Official May 2017 BTO

[coolhead]

Depends on luck.



lol, 1 to 3 trains now, maybe wait 3 to 6 trains in 5 years when all the new BTOs are completed in Sengkang, Punggol, Hougang and Bidadari. I think it may even be worse than NS line .

nett nett there'll be minimal impact. In order for the trains to move seamlessly like a mechanical clockwork, each train will have more or less the same stopping time at each station. For those at Woodleigh moving towards city, the previous station is Serangoon, a major MRT and bus interchange. This is where alot of passengers get in and out of the train. But the stopping time remains the same and this means not all passengers will be able to board the train. That's why I have been able to get on the woodleigh train all the time. Squeezy yes, but I can get on all the time.

However, those at Potong Pasir/Boon Keng will kenna since these are residential areas and more people board the train than alight. Farrer park has quite equal number of alighting and disembarking passengers.

Little India has alot of passengers alighting, only slightly less than Dhoby Ghaut. Dhoby Ghaut you see alot of passengers alight and some getting on, but a net decrease in passengers on train. And so on and so for.

For those at Bidadari, in order for you not to get on the train, you will need the train operator to increase the stopping time at each station, but as it is, this is not really possible in order to maximise the number of trains moving thru stations per unit time.

This is my observation.

r there no buses around e bidadari area?

dunno about future plans though I know there'll be an interchange at woodleigh in future.

But now, there are the following buses along upper serangoon road at bidadari: 13, 133,135, 147,100,107,853.

Probably 1 or 2 more I missed out.

When there is no space or ppl refuse to move in, train stop for 5 mins also can't get in.

Just my experience using the NEL for the past 5 years.

ddos attack on hdb web site? cant apply wor

Just my experience using the NEL for the past 5 years.

I have been taking NEL since the start of it...
and all these while board from Potong Pasir...

Of coz if one is to take the train between 7am to 8am.. shouldn't have any difficulty in getting in.
Any time after 8:15 will be difficult.

I have been taking train at diff timing in the morning, depending on what time I wish to be in office.

I did mentioned that for the current state of things, those at potong pasir and boon keng will kenna the bad congestion. Not so for those at woodleigh since Serangoon mrt interchange was the previous station. I usually take train around 8.15-8.30a.m....so perhaps we have bumped into each other

Hello guys. Does this current May Bidadari does not include service yard for 4 rooms? If no, does anyone know how do we dry our clothes? Like the old flats where we hang them out? Or? Please advise. Ty

from the looks of the floor plan, it look like will be hanging out of the window from the kitchen

depending on what time I wish to be in office.

how I wish I could be like you, can choose the time to be in office!

Official is 9.. but have to be earlier than that.
How much earlier would depends on myself.

Example: I am taking NEL now and definitely can walk in without squeezing and train rage. Haha
