Can Beach Station hold up to 4 bus routes? If yes, we can scrap
188R and 963R and extend their respective parent routes permanently
to Beach Station.
I have rode on 963 a couple of times and would suggest:
1. Keeping the original route on weekdays
2. Extending the route to Sentosa on weekends and public holidays
(and cancel 963R)
My thoughts on 963R are that people seem to regard it as an
alternative to regular 963 and are willing to take bus 963R even if
they are not headed to Sentosa, per se. Also over the course of the
route from Woodlands to HarbourFront, 963R is not significantly
faster than 963 (at best 5 mins faster, I would say). Therefore,
might as well scrap svc 963R and extend 963 to Sentosa on weekends
and public holidays.
