I am not arguing on which side, but to show that these pax at
scotts road are badly affected too. From my experience, the
affected pax should be relatively high too. Btw,
isn't 502 can be amended to ply the opp side of suntec like
what svc 97 is doing?
Journey time and direct journey is equally important and that
also shows that why Service 502A and 518A are there in the evening
since 2005. These services targets the working adults and evening
crowd. Terminating these 2 services in the evening is a grave
mistake without considering the traffic condition the pax might
face during the PM peak. For the case of the evening headway, I
believe there are actually enough 502 buses but it is because of
the route they had used to get to the city. Most of them are stuck
along Boon Lay Way.
I dun think this time round the amendment of the services had
the need to contact any MP for opinon.
you're being selfish here. why must people from far east plaza
take the shortest route home, if they're already taking the
shortest route there? why for the sake of these people do you
propose that people from suntec cross the road to the other side of
SICEC to wait for the bus? why should we increase the mileage when
the other way works fine?
do you consider how long scheduled headways are running the
variant routes? if there are enough buses then why are the headways
so long after the last 502A/B trips? that's even before we talk
about operated headways. if you think in the current regime of QoS
that direct AND fast journey times is still a priority, tell me why
evening premium trips were rejected outright by PTC. good times are
over.
pray tell, what is LTA & PTC for? you think route amendments
can be carried out independent of PTC? if your MP does not write to
you personally to inform you of the upcoming changes to the bus
routes in your area does not mean he is not in the loop.
