There are too many points of failure, they
have no way to control buses on the road and SMS delay problem.
This SMS program is to generate additional
revenue for them and excuse to increasing bus fare again :< this
FANTASTIC program even has a website to support it ([email protected]).
Maybe very soon they will launch another SMS program for us to
vote for best bus service like Singapore Idol. GOOD $$$
ha…
Well... I tried the service at school and so far it's working
well... But of course, when it comes to technology like this,
nothing is 100% reliable.
I guess the LTA gave a 6-month free trial mainly because they
want to use this period to gather any complaints/feedback so that
they can iron out any technical difficulties or problems that might
arise along the way; so that by the time they fully implement it
across the island, hopefully the service will be efficient and
accurate.
That's how they tested the ez-link system as well. They
don't roll out a new system without any trial testing. Of course,
errors are inevitable.
Hence, these 6 months are crucial to the success of the new
system. If anyone has any problems, don't hesititate to let them
know so that they can tweak the problems asap,
especially during the 6mth buffer period.
