I was hoping to set the record straight with solid information
to clear the high seas of rumours and disinformation prevalent in
this community. I was expecting older folks with some institutional
knowledge to offer some useful comment.
Clearly, I was wrong. There are lobbyists who even belittle the
significance of this news.
Perhaps the only explanation is that we now live in a new
generation of young lobbyists who possess zero institutional
knowledge (because it no longer exists) and assume that they know
everything. Hence the responses which IMO is worse than asking any
passerby who possess no prior knowledge of buses.
I truly fear for Singapore's future of public bus
transportation.

Not sure if this is useful,
a few weeks ago, I went onto Ask.fm and asked my friends (around
18/19 yrs old) this question.
Q: In terms of transportion, do you want speed or comfort.
Many of them say they want both speed and comfort.
Some say speed.
Some say it depends on the distance. If short distance, speed.
If long distance, comfort.
In short, we know what we want. Tbh, regarding transport, we
just want to get from point A to point B in the best possible
way.
Well, you know, "best" can mean many things, depending on each
point of view. #justsaying
but really, I do not think we really care what kind of bus is
used. so long as we can board and can go to where we want, can
already.
but still, it really feels good to say that "I am so poor. I can
only take Mercedes to school." :)
