Hi mr BusAnalyser, I think they will let it ply the major road
hougang ave 9 first. Demand for main road should still be satisfied
first. Residents along hougang st 51, 91, 93 can still walk to
buangkok green and hougang ave 9, the 2 major roads. If the need
really arises, another bus service must go into these little
streets. Cheers.
So all that I have written about no-demand - you really did
not read that right. HG Ave 9 has a lot of services to cater.
HG St 51 has only 101 in one direction, st 91/93 a part of it has
no service. But they should walk. Even though HG Ave 9 residents
have luxury of a 72 DD every 05/06 mins. If a 116 follows a 72, it
will not have more than 10-15 pax on board.
Take the bus. LTA should also come out of their office and take
the bus during peak hours and they will know. A 116 before 72 can
take few pax, but that is not how you judge the need of a service
because then the 72 behind will go empty when it can take the
pax.
anyway, it is all fail fail here... useless management.
