They should also think of the travelling time to Pioneer Rd
Nth for this service during the evening peak hrs.
502/ 502B should never had thought of using Boon Lay during
the peak hrs. Last 2 weeks, I still see 502B stuck at Boon Lay way
at about close to 7pm.
The route can also be improved by letting the bus service
running in anti-closewise direction since now it is a one-way route
in the city. That means it will goes to Marina Bay sands first then
back to Orchard then to Soon Lee. This will also helps to avoid the
heavy traffic along Orchard Rd.
most of the pax are not on that side of the road. PTC won't
approve. not forgetting a double loop in e marina area just to
serve suntec along temasek blvd/ave.
well, what if people start complaining long waiting times in the
evening peak for any kind of relavent sv502 variant that brings
them home? after all, people can't be late for work, whereas fewer
people have to meet a timeline for going home lest they get fired
from home.
of course, as a resident of Pioneer, you can seek your MP or
SLBP friend's help to feedback, they might consider it seriously.
but i can foresee headway nearing 40mins after the last 502A/502B
has left, versus a maximum headway of 20mins after 7.45pm and
13-14mins before.
