well, it is quite frustrating when you are at a bus stop waiting
for a bus to arrive, then you thought you saw your bus arriving,
get excited, then realised that actually, it is another bus service
that has a bus number that looks identical to the bus service you
want to take.
It is even worse when you end up taking the wrong bus service
because you saw the wrong bus number and mistakenly took the wrong
bus, thinking that it is the right bus.
I feel that LTA should re-number some bus services to avoid
anymore confusion. To minimise short-term impact, the re-numbering
should be done on bus services that are newer or less used. (I do
not think there would be long-term impact)
For instance, at Clementi area, bus numbers 105 and 185 look
very identical. To avoid confusion, I think 185 (introduced in
december 2006) should be
re-numbered to another number that can distinct it from the other
bus services in Clementi, Jurong East and Jurong West.
How about improving the signage as an alternative option? What
can be done better?
