Maybe its not worth it for such a long trip? People rather
take the MRT or change buses?
And also because of the extension, the bus trip would have to start
earlier and people have to wake up earlier, defying the purpose of
Premium Service?
let's say if the Premium trip has to end by 0845hrs. If extend to
suntec means the bus trip have to be pushed forward by 5min. A
little unfair for Shenton Way folks
Let's say the Premium trip starts at the same time but ends at
Suntec. How much is the catchment at Suntec as compared to the
entire financial district across the river?
The Premium will still serve its purpose. Its a matter of
viability and opportunity cost for them to run into Suntec. Dont
forget there's still the right turn at Bras Basah Rd junction.
talking about suggested extension of SBST Premium
svcs from Fullerton Rd to Suntec, SBST replied me that
they are unable to do so because these buses got no time for such
extensions as they got to switch to serve other routes after the
Premium trip ends at Fullerton. Fullerton to Suntec take up so much
extra time???
I thought after the Premium trip, the morning peak going to end
liao?? and some buses preparing to return to depot?
After the Premium trip, majority of the buses will go back to the
parent service to do another trip before retiring to the depot for
the morning. There are only some of them that return straight to
the depot.
