Jarhad's Junk Site

I read STOMP quite often, just to have a good laugh at some of the stupidity that people exhibit when they are ranting.  However, there are some very legitimate concerns that are surfaced there that seem to get authorities' attention and action much swifter than if the feedback had been sent to them directly, so one can understand what a powerful media channel it is.

Today, let's look at: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=63477

"A STOMPer was at the newly-opened Pioneer MRT bus stop trying to take a bus back to NTU after running an errand but was not able to board two buses because they were so crowded."

I would guess this is someone who primarily stays in hall, probably a foreign student, and doesn't know about the 179 situation out there.  Pioneer MRT is very convenient to drop off at if taking MRT home, but if you're headed to NTU, all seasoned NTU students would know that you should board 179 from Boon Lay Interchange to ensure you are able to get on - during the morning peak there's also 179A which goes direct to NTU, bypassing all the bus stops in between.

Anyway my point is, this person's suggestion to have yet another bus service along this route won't solve the problem.  So just follow the crowd la, you won't go wrong! :p
