Yup, I did talk about the disadvantage of leaving the pair of
bus stops outside Blk 617 & Blk 537A CP unserved by any full
day bus service in the earlier post. If 972 had not been amended
into Senja Rd/Link, its merger with 922 to ply Bangkit Rd would
have been more justified.
I guess the point I want to make is that it is not very
beneficial in running 922, which duplicates 972 extensively (along
the first pair of Bt Panjang Ring Rd stops, Jelapang Rd, Segar Rd,
Fajar Rd & Bangkit LRT) just because of a few pair of bus stops
not covered by 972. Therefore, if 922 gets withdrawn, the Bangkit
Rd stops can be taken over by 972 to reduce inconvenience as far as
possible. On the other hand, commuters using the skipped pair of
stops can walk to the pair of bus stops nearby along Senja Link, or
a new pair of stops can be erected along Jelapang Rd outside Blk
531 & Blk 533 for the affected commuters.
If the above suggestions are still not good enough, maybe the
additional trunk service for Ring Rd that BusAnalayzer propose can
serve the Blk 617 pair of stops, with 972 amended into Bangkit Rd,
thus eliminating the need for 922. Cheers.
Hi mr SBS7557R, no point to fall back on history. Smrt 972 has
already been re-routed into senja. So 100% will not merge with smrt
922 to ply Bangkit in this case already.
Yes agree with you on smrt 922 on the initial point only. But NO
to its withdrawal and asking smrt 972 to cover its Bangkit stops as
well. Worse is to ask commuters to walk to the other side or erect
new pair of stops as it will be too counterproductive.
1 other bus service must cover the Blk 617 pair of stops or else
don't ever think of removing smrt 922. Another potential uproar
will definitely occur among residents if people always love to
suggest to remove bus services without providing an alternative.
Cheers. Thanks.
