I took a bus from Midview City to Ang Mo Kio MRT. It was a bad connection. The bus stop was 7 mins away from the MRT station. It was a long walk. On my return, I walked from Bishan MRT station to the bus stop to take the bus to Midview City. It was another 5 minutes.
No wonder, people pay the moon to get a car. Our connection between the bus to the MRT station is quite bad, judging from the long distance in both examples above.
We have an unsatisfactory system where the bus services have poor connection to the MRT system. It is better to have small buses running a local service to bring commuters right to the MRT station. This is probably the system in Hong Kong.
It is time for our Land Transport Authority to pay attention to this important matter. There is no point to spend some time time and cost in changing to a distance based fare, when the basic system has a lot of flaws.
