For any business, you need to keep evolving. Same goes for buses
- you cannot keep the same routes for years. You have to introduce
new ones, modify existing routes, add capacity, work on converting
more commuters to buses with providing better services.
Also, in a country like Singapore one bus change should not be
an issue, especially when we are stressing on QoS of less than 10
mins. Okay to wait for next bus for few minutes. You can't have it
all. Again, this is from a business point of view. If the companies
want to be self-sustaining without government funding.
some of BSEP service had horrible frequency
2-3 806 buses while waiting for a 860.
a major loss is when a system is so inefficient, too many buses
with too little pax, buses with more than 80% full at 85% of the
time, buses cannot clear the load at bus stops, major bus transfer
points, major bus hubs, bus interchanges and boarding
terminals.
