- Good suggestion.
- Provides link to Seletar North (Construction Industries Park) and Simpang.
- Provides link to Punggol Northshore/Matilda flats that were previously only reliant on LRT.
- In future, it will be diverted to Woodlands, via Admiralty Road East and Admiralty Road West that 856 is bursting into streams.

Hi mr TPS Timothy Mok, new number please. No direct link to 85 so don't use 85M. Cheers. Thanks.

Bukit Batok interchange:
They should really remove the kerbs at the end on berths and make parking lots instead. More parking lots also.
This would be beneficial but probably very unrealistic.

Route Suggestions for Sengkang Expansion
https://drive.google.com/open?id=17pwky9J4aCWEGBqToCJE2mPasOo&usp=sharing
Feeder 373: Sengkang - Anchorvale Cres
There are already residents in these BTOs. A basic feeder should be provided for them.
Feeder 374: Sengkang - Fernvale Rd
Link to Seletar Mall and Sengkang Green Pri.
Trunk 164: Ang Mo Kio - Sengkang
New link for Kebun Bahru to ITE College Ctrl, Sengkang West and Sengkang MRT via CTE and TPE
EXPRESS 500: Sengkang - Orchard - Boon Lay
Direct to city.

Hi mr hgdep103, this is great news. The govt shifted so many people to punggol and sengkang over the years but failed to keep up with the number of bus services in this area. Once extension for Punggol/sengkang/Hougang is up, it is time to level up the compensation. Cheers. Thanks.

Please see my route suggestions for the above.
With all due respect, I think the way you have planned 374, 164 and 500 looks quite unrealistic.
1. I highly doubt LTA will introduce an express service going all the way to Boon Lay from Sengkang
2. 374 duplicates 102 (which in turn still has lot of capacity) + 102 is faster than 374 based on proposed route
3. Don't get it why 164 has to do Jalan Kayu/SLE/CTE when it can go direct via Sengkang West Rd or Jalan Kayu to YCK Road and CTE + the link within AMK is quite winding which I highly doubt as LTA routes are quite direct
4. Proposed 373 uses Anchorvale Link which is quite tight. I prefer 373 to do Compassvale Crescent at least in one direction and be fastest direct link to Anchorvale Crescent.

Actually St Mike still has capacity. If you have been there you will notice there is a parking bay and boarding/alighting berths at the back of the terminal as well, which is unused today. Random buses park there.

St Michael's can take one more service without any problen.
Okay if we insist there will be a 500 from Sengkang to Boon Lay, this is the route I will propose. It has to be really express.
Sengkang Interchange
Compassvale Road / Sengkang East Ave (exp)
Punggol Road (one stop)
TPE (exp)
Seletar Circus Interchange
SLE/BKE
Bukit Panjang Road (stop, exp, exp, stop)
CCK Road (stop, stop)
Bukit Batok Road (stop @ ITE/Fire Brigade, exp, stop before PIE)
PIE
JW Ave 2
JW Ave 4
JW St 64
Boon Lay Interchange
* Overall route will have < 15 stops with key transfer points along (1) Punggol Road (2) Seletar Circus (3) Bukit Panjang Road (4) CCK Road (5) Bukit Batok Road.
* Should be full fleet DD
* This kind of route could be faster than MRT.

Hi mr busanalyser, seeing the way 518 is planned, the above route does not have enough stops at around sengkang. Normally initial towns will have 2 or more, then in middle all express until reach the other side with 2 or 3 towns to have enough substainability. Time taken will be around 1 hr 10 min. They will normally give slightly faster than MRT. Cheers. Thanks.

True but given how far Sengkang and Boon Lay is, the service will be successful only if it is really express.
The way I see it is a lot of people will transfer at nodal points like Punggol Road, Seletar Circua and BPJ road.
The route above also connects Sengkang to BPJ and CCK on its way to Boon Lay.
Just my proposal.
