Verifying Fare Console Accuracy
FEEDBACK NUMBER: 20091030-0080
We refer to your email of 29-Oct-2009.
Since 2007, every bus stop islandwide have comprehensive bus
service information posters which includes the bus routes and its
relevant fare info. This render the fare stage info at the
bus pole redundant. Hence, commuters are advised to refer to
these information posters for details on their fare charges.
The bus fares to the destinations are differentiated by the colour
bands for easy reference. Given its limited space, it would not be
feasible to display fare stage information on the new bus
poles.
We thank you for writing in.
Yours sincerely

As expected, nothing in their email shows any relevance to the
subject matter which is 'Verifying Fare Console
Accuracy'.
Maybe someone else should ask them how to make sure the fare
consoles are correct before tapping their cards without bringing in
the new bus stop poles.
So there we have it; we are expected to trust that GPS works
accurately all the time.
As for me, I'll be carrying my TransitLink Guide and
scruitinizing the stage and time stated on the consoles before
tapping my card.
