they could just update the soft copy with the new names and
leave the hard copy as it is.
the fact is machines read all types of data. the five digit
numbers happens to be the unique identifier for that bus stop. bus
stop code, bus stop description (name), bus services, bus routes,
destination, arriving time. system can read the record for this bus
stop given the unique identifier.
we are used to bus stop names, stations names or how many stops
away from this stop or reference point. bus stop number 46509 or
opposite marsiling station, which is clear to you? likewise, ns13
or yishun, is clear to you? bus stop names are not unique, blk 322
can refer to bus stop 59359 or 54247. how important are the names
to you?
After taking the time to read through, I still have no idea what
your opinion is.
I shall keep my stuff succinct:
1. It is not critical compared to bus-stop code.
2. I can live with out-dated bus-stop names.
3. The staff at LTA are already close to being worked to death
trying to do many things you guys asked for (notwithstanding the
ridiculous ones).
At the end of the day, instead of asking the govt what it can do
for you, by the same token, you should ask what can you do for the
govt as well.
Many here will probably not take the above sentence well. But
it's ok to me. For every rigid fellow who refuses to accept or
adapt to the realities, there will be people to take advantage and
benefit.
Who you choose to be, is ultimately your choice. Not LTA's.
Mind too small to see this big picture? It's also ok.
