Hi mr iamgoondu, you are wrong. I am an ex-resident of holland.
For ghim moh and holland residents, there are many ways to go to
bukit timah and dunearn road. There is really no need for
introducing Sbs 126 to cover that part and indirectly also
duplicate sbs 111 for orchard connection.
Ghim moh residents now can walk to holland road to take bus 77
or 970 and connect to sbs 156 to go to dunearn rd and bukit timah.
They can also take sbs 165 to Farrer rd to connect to sbs 174. For
holland residents, they have sbs 48. So chill down please. There
are more than enough alternatives if you don't want sbs 74. I am
afraid you did not analyse the traffic alternatives well. No need
to pity the ghim moh residents. They are very near the buona vista
mrt station which is an interchange. I can even say they are quite
well pampered. Cheers. Thanks.
1. Do you know how winding 74 is?
2. Do you know how terrible the frequency of 156 can be?
3. Do you think every single Ghim Moh resident wants to walk all
the way to Holland Road?
4. Do you really think Ghim Moh has enough bus services
nowadays?
PS. Don't forget the proposed 126 also connects Bukit Timah to
Newton and Orchard, which would be even more important if 171 is
shortened/withdrawn. And at the end of the day, if you don't like
126, you can always divert the route to somewhere else. No need to
criticise others' suggestions like that just because it seems to
duplicate existing routes in you opinion.
What you're doing is more like, "Punggol residents don't need
another service because they now can take sbs 3 to TPE bus stop or
take sbs 83 to Punggol Rd and transfer to other
services. There are more than enough alternatives if you don't
want sbs 117. I am afraid you did not analyse the traffic
alternatives well. No need to pity the Punggol residents. They
are very near the Punggol mrt station which is an interchange with
LRT. I can even say they are quite well pampered. Cheers.
Thanks. "
