Many who have given feedback have suggested keeping bus bays and making it mandatory for motorists to give way to buses exiting bus bays.

We agree that this is a possible solution for situations where bus bays are still feasible. So far, LTA has been working with the public transport operators over the last three years to encourage motorists to do this without mandating it as a rule.

My discontentment arises from their attempt to glorify an afterthought (a-step-back) solution for the sake of publicity stunt, without clear explanation on the rationale to embark on those projects. As expected, news editors’ desks rain cats and dogs with letters of comments from public, and LTA responsed with a letter which was published in TODAY (attached below).

The response confirmed my initial suspicions that Jalan Eunos will be widened due to increased traffic volume, and bus bays are removed due to lack of road space. Both facts were missing from news release.

Ironically, LTA’s response states that it is important that the issue of linear bus stop be put in perspective, which the same could be said of their news release.

Pilot project in Jalan Eunos will allow LTA to study the impact of linear bus stops

Letter from NALEEZA EBRAHIM Deputy Director, Media Relations Land Transport Authority

I refer to the recent letters on bus bays versus linear bus stops. It is important to put this issue in perspective.

Most major cities such as Tokyo, London and Hong Kong, do not have bus bays (also called bus lay-bys) along main roads because they take up considerable space.

Similarly, in Singapore, only one third of the bus stops have bus bays as providing them requires additional land that is not always available. Bus bays are usually put in when there is enough road reserve.

With increasing vehicle usage, the trade off between widening roads and retaining bus bays will have to be studied in land-scarce Singapore. The pilot project in Jalan Eunos seeks to do this.

LTA is widening the road at Jalan Eunos because traffic growth there has led to increased congestion. In doing so, the existing bus bays will have to be removed. This presents LTA with the opportunity to conduct a one-year trial to study the impact of linear bus stops — and weigh the improvement in bus travel speed against the impact on other traffic.

In this case, by adding a lane to each side of the road, all road users will be better off. Putting in linear bus stops will improve the journey times for buses along this stretch of road and will ensure that buses share in the gains from this project.

Conventional Search Engine Optimization Fictions That Internet Marketers Should Elude
Information is power. It delivers people from the pits of ignorance. It makes people question the way things are. It makes people realize that they do not have to be robots in the games of the powerful; it allows them to make decisions that shape their futures. It is also the same thing that compels people to log into the Internet.No wonder why many people buy personal computers nowadays. No wond

5 Ways To Raise Credit Score
It's not as hard as you think to raise credit score. It's a well known fact that lenders will give people with higher credit scores lower interest rates on mortgages, car loans and credit cards. If your credit score falls under 620 just getting loans and credit cards with reasonable terms is difficult.There are more than 30 million people in the United States that have credit scores under 620 and

Free Life Insurance Leads
Generating authentic life insurance leads requires a lot of strategic planning, research and involves a lot of sweat. Therefore, it is human nature to assume that free leads are bogus, or that vendors or companies offering them have an intrinsic motive. In the commercial world things are never given freely, and there is always an actual or expected return in exchange for anything free. In case of free

We have placed "Give-way-to-buses-exiting" traffic signs at some bus stops with bus bays, and collaborated with the Traffic Police to include the message "Give way to buses exiting" in the Road Courtesy Campaign.

LTA is reviewing the progress of this programme to determine if more needs to be done, taking into account public feedback.
