42 quite ok imo. freq quite comparable to certain other trunk
svcs in singapore with its two-bus kind of thing.
400 got excuse. nobody take. now they tear down marina there,
everyone at marina bay station bus stop take 402 to go to the
pier.
401 they should just withdraw luhh. got other svcs like 40 or
16/196/197.
191 not that high demand. portsdown area even now with 1 bus the
demand quite low. i realised portsdown not rly that much of an
industrial sort of thing.
115 can withdraw imo. theres other svcs like 81 available. the
only thing is hougang ave 3, maybe wait till distance-based through
fare is implemented lor. den the pax can go up hg ave 3 to xfer to
81. nothing wrong also.
There's this thing in Singapore called the E-Timetable and ETA
plates. Regulars of Sv42 rather wait for a bus to bring them home
rather than to walk up that steep slope. If you are a girl and will
you dare to walk alone at night?
If you said 401 should be withdrawn, please take a look on a
saturday on it's FIRST car at 2pm. The queue is far far longer than
60. Nevertheless for trips after that. It's the only service that
brings you in depth of East Coast Park. Do you think everyone knows
how to walk in there? If weekdays, no choice.
You should see demand of service 115 during the "after marketing
hours" where all the ah ma finished marketing. Although there's
113, the demand of 115 still healthy at certain times during the
day.
Other service like 68 can't run away from the fate of withdrawal
even though they have healthy load with long frequency. They are
regulars who will wait for the bus to bring them out rather than
walk out to Tampines Ave 1.
