just want to say something on "route suggestions".
We have to be realistic that LTA:
-- will not make any changes to existing bus services (too
cowardly and scared to do that) - so whether it is route cutting,
diversion, bus stop skipping... i don't think it will happen
-- need to see more evidence from LTA that is is interested in
long routes.. after last year's 972, no long route has been
introduced... seems like only feeders and short haul services...
not that I support it.. but just seems that way
-- in the 5 new services to be launched also... the way the
description is mentioned.. seems like it is all feeder/short haul
service for particular estate
With all this, do we still feel giving this long route
suggestions makes any sense anymore?
Personally, I feel that the re-routing of bus route 189 and the
introduction of bus route 201 is an indication that LTA is
exploring the idea of re-drawing bus networks.
This may be a preview of the changes to bus networks in Tuas,
Jurong Industrial Estate and Jurong West when the new Joo Koon Bus
Interchange opens.
