1000th post.
It's been 9 years since I first started posting. Much has
changed since -- the public transport landscape, planning of new
routes / new buses, and not to forget different forumers.
There had been rough times. Crowded buses, MRT breakdowns, BCM
confusion during change of operators, fare hikes etc. There are
also good occasions with better route introductions and improving
MRT-bus connections. It is reported that an important phase of
route rationalisation will take place next year, hopefully it will
bring about reasonable and optimized changes to operations.
As bus enthusiasts, we shall continue to play our part on the
ground to observe deployment and commute patterns, connect with
communities and grassroots and gather feedback to PTOs such that
they will be aware of changes and adjust operations
accordingly.
Things will continue to change, as population rises, new towns
are developed, new forms of transport technology emerge (both
public and private), the economy restructures, SG public transport
has to continuously evolve to meet the changing demands of the
time, or become obsolete and subjected to public distrust.
Hope the best for the future. ~
