Don't ever forget,The more service you get,The more congested the Interchange will be and uour travelling time will be increased just to see buses exiting/entering bus berths.

Not just interchanges, but on the roads, just look at Eunos Link/Jln Eunos, queues of buses lining up at the bus stops. What they should do is to have different boarding zones at those long bus stops, buses are currently stopping 2 or even 3 times at the same bus stop before moving off because passengers at the front end of the bus stop are unwilling to move to the rear end to board, of course they should also build a bay for these bus stops to allow buses to overtake buses in the other section. If they have more space, they could try mutiple bus stops eg MacRitchie/old Telok Ayer/Old Victoria Concert Hall bus stops. This should speed things up by a little for passengers.

That's why I said "IF"
Originally posted by dupdup77:Hi mr busanalyser, the Sengkang expansion is permanent. Not temp. Sengkang current interchange only has 16 lots which is insufficient. The expansion will give it additional 12 lots. These are meant for BSEP coming up. This expansion and buangkok ITH are two different issues.
The buangkok ITH is to be built with residential and commercial sites. With many more flats coming up, buangkok is expected to be self-sufficient without relying on Sengkang interchange. However all these are still far fetched. Expect lots of population boom around the area in Yr 2022 onwards. Cheers. Thanks.
That's why I said "in case" it is temporary.

True,Add buses like siao
Just look at Boon Lay,Bedok,Tampines,Punggol,Ang Mo Kio,Woodlands to name a few.
Find parking space already wasted BC rest/mealbreak time..Exiting also problem..All waiting for accidents to happen.To create space,LTA purposely ask BCs to take bus to depot then another shift take over etc..
I ever done a svc 2 duty start at 0600 end at 1545 Lydep..Then at 1800 Pm shift svc 43 use that bus until 2210 Lydep again..

Hi mr TIB585L, times have changed. Cheers. Thanks.

I did mah,Arrive 11 mins earlier at PSR Int..Subsequent trips I purposely give late at Bedok int
Someone said the expansion of Sengkang interchange is called "Compassvale Bus Interchange". The sg maps now shows the piece of land names "Sengkang Bus Interchange expansion".
I liked when it was called "Compassvale" easier to differentiate.

Likewise for Tampines. It is called "Tampines bus interchange extension"

it's Compassvale Int lah bro.
Is there a sign there to indicate? Maybe sg maps put the name as a placeholder till official announcement.
Both Sengkang and Tampines bus interchange extensions are ready. Dec like every year will have at least announcement of 4-5 new services.
Last year was 47, 117, 118 and soon after was 382G/W.

rode 168 to woodlands just now & pass by these 2 places:
Tampines Extension Int
2 boarding berths, 6 queues. means can have 6-8 services there in the future?
Seletar Depot
and yes, got 1 part of parking space ready. I saw 4 office containers. 1 of the containers is in purple & orange in colour (SBST services going to park there?) & the other one is red colour rings (what company is that?) & the other 2 is just plain white.

Hi mr azharjj, tampines extrension int is meant for 4-5 new BSEP buses. Not 8. Take note that there are 12 parking lots. Also take note tampines side does not need so many additional bus services at this location because they are going to build another tampines north bus interchange at the new bto sites area. The exact location is tampines street 62. The new tampines north interchange will be integrated with a mall. Cheers. Thanks.

Don't read too much about the containers, they can be sold to the construction company by various sources.
Once SMRT start ONP at Seletar,I believe 961 & 985 will park at Amdep instead.Those parking at Yishun will park at Seletar instead.

Bukit Panjang ITH is a real joke. 24 lots and only 1 alighting berth?

Hi mr sbs3004X, why do you think it is a real joke? Bukit Panjang ITH was already conceptualised and designed way back in 2012. At that time, it was not planned for any BSEP. So why real joke? Cheers. Thanks.

even if you want more than 24 lots there won't be any space also... don't make a joke out of urself
