people

1) last time bus route designed to parell each other so as to provide better choices to commuters. US

2) some bus route no choice have to parallel other bus route because the area only that main trunk road running.

3) it is common anywhere in he world to have paraell bus route. how would like it if only one bus route run on that road then u have to transfer again at end of road?

4) the way bus routes run around they have no choice but to run alongside another one because they serve diff area further up the route.

5) with the incentive to attract more people to ride transport we SHOULD have even more parallel routes so as to provide more chocies to go from A to b. basically make more routes that have same express n fast styles as other bus services already running.

example say NEW Sembawang to Pasir ris . then best to copy the 969 route usse TPE to tampines. then go PSR. deviate at the TPE exit. these type of route like 969 are called backbone services (my own name) . they set the trend of how u run fast between point A n B.

one example is how 965 first came out as backbone then 85 become use the backbone..

6) therefore this thread is rubbish
