Staggered Bus Stops

0 Comments

Main article: Bus Stops

Staggered bus stops are commonly found in the city, along roads which experience high volumes of vehicular and human traffic. They help disperse traffic by grouping bus services which are heading towards a similar general direction. By separating route groups and allocating separate bus stops for each group, commuters can be spread out into different bus stops while still having multiple bus services to their destinations.

Not all bus services are staggered at bus stops. Sometimes, regular bus routes call at staggered stops not allocated to their route group because they are unable to call at the subsequent stop (Hill Street has a number of cases).

Bus services that serve the front stop would turn off Marine Parade Rd towards Telok Kurau Rd, Siglap Rd or Still Rd Sth, while other bus services serving the rear stop would either proceed along Marine Parade Rd to Bedok Sth Ave 1, or turn off towards Marine Cres.

However, without prior announcement, the new bus stop commenced operations on Sunday, 9 Jun 2024, in conjunction with the relocation of several bus services from the original Bus Stop 92041 (rear bus stop). The front bus stop number was reverted back from 92041A to 92041 by 15 Jun 2024.

Section D: Former Staggered Stops

While many existing bus stops have been newly staggered in recent years, other previously staggered bus stops were integrated into a single bus stop, as traffic at these bus stops have reduced in recent years or fewer services are serving the staggered bus stops.

The table below indicates other formerly staggered bus stops that were merged into single bus stops:
