Bus services afected by NEL
-
There appear to be more "disconnections" with the opening of the NEL. Here are a few suggestions to improve the state of affairs:
Services 23 & 111: Integration under the number 111 (Tampines-Temasek Polytechnic-Bedok North-PIE-Bendemeer Road-Little India-Orchard Road-Tanglin Road-Queenstown-Ghim Moh).
Service 62: Either end at Geylang Lorong 1 or loop at Tanjung Rhu (Dunman High).
Service 82: Either pull it out or extend it to Bishan Interchange via Upper Serangoon, Braddell and Bishan Roads.
Service 83 & 119: Integration under the number 119 (Punggol-Sengkang-Hougang South (loop)).
Services 112 and 113: Convert them to TownLink services under the numbers 329 and 320, making intra-town travel less costly.
On another issue,
Services 859 & 962: Integration under the number 962 (Woodlands-Sembawang-Yishun).
Erect an interchange in Sembawang soon. Sengkang and Punggol have got theirs already.
Adopt the Perth model of managing public transport. Have a master operator (Transitlink) take over the bus fleets and MRT/LRT lines. They will then be leased back to SBS and SMRT-Tibs. I think it could be more efficient since there is a single operator in control, instead of two or three groups. -

Australian may have a splendid transport system. We could emulate their system, however do we have a management to do what they exactly would like to do???? Do you think our management has a free hand in doing what they would like to do?

Svc 62 just go terminate at Shenton Way via Crawford St & Beach Rd.
Integrate 83 and 159. Link better between Punggol, Sengkang, Hougang, AMK & Toa Payoh
Svc 82 muz well go Toa Payoh link residents better.
Svc 112 & 113 can extend to AMK... no need ctrl stops and loop at Kovan.
Merge 962 & 859 and oso extend the svc to AMK ....serves better and alternative route of 169 to woodlands via AMK Ave 8/3/6, Lentor Ave, Yishun Ave 2. -
It is not feasible to merge 859 and 962 now as both services have high demands and I do not think TIBS have enough buses to cater to that yet.Originally posted by freakybuses:Svc 23 shld be extended to clementi with the integration of 111.

Actually I quite like the way the Aussies and Londoners run their public transport system.

Sembawang has no feeder bus service. Furthermore, the two fleets (859 & 962) can be combined. Wonder why Punggol Int was built so soon and Sembawang still hasn't got one.Originally posted by off_service:It is not feasible to merge 859 and 962 now as both services have high demands and I do not think TIBS have enough buses to cater to that yet. -
Favouritism, my friend. Punggol-PSR GRC MP Ms Penny Low has been complaining, so this move is to appease her.
