Trying to understand why route cancellations are taken so badly. This is more of a personal reflection and an attempt to understand the current system, but to me, one possible reason that bus route terminations are taken so badly is because we don’t place enough importance on the other factors…

At least three new bus interchanges are likely to open in the next 12 months. What does this mean? These new interchanges are mainly designed to serve new developments. …

Some old maps show an extension of the NEL from Punggol towards Seletar. Did it actually exist? I’ve tried to put together as much information as I can find in the public domain (or, at least, that one can pay money for). But the issue around this is that different…

For special events, it might be worth it to have exploratory service increases. Night buses probably won’t be missed, but things change when there are special events.

I don’t think we really talk much about goods transport here. Let’s change that. A few years ago JTC were looking into building some kind of “underground goods mover system”. This would mainly be a system to transport goods from the future Tuas Port to Tanjong Kling, Jurong West, and…
