The CRRC being taken with the LRT 3rd gen of rolling stock
I strongly think that bus service 161 should have a variant 161M which serves what 83 serves. What I am trynna say is that introduce 161M start from Hougang follow the route till Sengkang and follow 83 route then go on to Woodlands. Since the tpe bus stop is badly crowded, definitely need more bus services to Punggol. *need more trunks*
83 Is basically a variant of 3, which shares all stops in Punggol. The Punggol section is over-demanded if 161M also serves that area meaning that 3 bus routes shares the exact same routing in punggol. 39 and 117 (and to a lesser extent 85) are basically what connects Punggol to the west.
Also TPE’s Bef/Aft Punggol road is not a closed interchange, you can walk from Cove/Meridian LRT to take the bus there. That alone also counts as part of punggol.
Service 83 could extend to Pasir Ris and integrating with Service 68 passing via Punggol East, Sengkang, Buangkok MRT, Hougang, Defu, Bartley Road East, Tampines & Pasir Ris
Horrible idea. Service 68 is badly crowded already in its current route……
I sat on SG6298G on service 83
I am not sure if I was inside the bus that was the photo (SG6298G) above as I forgot the bus driver and the number “609”
Youre gonna be famous if ya on that bus
Bus 83 always get the latest bus models
So far it only got the E12DD and 3-door A95. Hopefully the next DDs won’t go there.
