Ministry of Transport Restructure the bus service

I have now modified my proposal for an express bus system that connects 10 regions. Each region will have 2 interchanges.

If a bus travels from region A to region B, it will stop at 4 interchanges.

With 10 regions, we need 45 express services. We do not need 330 bus services.

From the interchanges, there will be feeder buses to the nearby areas.

For example, Toa Payoh and Bishan can be considered as one region. Similar Serangoon and Hougang can be considered as 1 region. Ang Mo Kio is big enough to be a separate region on its own, so it have two interchanges.

Most people can take a local bus to an interchange and take an express bus to another interchange and a local bus to the final destination.

Under the new system, the interchange will have only 9 express services to the other regions and perhaps 4 local services. It will be more manageable than the current system.

The interchanges are also connected to the MRT station. They can transfer to the MRT station also.
