Some premiums should be converted to express services, maybe running at 30 mins frequency...

wonder why they withdrew express services such as 507 is thats the case....
Originally posted by off_service:I think is due to few reasons... One is that bus companies are waiting for LTA Central Planning to take effect. Also, I don't think both bus companies have to capacity to do so with the QoS now in placed.
So many premiums are introduced partly because the routes require mostly 1 or 2 buses each only, imo.
Same sentiments. I guess the two operators didnt want to operate the routes for fear they would have to bid the routes back after central planning by LTA.

I guess they wanted commuters to use 97e.
Probably demand isnt high during off peak hours.
For Toh Guan, Jurong West residents, push them to 502 and transfer to a trunk service at Orchard Road.
Anyway, I feel that 502's frequency should be improved. If not, deploy double deckers on all existing fleets. That would be better.
If not probably introduce 507 back and extend it to Joo Koon area.

well I believe it's supply issue ba. Another thing, likely I'm more in for semi express routes (possibly converting some heavy loading trunk svs w/ stable loading pt)
