Reason for route change:
This provides more connection to North East Line MRT Stations
(Clarke Quay Station)
It will be too congested and direct connection from the CBD area
to different parts of Singapore would be lost.
I would suggest this:
Buses heading towards Nicoll Highway/Beach Rd: Remain to use
Esplanade Drive to Nicoll Highway/turn left to Stamford Rd before
hitting Beach Road
Buses heading towards City Hall/Dhoby Ghaut/Orchard Rd: Use
Fullerton Rd/Connaught Dr then turn right to Stamford Rd
Reason being Esplanade Dr on certain timing has tourist buses
parked at one lane and there are huge loads of traffic.
IMO, if buses were to be amended to Connaught Dr, it would be
faster and less time consuming with more bus option for passengers
to get to the nearest MRT station after shows at VIctoria
Concert Hall/Theatre.
Currently buses served Victoria Theatre/Concert Hall bus
stop:
75: Nearest MRT Station: (Esplanade)
100: Nearest MRT Station: (Kallang) (along the bus route, no
nearest MRT station unless you consider Bugis and Lavender)
107: Nearest MRT Station: Lavender (Operates till 7+ before
operating 107M)
130: Nearest MRT Station: City Hall (Does it still stops at Coleman
St?)
131: Nearest MRT Station: City Hall (Capitol Bus Stop)
167: The only sole bus that goes to town: Dhoby Ghaut, Somerset,
Orchard, Newton, Novena
