But we needed some extension from bus service 461. The route would be: Yishun Ave 7 (Start at Opp Blk 288) , Yishun Ave 6 (To Opp Blk 334D), then skipped along Yishun Ave 6, Yishun St 42 and started to saved one stop along Yishun Ave 1 (Bef Yishun Ave 6) then skipped along Yishun Ave 1, Yishun St 41 and saved another one bus stop along Yishun Ring Rd (Opp Blk 672C) than skipped along Yishun Ring Rd and finally terminated at Khatib Stn Exit D.
I put this is because we also needed two existing bus stop (Bef Yishun Ave 6, because some of them wanted to go to XCL World Academy) and (Opp Blk 672C, because some of them also wanted to go to Wisteria Mall). Since there were so many people to alight at Khatib Stn Exit D, I put that service 461 has a better route.
The last thing that I tell you is the bus operator of service 461. It is a AM/PM bus operator and operated by Tower Transit by Sembawang-Yishun bus package. This route is similar to existing service 861, and the new category was bus service 861X (either will be renumbered to bus service 461). As the reminder, there were no interchange from this bus. And it seemed that it is not operated by SBS Transit, otherwise, it will be not related to the other existing bus services. Hopefully, bus services 461 will be the fastest trip when you go to Khatib Stn.
I think bus 461 will be Tower Transit as it is in the Yishun and Khatib area
They might convert the current 861A AM downroutes from Symphony Suites Condo into this 461, starting from the same bus stop
The route would then be: Yishun Ave 6 – St 42 – Ave 1 (Opp Blk 469A/469B) – Express sector along Ave 1 – Khatib MRT
I’m really hoping they use the Ave 2 stops for Khatib MRT, NOT the Ring Rd stops which are already crowded to the core during peak hours. Using the Ave 2 stops also mean you’re dropping pax off on the opposite direction of the high peak hour crowd flow (ie, 461 AM drops off at Bef Khatib Stn, while all the crowding is actually at Opp Khatib Stn).
Plus, Ring Rd closer to Khatib MRT gets congested easily, so I’m hoping 461 takes the express route via Yishun Ave 1 – Yishun Ave 2 instead, following 117 rather than 861
Confirmed it will be TTS. Who else? I suspect it could be the express feeder version of 861. Anyway, it seems Yishun and Tengah keep getting new services and always TTS. I know, I know. Because Yishun-Sembawang package and Bulim package under them. Anyway, I feel Bulim package might get adjusted because too many services already. I honestly feel Clementi services like 96,282,284,285 can go back to Clementi package since Bulim now got Tengah, Bukit Batok, Jurong East under their care.
Yes, 96 either extend to J East or together with Clementi feeders better go Clementi package but temporary Ulu Pandan purview.506 should bundle up with Bulim.
801 & 825 go Seletar better, 851,851e and 852 transfer to Mandai.963,963e give back to SMRT Woodlands with 962 under Mandai.
SBS Transhit or Toilet Transit?
