  Disagree.

  If someone suggested to smrtb to add the stops, and since the both the services already pass the stop for now, why not do it? It dosent take much effort to paste the service number onto the bus stop pole.

  When they finally realign the road back a few years later, then they can jolly well remove the services from the stop since its now out of the way. Pretty reasonable to me.

  If i was smrtb i would do the same, at least reduce some bad reputation points they collected over the years. Leaving it alone and wait for the ppl to blow the issue up by going to the press? Why do that when the solution is simple...

  actually to stop or not to stop, LTA has sort of say in it.

  But this bus stop I've noticed, they've better proceed. Else it's going to create bus hold up during peak hrs.

  the stop after hillview road along upp bt timah rd... that one's more important.

  and the mindef one sounds surprisingly similar to sv70's case at paya lebar, and the old airport road services... were they lambasted then?

  Maybe I'll put it this way, unless it's for long i.e. 5 yrs then we do it.

  If it's only for 1 - 2 yr, there's no pt.

  the MRT trains also keep promoting 950 non stop..
  
  so irritating... esp when 950 frequency and crowds are horrendous.. 
  
  promote a service which cant even handle basic loads..

  old airport rd: 2 years 6 months

  if you want to go by this logic, then nicoll highway services shouldnt even call at the diverted bus stops along the way after the collapse. 6 months only what.

  陆路交通管�局接下�准备显著增加巴士�务的客��，其中包括探讨推出更多与地��务平行的巴士路线，舒缓客��较拥挤的地�线。

  　　这些“平行巴士”路线的ç»�è�¥æ‰§ç…§ä¸ºæœŸå�ªæœ‰ä¸€å¹´ï¼Œæ¯”普通巴士的两年执照期é™�æ�¥å¾—短，这是为了让业者在è¿�作上享有更大伸缩性，å�¯æ ¹æ�®ä¹˜å®¢é‡�决定是å�¦è¦�更新执照。

  　　交通部长�德耀早�说，在地�网络还未建设完善之�，将显著�高巴士客��。陆交局�询时表示增加与地��务平行的巴士确是探讨方案之一。此外，它�业者对巴士�务定期进行的季度检讨也�助增加巴士�务趟次，缩短乘客等车时间。

  　　在上世纪90年代�，地�刚开始通车的头几年，当局为了��地�和巴士�务��，���消或调整了约140�巴士路线。

  　　自2008年陆路交通�展总�图出炉�，为使公共交通工具更具�引力，陆交局开始推出与�北地�线平行的巴士�务�分担地�乘客�。

  　　此举也是�在地�网络短期内基于基础设施或系统局��还无法明显扩大之�，为沿线乘客�供地�以外的�一个选择。

  　　�是计划实行三年�，至今�有两�这样的路线，一�是新����的128�巴士，�一�则是SMRT�业的868�快�巴士。

  　　这两�巴士�务路线都是在平日�忙时段�行，方便在市区工作的上��。两家巴士公��询时以商业�由，�愿�露乘客�。

  　　新���业�络高级副总�陈爱玲�承，自2008年7月推出的128�巴士路线的乘客�到现在还是很低，公�会继续观察需求。

  该巴士在å·�è¡Œå�Šå¹´å�Žæ”¹ç”¨“å¿«æ�·”路线，从å®�茂桥和碧山å�–é�“诺维娜和纽顿到市区，ä¸�å†�在æŸ�些车站å�œé� ã€‚尽管缩短了车程，但æ�®çŸ¥ä¹˜å®¢é‡�还是未有多大改善。

  　　SMRT的868�快�巴士则是衔接武�巴�和中央商业区，途�裕廊东和��路（Toh Guan Road），然�从亚逸拉惹高速公路(AYE)直通市中心。

  　　这项�务是在去年9月底推出，平日早上��行两趟（7时30分和7时45分），由于是快��务，车资介于1.31元和2.35元（以易通�付费）。

  　　记者昨天�乘了第一趟车，�现乘客�总共约有50多人，全是上��，大部分人都有座�，需站立的乘客少过10个。

  　　虽然公路上的车辆相当多，但巴士一路行驶还算顺畅，约50分钟便到达市中心的终站，几乎所有人都是在市区下车。

  　　两个月�开始�弃地�，改�巴士上�的陈欣惠（22�，银行�员）说，虽然巴士车程大概�一�时，�地��需45分钟，但�巴士比较舒�，�次上车立刻就能找到座�。

  　　她ä½�在武å�‰å·´ç�£è¥¿5é�“，868å�·å·´å£«è½¦ç«™å°±åœ¨ä½�家对é�¢ã€‚她说：“虽然æ¯�趟车费比æ�­åœ°é“�贵五角钱，但舒æœ�多了，无需挤车，还å�¯ä»¥åœ¨å·´å£«ä¸Šäº‰å�–ç�¡çœ ã€‚”

  　　�在��路附近的朱培�（25�，行销员）之�试过�地�，也试过乘�其他巴士到新达城一带上�，但他认为868�巴士还是最方便快�。

  　　他说：“我上车时通常已找ä¸�到座ä½�，但巴士ä¸�是很拥挤，如果è¦�æ�­åœ°é“�还得走10分钟æ‰�到地é“�站，而且列车é�žå¸¸æ‹¥æŒ¤ï¼Œå¾€å¾€å¾—等第二趟车æ‰�挤得上。”

  　　陆交局表示将继续�业者紧密�作，设法加强与地��务平行的巴士路线的�引力。

  交通学者普�认为，�加强平行巴士的�引力，关键在于让巴士在路上享有更大优先行驶�，例如把更多路段划为巴士�。

  　　�光耀公共政策学院助�教授巴特�士指出，�使是拥挤�堪的地�，相对�说也会比�行�频密�行驶缓慢的巴士�务�得�引人，因为列车比较快�，�务也较频密。

  　　他说：“如果巴士å�œç«™çš„次数ä¸�多，æ¯�五分钟æ�¥ä¸€è¶Ÿï¼Œå�¯èƒ½å°±ä¼šè¢«è§†ä¸ºå�¯æ›¿ä»£åœ°é“�。”
