Hub and spoke for public transport system

We should introduce a hub and spoke system to improve the public transport in Singapore. I wrote this article, which was printed in the Straits Times a few months ago.

  1. Personally, I would find it a hassle to take two feeder buses every (working) day. It gets on your nerves.

    I would choose to, (a) live near a hub (within 15-20 minutes of walking distance), (b) work near a hub, (c) both.

  2. I find it acceptable to take a feeder service, if the waiting time is short and there is a short walk.

    Changing trains at MRT is quite convenient. We need to make the feeder service just as convenient.

  4. At a large bus interchange, there are many stops for different bus services. The commuter has to walk a long distance to reach the right stop.

    I hope that the feeder bus service will stop at each of the interchange stop, so that the walk will be shorter.
