yeah.. theres some sense there.. some commuters benefits from a
direct link/ bus service, however, more bus services usually may
means increased/ worse frequency for some routes which may need to
give up one or two buses. (since theres no withdrawals of services
lately). and with more routes, passenger loads are either diverted
or diluted, means the regular service they took will experience
lesser loads.. good for passengers, bad for operators. more buses
operating means costs will rise like diesel and salary and
maintainance. lets say this route wasnt introduce, commuters will
still use their normal way to go to work, or when a bus is
withdrawn, there will be alternatives.
everybody wants a direct bus to everywhere islandwide.. thats not
possible, but the bus operators had tried to make it as best as
possible for everyone. most importantly, dont introduce new routes
for the sake of it, or to make the facts and figures look
grand!
another fare hike soon?
