A suggestion came true?
-
Hey there everyone
Personally, I feel that some things are really beyond our control, so just take things easy, th1988 We're supposed to discuss about bus suggestions here, not complaining non-stop, otherwise it would be out of topic 
Well, there was once when I suggested having a Nightrider bus service ply through my area and it was submitted to Tibs... Of course as usual, it didnt came true -
iamgoondu and also those concerned:
This is the feedback from SBS Transit CRC concerning the introduction of a bus service between Kent Ridge, NUS and Dover station.
I have replied explaining that they can make use of Dover station for such higher loading and unloading needs as there are split dividers at the pair of bus stops outside Dover station (not just one, but both bus stops have it) so the buses from current services calling there can depart first without their operation being disrupted and cited the case of Sentosa Service C buses using split divider bus stop at Tiong Bahru MRT where the Sentosa buses park in the front part of the bus bay and other omnibuses can depart from behind with the split divider..

To Whom It May Concern
Dear Sir or Madam
We refer to your feedback we received on 26 January.
2 As per investigation by the planners, the stop along Dover Station
does not have adequate facilities for effective bus operations. With a
service calling at Dover, some passengers would be expected to shift from
Clementi and as a result, queues would be formed during the peak periods,
this in turn would be potentially disruptive to the traffic flow as the
stop serves Singapore Polytechnic as well as passengers transferring
to/from the MRT from/to other bus services.
3 Due to the above constraint, we regret that we are unable to adhere
to your suggestion. Nevertheless, we have kept your suggestion for our
future planning.
4 Thank you for your feedback.
Regards
Yours sincerely

I have also asked them to look into converting the underutilised taxi stands into an extension of the bus stop as a means of providing space for large volume of passenger boarding and alighting facilities..
Now let's wait for their reply.. -
tamago, you received your reply so fast. I sent SBST a feedback 2 weeks ago and I have yet to receive the reply.

I have sent my suggestion of Service 20 Pasir Ris - Kent Ridge 2 days ago. I have yet to receive a reply.
My suggestion of Service 20 is available at http://buses.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=67711 -

Thought the bus stops in Dover are better equipped than those at Clementi stations. Moreover the bus stops in Dover are never packed or busy.
SBST did not deny the fact that Dover station is closer and more direct to Kent Ridge than Clementi. Perhaps someone can evaluate if commuters pay lesser fares to Engineering faculty from Dover than from Clementi. If SBST stands to lose in revenues collection.
Perhaps NUS students council is in a better position to fight for NUS students population, a more direct bus and bus transfers which may results a substantiate savings over a 3 years period.
Tamaco,
Did you request for bus extensions, amendments or a new bus route? -
I will opt for version 1 or 3. It shall resolve the following:Originally posted by service_238:I have sent my suggestion of Service 20 Pasir Ris - Kent Ridge 2 days ago. I have yet to receive a reply.

a. a link between HV and Dunearn Rd. I had ever put up request for that.
b. a link between Dover MRT and Kent Ridge terminal. Again I would like to have that linkage.
c. I wouldn't be detered to work for SSMC or UMCi or AFPD.
d. Perhaps....... Dunearn Road/Bukit Timah, Sixth Ave, Holland Road, North Buona Vista Road (BV MRT), AYE (NUH), AYE(NUS), Kent Ridge Terminal. -
Need your opinions,Do you feel that svs 11 need to be amended?Honestly i think it is wasted by just looping @ national std which almost every time i notice there are just 2 to 5 pax boarding this bus.I even go on 'trial' boarding this service for a week between morning,evening and even nights still i hardly seen more pax board this svs even on peak hours.I intend to send a suggestion to SBST for amending this service which i think i would get the 'usual' replies.
Any other routes suggestions you have in mind?How about plying to east coast park service rd,Do you'll think it is a good idea?Anyway,I also can't be bothered if the suggestions is unsucessful. -
If Svc11 is to be extended to East Coast Park, it would duplicate Svc 401. The motive of svc 11 is to link the National Stadium area with the nearest MRTOriginally posted by carbikebus:Any other routes suggestions you have in mind?How about plying to east coast park service rd,Do you'll think it is a good idea?Anyway,I also can't be bothered if the suggestions is unsucessful.

That's true. When CCL is completed pax can transfer at Dhoby Ghaut station.Originally posted by service_238:If Svc11 is to be extended to East Coast Park, it would duplicate Svc 401.

Ok,Noted.Those SBST crc replied to me today saying that svs 11 have low demands and extending it to ECPS rd will make it more worse.Originally posted by SBS9818A:That's true. When CCL is completed pax can transfer at Dhoby Ghaut station. -

Dear Mr XXX
BUS SERVICES
We refer to your feedback dated 26 Jan 04.
The Manager has reviewed your feedback and reverted his findings to us.
Long buses - Our present fleet of Superbuses are sufficient to cope with the demand and we are also replacing old buses with newer and spacious buses as and when available. As such, there is no necessity for deployment of long buses.
Service 11 - Due to low demand for services to East Coast Park on weekdays, we regret that we are unable to accede to your request. Although Service 401 is serving the East Coast Park during the weekends, however, our survey has shown that demand is also weak.
Service 400 - In rerouteing or extending a service, demand for such is taken into account. For residents in Eunos, it will be most convenienct to take the MRT to Marina Bay.
Thank you for feedback.
Yours sincerely

actually the majority of the students are on concession passes so it won't help much.. for those paying adult fares, the route to Dover only saves one bus stop's fare (0.5 stages) so it does not affect much in revenue.. and boarding at any bus stop along Kent Ridge Crescent still costs 63 cents to go to Clementi MRT bus stop or Dover MRT..Originally posted by iamgoondu:Thanks for putting up the suggestion to SBST.

It's only like that which they can get their buses worth.
