Originally posted by dupdup77:Hi mr carbikebus, surprisingly Eunos bus interchange seems to be ultra quiet. Not many passengers at all. Wondered why? Lack of a major mall? Bus interchange next to eunos MRT yet crowd is even lesser than that of Punggol or sengkang interchange. Other bus interchanges are short of berths yet eunos has so many extra not used. Before adding 76 and 150 to eunos, there are 5 empty passengers boarding berth/queues. After adding, still got 3 more extra queuing berths. Hope sbs 76 amendment to eunos will bring more load to eunos area. Cheers. Thanks.
Wait for another 2-3 years,The industrial park will be demolished and there is plan for condo and of maybe BTO flats?Who knows a new feeder service?
Originally posted by Yusry:Eunos has never been a crowded place. It might be the only multi-modal interchange in Singapore, other than HarbourFront and Joo Koon, that is not built in a town centre.
The town centre has traditionally always been along Changi/Geylang Roads from Geylang Serai Market/Joo Chiat Complex to City Plaza.
Most transfer activity in Eunos has always occured along Jalan Eunos, rather than the interchange, except during peak hours where passengers want a seat on routes 60, 63 and 94.

Eunos Bus Interchange is to complement Bedok Bus Interchange to serve the people in Bedok, as the capacity of Bedok Bus Interchange is limited.
The other reason is probably because there is a bus terminal at Kallang MRT Station serving Aljunied area, so they have the bus interchange at Eunos MRT Station to serve Bedok area, to maximise resources.
Originally posted by SMB128B:24 is reliable??!!
Coming from a daily commuter of 24 in its eastern stretch I can tell you it is the contrary.
24 should consider skipping certain sectors of its route, to shorten its travel time while retaining its full route. CGA svcs also desperately need a terminating point. It's time.
Apparently the terminating point was dismantled 4 years ago
Originally posted by SBS5010P:tmr 76 will start terminating at eunos already.
Im afraid they would touch Sv 24 and end it at Eunos as well but if they really do so that means LTA is not focusing on reliability already as 24 is very reliable even though it is a super long loop service.
If they cut 858 i wouldnt be surprised
24 is needed as rail replacement when CGA line malfunction. It serves a similar function as 147 with respect to NEL.

Hi mr iveco, yes you are right. 1 bus route similar to mrt line just in case spoilt. Cheers. Thanks.
70M, 107M, 111, 162M, 700A, 857 can possibly have a proper terminus at Suntec City, which is used as Hippo tour buses, The Original Tour and 7 Singapore Sightseeing lots. This will allow them to have mealbreaks, and drivers to have coffee at Food Republic.
171 and 960 can possibly have a proper terminus at Singapore Flyer, if LTA does not allow roadside parking at Marina Centre Bus Terminal.
36B, 55, 135 and 155 can possibly have a proper terminus at Siglap Road, which can be reactivated should the need arise.

70M,107M,162M and 700A no need terminus as they terminate at Shenton Way during specific times.The Coach shouldnt park at the new Marina Ctr Ter in the first place.If every loop trunk need terminate point in order to enhance frequencies then might as well dont introduce loop service.36,857,966 i agree cause theyre too long but service like 15,55,135 & 155 simply doesnt need a terminus.They can compensate BCs by having more break times at the Interchanges.76 already a wasted resource and we dont want that to happen anymore.LTA also not too free to built more terminals just for the sake of it.The bus plannings is getting more crap than before.

70M,107M,162M like long svc, the loop svc can take almost 3h to clear with peak hour.

Like that no need to loop at Suntec lor,Just make those service terminate at Marina Ctr la..56,75,77 all terminate at Shenton way to make space.

Didn't know 54 terminates at Marina Centre

Typo lar,56
Cannot eh. 857 is a route in which it is very heavily used especially on weekends when people are coming back to Yishun from Little India since it is the only 'northern' route there, unless if a new route is introduced to complement the route (might be shelved for now), but still it is also the only route going back to Yishun from Suntec City especially when there is a train breakdown. Once 857 is made to terminate there, the frequency would be higher and commuters would be irked because it is supposed to run at a constant frequency and more commuters are waiting for the service minute by minute. This goes the same to 859 before it was made as a loop service. When a bus arrives later at Yishun, the longer the frequency would be, not to mention the snaking queue.

Then why svc like 76 which is more shorter than 857 get shortened?

Which explains the necessity for a new interchange / terminal in the downtown area. Marina South ITH is in the plans, though I don't know when it will be ready.

The place where SBS parks, its was always meant to be a coach park, just that SBS got shifted in due to road conditions.

Maybe till 2019 until Marina South ITH is ready.
Originally posted by carbikebus:Maybe till 2019 until Marina South ITH is ready.
Priority should be given for 857 to layover at MS. 970 also can shift there, along with 120 and 122. NBR and SWT need some space freed up.
23 and 62 can be extended to MS. New variant 23A to ply current 23 route.
With120 and 122 out of NBR 36 should start from there.
All, so when are the authorities going to announce the areas for BSEP to be launched for Q2 2016? Cheers. Thanks.

Looks like they are going to skip Q2 after a disastrous Q1 BSEP rubbish improvements.
Suspect the next rollout phase will be in June. We might get a press release at the end of the month. There are still a significant number of services that haven't been rolled out. But judging by the number of new buses coming in, I suspect these will be mainly short routes requiring at most 8-10 buses.
68 is one of them,Maybe the rest wait for Sengkang,Punggol and Hougand expansion.Tampines also might get a couple of new service.I would love to see 513 operate full day just like 518.Runninh with 11 buses with 7 SDs and 4 DDs will be sufficient.
