Toa Payoh's First Feeder in 40 YEARS - Its Route & Obstacles Preventing Its Launch

[@draconitedragons]

I love the kickdown, I hope you can do more video of it especially the Scania K230UB

[@SBS2831GTransportations]

Thanks!

[@advaiththeking]

WOW

[@yellowcupgal5188]

So they just released the poster for 230 and they made it loop clockwise for some reason.

[@DeevilStudios]

I had a feeling it was gonna be clockwise as soon as I saw a rectangular construction site along the north direction of Toa Payoh East (Kim Keat).

[@AridChannelOfficialSG]

The bus stops on the anticlockwise side of the loop would be built when 230 is merged with 232

[@lzh4950]

Probably so that the bus stop served by 230 is on the same side of the road as Kim Keat Beacon BTO (whose residents would be the target audience of 230)

[@yellowcupgal5188]

I guess that makes sense, similar how why 334 loops clockwise too@@lzh4950

[@attasaravani3048]

I LOVE YOU 230 !

[@not_SG5912Z]

"...junction of Toa Payoh East and Toa Payoh East..." bro im dead lol

[@sbs2828s]

i mean its actually like that irl LOL

[@zbkvolgren]

230 will be merged with 232 to form 232G/232W in future btw It's only an interim service

[@AridChannelOfficialSG]

Yeah, the "Lor 7 and Lor 8" part probably refers to the merged 230-232 route

[@therevivalawaken.]

I don't think they will ever do 232G/W again

[@therevivalawaken.]

@@zbkvolgren why would they make 232G/W again tho?

[@zbkvolgren]

cos they thought it'd be better to consolidate all resources into G and W rather than operate 2 separate services

[@placeholderblankspace]

sauce?

[@yellowcupgal5188]

Great video as always. Would love to see a bus service serve the Kim Keat area as soon as possible eventually too ngl

[@sbs2828s]

thank you for the compliment!

[@yellowcupgal5188]

@@sbs2828s np!

[@placeholderblankspace]

I mean I can't say I'm a big fan of fleet cuts of one service just so we can add a new service, although if 230 is more of a route variant of 238 than an entirely unique route it's probably fine. As for alternative routes it'll be interesting to see what LTA decides to do, but wah a bit heart pain if you stay so near by to the city centre yet the only bus that serves ur area detours thru another area alr served by a bus (although yes, ik 232 isn't direct to tpy either). But if they're gonna route it thru Lor 7 then you'll see bus stops being built there soon, so no need to speculate yet. As for whether it'll be an area loop around Kim Keat or looping at the roundabout like 235... i suspect depends on what roads are built by the time of implementation.

[@yellowcupgal5188]

Might as well just say, 238M.

[@sherr_069]

the creator just being serious and jon just advertising yoyic at the side 😭

[@sbs2828s]

HAHAHAH

[@naorierangeenviro500]

4:26 new bus bay but 230 planned to do loop sector from tpy East then kim keat ave thats y they wan 2 way

[@kiensing3034]

Just go Lor 6, tpy east, Kim Keat beacon. Lor 7 lor 8, turn left to lor 6(Blk 1). Then lor 6 then lor 7 n Kim keat beacon n back to interchange. At least can get easier access to lor 8 market and serve those Blk 225/226/3/4 paxes instead of using the current 238.

[@naorierangeenviro500]

one of the tpy mp accidentally leaked route of 230

[@sgstuff1152]

there was a photo somewhere of that MP holding the introduction poster with its route diagram shown, forgot where it originated from

[@jinhuakuek5351]

Maybe the berths could move, e.g. 142 moved to B4 to accommodate 230.

[@YaoboyProd2K15]

There is no official launch date for 230, and its yet to be confirmed.

[@YaoboyProd2K15]

That date is finally confirmed, its now official that 230 will start from 24 September onwards.

[@joyseng]

It would have been more fun if they have selected 234 instead of 230 as the bus number.

[@yellowcupgal5188]

In fact only 5 feeders in Singapore end with the digit 0 (240, 300, 800, 900, 920)

[@joyseng]

@@yellowcupgal5188 Interesting!

[@yellowcupgal5188]

@@joyseng In comparison to the feeders ending in 4: 284 324 334 354 374 384 804 904 944

[@jinhuakuek5351]

It's actually nice that they chose 230 (239 is also possible) since 230 was a historical route from Toa Payoh Town Centre to Lorong 8

[@placeholderblankspace]

is there really that much thought put into bus numbers other than just smacking a number on it? obv for feeders there's the categorising of the first two digits but like idk how it makes a difference lol

[@yellowcupgal5188]

9:36 "Anj Mo Kio" TTS my ass

[@sbs2828s]

text to speech is weird yes

[@yellowcupgal5188]

9:08 In that case, then I would probably see 230 (or I'd rather number it as 239) looping in a figure-8 fashion like this: Lorong 6 -> Lorong 7 -> Toa Payoh East -> Kim Keat Roundabout -> Toa Payoh East -> Lorong 6

[@jessoncho5190]

Ah yes

[@TWGF1853]

230 going to lor 7 is good but longer travelling time for kim keat people, how bout 230 and 230M

[@timelapsesofsingapore5674]

Nahh what if 230 is a dual loop service?

[@placeholderblankspace]

i mean you could, but the only untouched area on the West side of TPY is TPY West, and there's like nothing there except maybe SJII, so like... a bit pointless as of now?
