I thought this would be suitable to suggest.
Current Service 168
route to Woodlands (Part)
Bedok Reservior Road
...
- Opp Bedok Reform Trg Ctr
Tampines Ave 1
- Opp SAFRA Tampines
Tampines Ave 5
- Blk 938
Tampines Ave 4
- UOB Tampines Ctr
...
And vice-versa for the Bedok-bound route.
But this route largely duplicates a number of services, most
notable being Service 21, which also uses this same route. What I
suggest is...
Amended Service 168
route to Woodlands (Part)
Bedok Reservior Road
...
- Opp Bedok Reform Trg Ctr
Tampines Ave 4
- Opp East View Pri Sch
- St. Hilda's Sec Sch
- Opp Blk 945
- UOB Tampines Ctr
...
And vice-versa for the Bedok-bound route.
Not that I'm being biased (should pay partly), but I have
reasons why.
1. Like I have earlier said, that part of the current Service
168 route largely duplicates Service 21, so maybe there should be
an alternative in terms of the routing.
2. Tampines Ave 4; Street 91 residents only have
Service 22 (and 68 before it's withdrawal on 11 Aug 08)
serving their house. They would have to go to Tampines or Bedok
Reservior and transfer back to their intended route to head to a
destination.
(Say that the resident wants to go to Woodlands. He/She needs to go
back out to Bedok Reservior, cross the road and transfer to Service
168. What a hassle!)
3. We have students from all the three schools (served mainly by 22
and 293) who are mostly Bedok residents. There is no direct
connection from that area to Bedok North Ave 3. The students
there have to thus take 22 and then transfer to another Bedok-bound
service. It's troublesome.
What do you think?
Why not like this?
Your suggestion make it like this:
168M:Morning Trip:Bedok Int to Tampines Ave 4(St Hildas Pri
Sch)
:Evening
Trip:Tampines Ave 4(Bus Stop opp St Hildas Pri Sch) to Bedok
Int
So 168A will continue it's current trip.
What do all think to my suggestion?
