People around Tampines kept complaining about 31 being stuffed
full of ITE Students.
What can the ITE Students do? It's not like they have an MRT
station near their ITE [ Closest is Expo and it is pretty far away
] and the only direct svc is 31.
I still do not get how SBST/LTA plan their routes.
Look at Central ITE.
It has 45, 50, 72, 72A, 72B, 88, 88A, 88B, 159, 159B.
It has 10 services to alleviate the morning crowd.
How about Simei ITE?
31, 31A.
Pathetic.
Simei ITE might be having only 31 and 31A, but just a short walk
and you have # 12, 35, 38 to Tanah Merah as well.
Walk down the road, and you also have svc 2, 9, 10, 17,
48 - so it is not like ITE Simei has no other service apart
from 31.
For ITE AMK also, if you want to take svc 45 you need to walk to
AMK Ave 10 bus stop.
