51 should remain as 51. Do not have to cut into half. If it is
cut half, people in Geylang/Eunos will have a hard time to travel
to Alexandra Rd, they might have to walk a long way from Geylang Rd
to Guillemard Rd to take 197. People along Queenstown MRT will also
lose a bus to travel to Eunos Link, they might have to walk to
Queensway to take 93. Besides, people along Chin Swee Rd will have
no bus to go to Geylang Serai. This will bring in incovenient to
the people living or working in certain areas along the
route.
Just an example, I stayed in Hougang Ave 9, the SBST cut away 103
and left them to travel between Jalan Kayu and Serangoon. Now I
don't have a direct bus to Chinatown. They have forced us,
indirectly though, to take the NEL, in the end, we have to pay
more. In order to save money, I walked to ave 8 to take 147.
As for 61. Areas such as Holland Rd and Clementi Rd does not have a
direct bus service to Chinatown, cut off 61 and let it terminate in
HBF will bring some inconvenient to the people living, working and
studying in the mentioned areas. Meanwhile, Holland Rd does not
have a bus to MacPherson Rd/Circuit Rd estate.
