How many from MT will actually take the svc beyond PP and PL,
realistically speaking? And 134 does the exact same job too. Only a
small minority will have to transfer and wait, even if so in a
common well-sheltered bus stop. For the rest it's just far more
reliable waiting times.
And sorry hor, not everyone could walk okay. Maybe those staying
near the big road will prob go ahead without 76/134, but majority
of MT ppl stay deeper in, and definitely a bus at the doorstep
could help. Furthermore, quite a large part of the residents
comprise of elderly. Have you thought about them?
You are quite right, the elderly/some pax really depend on 76 at
marine terr to board incl piw. Even tho the freq can go up to 15
mins or so during off peak.
And they even made silver zones for the elderly along marine
terr/cres due to it, however I still dont get it that why must they
make two lanes into one and the single lane is too narrow.
There is a bottle neck in the morning along the two areas due to
the schools nearby some sections of the road should not merge into
one lane.
However, still not much publicity of the new 134/76/150 on buses
and bus shelters.
But I still feel that from opposite Parkway parade the freqs of
both 196/76 could be better managed on weekdays, always end up
196/76 end up together and the next 196 or 76 comes in 10 minutes
or so. 134 could improve the bus bunching between 196/76 that often
happens, have a feeling 134 will help on that.
