The shuttle services have been misused by many people
anyway.
I have seen many people taking the shuttle bus to travel between
Tiong Bahru and Redhill MRT or between Red Hill MRT and River
Valley Rd etc
People also abused Suntec & GWC shuttle buses to get between
Chinatown and Suntec in the past. I myself was guilty of that.
I would board the Chinatown MRT-GWC shuttle to GWC, then catch
the other one to City Hall before hopping on the Suntec bus. If 148
wasn't chopped but extended to EUN via Suntec, National Stadium,
Marine Parade & Still Rd South, this would be unnecessary. What
I did cost me zilch in fares but heaps in wasted time.
