If ever there are bus services from Buona Vista, Kent Ridge to
Sembawang, Woodlands, passengers may opt for buses over trains.
交通部的目标是,到了2015年,多达80%的公共交通乘客能在一个小时内完成车程,比现有71%的比例高。
Isn't it an easy target? At present, 71% of commuters are able
to complete their journey within an hour, and they would like to
raise it to 80% by 2015, OMG, with circle line and downtown line
coming up by 2015, they still set such a low target?
Why don't we help them to set some more useful targets?
a. train frequencies for circle line to match that of E-W
line.
b. zero downtown for train or bus breakdown.
c. increase train speed by 15% by 2015, say at present it takes
30 minutes to travel from Buona Vista to Lavendar, increase train
speed such that by 2015, it takes only 25.5 minutes for the
same journey.
d. first train to start from 0530h
e. last train to start from 0015h
f. train and bus fares will not be more than 15% of what it
charged now by 2015.
g. introduce bus arrival time display panels to at least 1000
busstops bu 2015.
h. all commuters will be readily to give up their (any) seats to
those who need more than them by 2015.
the list just go on...
