a weekend, the wait can extend to 30 mins..
Sometimes 3x 302 then 307 comes...
307 is doing quite ok.. 302 bendies are packed to door back to back... 307 rigids get 50-60 pax... bunching is an issue because of traffic/congestion around cck ave 4.

Hope they will deploy majority DDs with good frequencys too. :-)
I think 118 will have uni-directional loading compared to 168/969 that have high loading in both directions.
Maybe good to have alternate DDs go off-service via Changi Biz Park PIE exit and go quickly back to Punggol to start next trip.

full trip 35-40 min per direction with 8-9 buses in the fleet. Heard full fleet DD

Hi mr sbs6750E, expect heavy drop in premium private bus services to CBP. Services 593 and 744 will definitely see drop as they serve Punggol during peak hours. Other estates (sengkang/Ang mo kio/yishun/yio Chu Kang/woodlands/sembawang/pasir ris/tampines) already have private buses to CBP at peak hours only. Cheers. Thanks.

Seems like Senthul crescent / Sumang walk getting feeder service in future since bus stops are up.

Hi mr SBS2652G, thanks. Oh my goodness, sbs 117 and sbs 118 serve same few stops in Punggol. Cheers for those living near soo teck LRT. All others need do a simple transfer at Punggol bus interchange.
Originally posted by BusAnalayzer:Seems like Senthul crescent / Sumang walk getting feeder service in future since bus stops are up.
Yes. For those living near there, either take a short walk via the beautiful Punggol waterway to get to MRT/bus interchange. For those living near Sumang and nibong LRT, take lrt. No bus for them for at least the next 6 months. Cheers.

So finally both services for Punggol west, even though Punggol east is bigger. And nothing for Punggol Dr residents.

Hi mr busanalyser, yes you are right. I understand the logic. LTA did it correctly.
To go tampines(east) Punggol east- sbs 34. Punggol west -sbs 118.
To go yishun(north), Punggol east-sbs 85. Punggol west-sbs 117.
Fair and square. Totally no overlap at stops inside Punggol except at the interchange! Well done! Each service will take its own loading.
For sumang link and sentul crescent, LTA will leave them with LRT only. Same as whr they do to those living in Punggol drive. For 7 years, only LRT until sbs 50 comes in end yr 2012. Cheers.

Not really...Street 52 normally only has rigid loading...the crowd normally comes from YewTee MRT into CCK Cresent...so that part i agree...
307 certainly gets more than 50-60 pax (at least during peak)...the queue gets crazily long during PM peak and at times, bus also packed to the door.. during AM peak, by the time bus reaches Blk 702 bus stop, many are packed to the door... 307P doesnt help as it normally appears just behind 307 or just in front of 307, things get worse when there are events at stadium.. i agree with the bunching issue also...
