If have also from SBST or amend 117 passby there.
Originally posted by CZT:Hi. Creative suggestion for 826. May i know the rationale of it?
Hi, just experimenting with BusPlus routes for landed estates in the area. Lentor area served by 825 is reasonably expansive and hilly, and so is Seletar Hills area.

Seems quite decent. Not a SK or AMK resident, so don't know how much such a route would be in demand or if there are better alternative routes.
986:
Way too long, not feasible at all. Better to split into a Sembawang - express - CBD plus a JE/Clementi - express - CBD, or otherwise just Sembawang - JE without passing through CBD at all. Not to mention that the twisty South Buona Vista Rd may be off-limits for high capacity buses as well.
826:
Can refer to others' comment - I think this service can only be realistically implemented as a premium.
997:
Interesting routing but follows way too close to the MRT between Sembawang and Marsiling. Marsiling - CCK could be a good alternative for those working at Mandai Ind Estate. After CCK, follows rather close to 188/985, so may not justify loading yet.
Hi, about 152, I hope you don't mind me sharing a bit of my rationale:
Currently northeastern area is lacking a direct connection towards downtown and Marina Centre via the central corridor. 857 from Yishun also serves the Boon Keng-Little India corridor and is an unnecessary stretch especially during rush hour. This would help to bridge that gap (while making a detour to AMK to absorb rush hour loading) while allowing Sengkang Central / West residents to bridge their connection towards North-South Line at AMK without having to go from NEL-Serangoon-CCL-Bishan-NSL or at Dhoby Ghaut for direct NSL transfer. This is in fact targeted towards helping to relieve passenger traffic from Sengkang/Punggol to and from the AMK-TPY corridor on the NSL.
This will also help to relieve rush hour northeast / AMK loading towards downtown area and shopping belt, as well as providing connectivity to downtown and Suntec areas without troublesome transfers.
Understood about 986, will come up with a better idea in time. :)
I'll see what I can change on 997 - may have to renumber the route if truncated to Marsiling-CCK. Thanks!

Hi, I take this to camp very often. Can confirm will kpkb. Thanks. :)
Last time TPS Timothy Mok suggested this kind of route which duplicates much of 103 towards Yishun

Surprisingly except for 30 minutes PM slot, buses on 103 and 117 don't have too many people boarding at Seletar Camp and Aerospace.
There are actually many complexes there. What all got private bus? If you go around 6pm, already SAP is like ghost town with very few people seen on road (but lots of cars)
Originally posted by Sbs6750E:The only private est IMO that need svc is Punggol 17th ave. 84 can amend there.
No. Got Punggol Point LRT lor.

Hahahha i doubt bus can even passed thru the cars that is parking 'illegally' along the road. Svc 317 already like struggling to drive inside the Serangoon Garden area
If want to be and need be, cut the maximum length of double decker or single decker to 10.5m or 10m and follow like London. Don't just follow blindly, insist on having 12m bus. This is too late now.
Services 42, 46, 92, 150, 256, 825, 882 & 926 especially for sure.

True indeed,LTA only care if there's many pax,else just be content to see SD buses.
confirm the workers actually use cars instead...I see so many cars inside the complexes

Wait once matilda is up. If you amend 117 like that, residents there will shout at you lor. ;-) You know, it's just like amending 76 to Eunos. :-) No lah, this one worse, no replacement svc some more.
I don't think 117 should get amended on Punggol side. It is an important transfer point to other services at Seletar Circus for Punggol residents.
117 should have been amended to Canberra estate. That was a mistake on LTA's part.
