Quite far from yishun MRT. They should divert the feeder / intra
town services such that it does Yishun MRT for convenience of
passengers. Services such as 800, 804, 806, 860 at least.
I don't see the need of doing so.
Firstly if you really look at it there isn't a very significant
difference in distance from the MRT for the temp int. Since the
only way to get through there from the MRT is to use the underpass
to Northpoint mall, commuters still have to get to either int via
the mall. Just a difference of direction.
Secondly, the commuters won't be really affected. As you have
said, the feeders and Intratowns. So it is a really common routine
that those staying in the other neighbourhoods will have to first
do all their chores and grocery shopping etc. So maybe the temp
interchange is even better location since according to the map the
int is is in an exact straight line as the MRT and mall. So it's
just a one-stop service to all.
So.. Where do you think is the need now? :)
