Not just in Orchard area. Chinatown also. Better still, all bus lanes in the CBD should be involved in this trial.Originally posted by sbst275:For 6 mths starting from Oct... If it goes successful, entire island bus lane will progressively go into full day op as well -
At the start in 1974, they should have made it full day...Originally posted by iveco:Not just in Orchard area. Chinatown also. Better still, all bus lanes in the CBD should be involved in this trial.

siao ah!!!!! ppl pay so much for private transport and have to tahan full day bus lane and more traffic jam!!Originally posted by sbst275:For 6 mths starting from Oct... If it goes successful, entire island bus lane will progressively go into full day op as well
seriously, somerset road stretch, from park mall up to ngee ann has famous bus jams during saturdays. even cars also siam from the bus lane.
Orchard road also has jams, but at the part at meridian, cars turning into CTE always cause chaos with departing buses!
maybe the idea should be restricted to roads with high volumes of buses like orchard road, but NOT residential areas, like near bus interchanges -
that's the only way to encourage people to use public transport in the city.
In London, their ERP equilvalent charges 8.00 pounds (thats S$22).
In Sydnet, CDB parking is A$4.00 an hour.
It will be so much better if the traffic on Orchard Rd becomes less heavy. The human walkways are getting too crowded. -
Yah... But in recent yrs, there are getting more and more cars using the bus lane during peak hrs... On the reason that the main lanes are congested...Originally posted by 105090:siao ah!!!!! ppl pay so much for private transport and have to tahan full day bus lane and more traffic jam!!
