Bus lanes should be abolished from 5pm to 8pm

[Kklim]

Question:

Can those private coaches/City express bus shuttle services use the bus lanes?

 

That will partially alleviate the peak hour congestion since it will fully utilize the bus lanes instead of having them clog the non-bus lanes. 

 

The express ones are bloody scary if you need to turn left. The buggers don't stop at bus stops so just cheong.

Glad to see many drivers here against OP's thinking and hopefully he would change his mindset.

 

Don't forget bus lanes are also used for emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire trucks. Bus lanes not just for buses, also for saving lives.

we are behind the wheel. we are in control of our ride. we can always dont filter into bus lane. we can always leave the house mimutes earlier or late. we can always plan our route.

 

if one still insist of taking away the bus lane than one should not drive. You dont even know how to make use of your ride.

 

there was a conversation. once someone was sharing he hated driving to orchard during christmas. Always jam. i asked him when than you want to drive into a jammed orchard? he said he wanted to enjoy the Christmas lightning. There you go..the answer. i gave him the sort of stare that i reserve for IMH patient. empathy look.

ownership of car does not equate to elitism mindset. It is merely a mean for commuting around.

 

Let us always be considerate to all road users (regardless public or private) at all times. an old men mindset here.ð¤

Couldn’t agree more bro

 

Well said!

I always thought all buses are private. So..

Not for complete ban but some areas do need to be removed or altered. Eg. the part outside ICA along Kallang Rd, vehicles held up traffic for the chance to turn into the carpark.

 

If the Red bus lanes are removed (let it be just yellow lines instead), vehicles turning into ICA can just wait behind buses for their turn to go into the carpark, rather than having to cut abruptly in within a very short distance allowance.

 

Above is just an example that comes to mind. I'm sure readers can contribute more scenarios.

Heh heh.. that one should just change the car entrance to the exit. Then no jam..

Be careful, normal bus lane is not applicable on Saturday but full day bus lane is.

On Sat, see yellow lane ok, red lane not ok.

 

Sun and PH, anything goes.

Red lane easier to remember.

There are thousands of bus lanes and bus-stops like that. I guess they are designed with the presumption there will be "light traffic", but when the traffic is heavy, safely turning into a car park or lane immediately after a red bus lane depends a lot on whether buses will give way. This has to be mutual, cars give way to buses, buses give way to cars or it will not work.

 

As for those who step on accelerator when seeing other vehicles signal light to turn in, their license should be kangtong.

Ya, give and take.

Bus drivers also very stressful and tiring with hours of shift work.

On one side, one MP talk about fashionable not to drive, tio kan until need to run road.

 

Here we have a thread in support of car owners asking to remove the bus lane, Tio kan until go into hiding..

 

confusing and confusion man!!!

 

The fellow must be asking himself, " this is a car forum right? what did i do wrong? why me? why???"....

I think it's because most car owners here worked hard to own their car. They don't immediately have their car once they got their driving license. As car owners who used to take buses, we all have a conscience.

Bus lane and bus lane hours stays.

 

Needs of the many are greater than the needs of the few.

Bus lanes should be abolished from 5pm to 8pm.

 

Reasons

1) It jammed up the other lanes as we are forced to drive with one fewer lane.

 

2) The bus lanes are under utilized by buses anyway. Or at least allow some other vehicles like vans carrying goods or trucks to drive on bus lanes.

 

3) Due to different work nature and conditions now, there are people who finish work at 1pm to 4pm. There are also many people who ends work late: 8pm to midnight so bus lanes from 5pm to 8pm is kind of redundant now.

 

Car-lite.

Seoul has a golf driving range above a car park.

 

Golfers love it. They can always find a place to park

 

and don't have to carry their clubs very far.
