Public transport
'Bus schedules need to be improved.'
MADAM WONG KIT MAY: 'I refer to the report, 'More cars, so public transport trips down' (Oct 27). Bus schedules need to be improved. Often, one has to wait a long time for a bus and then have two or even three buses with the same number arrive at the same time. On Oct 24, I was waiting for feeder service 292 at Tampines Street 11 for 35 to 40 minutes and none arrived. As I was late, I had to take a taxi and pay a peak-hour surcharge. On Oct 27, I was at the bus stop outside Eunos MRT station at 7.40am waiting for bus service 13. It did not arrive until after 8am and was very crowded. When I alighted at my destination four stops later, there was another service 13 right behind. I had to wait more than 20 minutes for a journey that took only five minutes. This is not acceptable.'
