You lack the concept of basic demand and supply. If i'm not wrong
you were the one who propose the 241/99 AM Peak xover for whatever
reason you deem fit.
243 199 on its own can simply illustrate everything. These 2
services have buses from each service crossing over to each other.
I think I should give you some questions so that you can understand
it better.
1. Where do 243 199 operate from? Which part of Singapore is
this?
2. With reference to previous question, do you think people who
work in other parts of Singapore had to get up earlier in order to
reach office on time? If no, why?
3. Where does 199 serve? Does it have a niche market to cater to?
If no, explain.
4. With reference to Q3, do you think putting more buses on it
before 0800hrs do any good to the service? Why?
5. Do you think we should simply eliminate crossover services and
just plant them as split shifts that stay on their own service?
Explain.
If you can answer all 5 questions correctly, then this thread
would not be created.
Okay, I will reply ur question:
1. 243- BNL to JW N7 (wit both plates) 199- BNL to NTU. West
side (Near Tuas)
2. Yes. If their work starts at around 8am, they should wake up
early in order not to be late sue to traffic jam.
3. NIE, part of NTU (Most of NTU are supplied by old 199 routes-
currently 179). Not really. It is because 199 covers minority of
NTU route.
4. Yes. People who need to go work no need to wait longer for a
bus.
5. No. Currently, there are lacking of drivers. So, SBST wants
some of BC 2 familarise with 2 routes. 1 pro
Btw, thanks 4 ur concern.
