Back to Bus Services
It would be worth considering whether Service 831 G/W, along with future feeder services serving Tengah, could operate entirely within Tengah.
For 831 G/W, the current routing via Tengah Park Avenue and Bukit Batok Road could potentially be replaced by Tengah Boulevard and Plantation Crescent. The northwestern section could also be routed via Tengah Garden Walk and Tengah Park Avenue to connect with Tengah Bus Interchange.
This would allow 831 G/W to operate as a genuinely 100% Tengah feeder service. The same principle could be applied to future feeder services, where practical, keeping them within Tengah rather than extending onto roads outside the town.
There are several practical operational benefits to this approach. Avoiding external roads, particularly Bukit Batok Road, would reduce the feeders’ exposure to traffic conditions outside Tengah. Their reliability and operational consistency could instead depend primarily on Tengah’s purpose-built road network, which was planned and modeled as part of the town’s development.
Keeping feeder routes within Tengah could also provide greater flexibility for future service planning and restructuring. As Tengah’s population and travel patterns develop, services could be adjusted around internal travel demand and interchange requirements without unnecessarily relying on external road corridors.
In the longer term, the opening of Tengah Bus Depot could provide greater scope for these feeder services to be operated and maintained within Tengah itself. This could support a more coherent operating structure and provide a consistent framework for planning future feeder services.
Where practical, future feeder services serving Tengah could therefore be planned with the objective of remaining entirely within the town. Over time, this could establish a distinctive and self-contained feeder network that makes full use of Tengah’s purpose-built urban and transportation infrastructure.
