Hi mr jurongwestresident, 2 issues.
Firstly, there is this connection for years and it is suddenly
removed. Residents will definitely voice out. If it happens to you,
will you keep quiet and accept it?
Secondly, not every resident is as fit as you. Can walk and run!
There are residents from 7 yrs old to 90 years old. Some may be
carrying heavy bags, some may be having two hands full of
groceries, some just don't like walking, some unfit, older
residents have medical condtions to legs. Some are going to run
errands then transfer again (so no extra cost). So your statements
are not too valid. Cheers.
Alternatively, what we can do is to continue to have the current
route 300 and the proposed new 301.
Except, route 300 skips Ave 5 & route 301 is re-routed.
Since the demand for bus connection to Choa Chu Kang Avenue 1
and Avenue 2 is so strong, we should let routes 300 and 301
duplicate at this section (Ave 3 - Ave 1 - Ave 2 - CCK Way - CCK
Ave 4 - CCK Loop)
To reduce duplication, what we can do is to revert route 300
back to it's current route, except now we make it skip CCK Ave
5.
To compensate for the loss of connection between CCK Ave 5 and
CCK Ave 4, and to provide for a shorter connection to Choa Chu Kang
Bus Interchange, we can have that new trunk route 983 which has
this section in its route:
In short, simply make the current route 300 skip CCK Ave 5,
change the planned route 301 and continue to have route 983 as
originally planned.
Keep the current route 300 and have new routes 301 and
983.
