I understand 258 is supposed to relieve loading off 243G and
181, but... at least put 258 in the same berth as 243G mah... :(
anyway, 258 loading is quite encouraging...
but, really, 258 only has six buses, whereas 49 at lakeside has
so many buses and the frequency is better. so unfair. :(
why LTA did not deploy a mixture of bus models on 258, like some
dd some sd.. then the frequency can be slightly better.
... but at least put 258 next to 243G at Boon Lay Bus
Interchange leh....
Meanwhile, feeder bus 242 also experiencing long queues. it
would be good if we can re-route 258 to help 242 with the loading
going to/fro Jurong West Street 72.
generally, I am glad that LTA at least introduced 258, but I am
disappointed that LTA did not maximise the potential of 258 in
improving and enhancing the bus connections in Jurong West. If I
were to rate 258, out of ten points I would only give around five
or six. There are at least two rooms for improvement.
first room for improvement: enhance frequency.
second room for improvement: re-route to serve street 72, to
help relieve 242 high loading.
Yes, agree that 258 could be done much better with a beefed up
frequency with the link to Pioneer MRT. By the way, Mr. Jurong
resident, what's the rationale in creating so many duplicate
accounts lol when it's inherently obvious that it's you lol
