Hi mr carbikebus, are all these approved by LTA? What I know is
Go Ahead can only manage the depots and buses. As for bus route
planning, it is LTA prerogative. Not the service provider. Cheers.
Thanks.
Technically the 518 case isnt so much of a route amendment, it
all depends on what you define as "amendment"... Since there are no
bus stops in between it may not be counted as an "amendment" since
no passengers are affected in that sense...
Besides if you read the conditions for Express svcs it clearly
stated that "Different routings along Express sectors may be used
with varying traffic conditions"... This means that the express
sector is by itself flexible in nature, and if it means reduced
travel time (which is true in this case) then BCs are in fact
ENCOURAGED to take alternatives...
