120 modified? like what u say? extended to kent ridge or west
coast ah? then isnt it duplication of 176/143/30/10
etc???
113 - there are still paxes who take 113 between HG/Kovan...
your mindset is still to fill the buses with paxes... just like
what u think previously when sv116 was introduced.... on one hand,
u want to remove the 113 hougang/kovan sector, and on the other
hand, u want to divert 325 to HG St21??
116 - why should they go and put more buses at the nex bus stop?
it is already jammed up like mad when few buses arrive and with the
long queue of taxis... there are already 3 buses (147/43/70 along
the YCK road corridor)...more than enough to meet the demand.. and
with all the downroute, no need for sv116 to call at nex bus
stop...
143 - making the long route, is to cover as a feeder route from
JE interchange...u should know the facts... it wont affect
much ppl as those ppl who wan a direct journey from JE to Pasir
Panjang can take Sv51....or Sv97 to telok blangah... there are
other routes to cover, and that why sv143 go such a long route.. as
for Sv30, so u want LTA to make a flyover specially at Penjuru road
exit for Sv30 to make a right turn into penjuru road??
maybe you should work at LTA instead of coming here and talk
about all these same route rationization in so many threads... keep
on saying the same thing again and again...
Is that the only way 120 can be modified? Think more... There
can be multiple other options... You can start at Rummi Tunggi
Terminal with new stops along Redhill Close and loop @ Tehlok
Blangah MRT via st 31/32... not possible? This way you provide
Tehlok Blangah and Redhill residents with direct MRT connectivity
to both EWL and CCL. Any duplication?
113 - yes any bus you deploy will have some pax. But if you take
away a service, will anyone be really hurt apart from withdrawing
an extra service? Let's see 113. From HCI to HG ave 8, you have 74,
147 in parallel. From HG Ave 8 to Hougang MRT, you have 62, opp
side also 325 to HG MRT. Then you have 62/82/325/107 all going till
HG Ave 2 bus sop. You have 82/107 continue to Kovan. You have 112
join in on HG Ave 2 all the way parallel till HG St 21. Where is
the uniqueness of the route. Buses are deployed every 15/20 mins in
peak hours on this part because of 113A. If the route was useful,
113A would have got crossover buses from some other service. The
high loading point of 113 between Kovan and UPL has been ignored
with no fleet add or capacity upgrade because of Kovan-HG
sector.
325 - If you do the right thing by taking away 113 from HG to
Kovan, 325 should be extended to HG St 21 as it looping back to
interchange is a waste. Those from that one stop along HG Ave 2
have 132 to HG Int, but most people who take MRT prefer to take MRT
at Kovan. Is there any pax from HG MRT stop to HG Int? No. There
are some transfer pax that alight at HG Ave 2 to transfer to
25/55/854 etc. And then some few board towards HCI.
