  In this case, I don't think his statement about having only 1 alighting berth is wrong. If that's the case, imagine the snaking queue of buses waiting to alight passengers. I am sure they would have planned it better.

  There should be 30 lots. 24 lots is exactly 2 lots per service, which may not be enough for peak hours.

  And if I remember correctly, someone said there was only 1 alighting berth. Can anyone confirm that? It doesn't make any sense.

  pretty sure there will be another bus stop meant for alighting closer to bpj lrt just like before it closed for upgrading to ith. anyways if i remember correctly, the former also had like less than 30 lots only...

  Hi mr iveco, yes the current changi bus park will be demolished soon. It will be closed down on 10 dec to build the East Coast integrated depot which is a multi storey depot housing east-west, downtown, Thomson-east coast mrt lines. It will also house a new multi storey changi bus depot. This east coast intregrated depot was announced sometimes way back earlier this year. Cheers. Thanks.
