Public Transport Guide

The Public Transport Guide is sold in Popular Bookstores for $6.42. I wish to share this story on its usefulness.

I have to attend a 1 day event at Ulu Pandan CC today. I have the choice to drive there as I live quite far away. This means paying parking charges for 1 day.

I decided to try MRT but was not sure about how to get there. I looked at the Public Transport Guide and select page 6 (Queenstown). I guessed that the nearest MRT station was Buona Vista. Indeed it was. From there, the guide indicated that I could take bus 92 to my destination.

I found that the distance from the station to the destination. was quite short, so I have the option to walk the last leg.

The advantages of this Public Transport Guide are:

a) It also acts as a street directory
b) It is easy to locate he bus service
c) It is light and can be easily carried

I have suggested to LTA to display a map in each MRT station and bus stop showing the street directory and bus stops within 3 km. I hope that they will take my suggestion. It will be convenient for commuters who do not have the street directory with them.

Some people are not familiar with using a street directory. They can ask for advise from another person at the station or bus stop.
