Maths? I've forgotten how to do most C-Maths stuff.
And yes I read your PM, 275. They're building the bus stops right now. On such narrow roads with solid dividers, let's hope the buses don't get stuck due to breakdowns or on-board incidents.

well you need to take a look at e clusterfark at BNL every morning.But too many MRT stations.
I would always tell ppl simple econs.. but reverse for tis time round.. Peak hr nvm, wat abt off peak?
Tat also explains why many still dun realise e benefits of 2x ADDs

game theory?

Maths and maths and nothing but maths.
Bcos graph on paper can only go up to 3 axes, and we have more variables than that.
So mathematical statements and some day-dreaming will hopefully get us somewhere.

but that clusterfark clears quickly if they bother increasing frequency for some svcs. -

They tested w/ e Scania riaoYou'll be surprised how versatile these Scania are..
I remembered venturing into NTU during YOG. Those NTU shuttle buses though shorter could not even do a proper U turn compared to SBS's 12m Scania near e admin bldg.

parking space clusterfarkit's screwed.
but I guess, so far SBS is trying their best le. tat's why 243 downroutes & 241A.
-
Ya.
It nv fails to amaze me how this new 12m huge ass bus can make that U-turn at NUS.
-
NUS is super lucky.. shuttle bus can get low floor Scania buses
good, faster turnaround time at bus stops
-
but if anything occurs on e divider yeah, tat's it
they should remove it for e benefit of Sv 410.

Can't find it, but found this other one instead, "Social Economics: Market Behavior in a Social Environment".
And yeah, we keep coming up with new extensions of existing fields. Like for instance, in medicine, there's a relatively new field called "Neuroplasticity" and I read in a science mag recently that there's a new concept called "epigenes".
Neuroplasticity claims that the brain can regenerate and adapt itself post-injury / cerebral ischemia because it used to be thought that once your brain cells die, they are irreplaceable.
Epigenes introduces the belief that human offspring inherit traits and learned behaviour and attitudes from their parents, ie. whatever the parents experience and their resultant response to it, is passed on to their offspring via the genes. So at birth, their kids inherit and exhibit similar traits and behaviour to new stimulus. This field kinda crosses into evolution. Very interesting...
Very interesting...

e last part has some truth
but I guess wat happens later on as they grow up is well dependent on their gen's env.

This sem I'm also taking sociology of $$$$.
Hopefully, it'll be a more humane approach to what I'm doing.

Doesn't epigenes explain why toddlers adapt so quickly to computers and such, compared to kids a few generations ago?
And isn't it common to hear comments like kids these days are getting smarter?
And also, why certain toddlers cry when they see clowns / Santa whilst others become gleeful?
So yeah... I'm very keen to follow what else this new field uncovers.

Can Money, being the root of all evil, morph into something humane?

They're extending e East West MRT Line to Tuas. Construction for a MRT line from Bt Panjang to Marina Bay/ Chinatown is underway.

sbs, everytime I return home, I get completely lost. I avoid the MRT whenever possible, and try to take familiar buses nia, or else I get chauffeured around by family, friends, and professional drivers.
I was so disorientated the last time I took the MRT, I was so thankful I made the trip with av!

Just dont get one of those MIC ones.I had one.
It leaked oil and best of all, some fucktard painted over the latches ensuring that that the grille could never be removed.
Needless to say, it got chucked out of my house in a couple of weeks.

Sure will get smarter... but there's also a danger of my shortcomings becoming magnified and therefore, my form of responsible exorcism is to rule out reproduction and replication!
