[b]Motorists giving way
to buses reduced waiting time by up to 80%
SINGAPORE : A simple act of motorists giving way to buses has
reduced a passengers average waiting time for a bus by as much as
80 percent.
SBS Transit said its 19month survey also revealed that waiting
time dropped by at least 38 percent when buses were not obstructed
while exiting bus bays.
To encourage motorists to help the 2.2 million bus passengers have
a smoother ride, the company will launch its second campaign to
help spread the message among drivers.
Friendly drivers spotted giving way to buses will receive a S$10
petrol voucher and a thank you letter.
Starting in November, to spread the word even further, SBS Transit
will also give out air fresheners in the shape of a bus, to drivers
at seven McDonalds drivethrough outlets. CNA /ls[/b]
I guess motorists would look at this article, talk about it,
then go back to jamming up the roads. What's the use when you don't
have stricter reinforcements, like deduction of merits?
