"This is the worst interchange in Singapore!"
Just look at the long queues which are formed at this bus interchange in Yio Chu Kang.
And STOMPer Snow Beauty is frustrated with the lack of a proper shelter there, as well as the long waiting times.
In an e-mail dated 23 July, Snow Beauty says:
"The government has encouraged Singaporeans to take public transport, but if transport operators are not going to improve it services, it is difficult to convince Singaporeans to switch public transport.
"Can the authorities do something to improve Yio Chu Kang MRT Station? I guess this is the worst Bus Interchange in Singapore I have ever seen.
"There is no proper shelter for those who are waiting for the bus. The only shelter for the bus stops are under the MRT railway".
She says that commuters have to experience long waiting times in these crowded and unsheltered queues under all sorts of weather.
This not only inconveniences those waiting to board buses, it is also a hassle to train commuters because the queues often extend into the MRT station as well.
"When it rains, the place is really wet and slippery. It not only inconveniences commuters but also those who work nearby the Industrial Park.
"The queue can stretch from the waiting point to the end of the MRT station.
"Each time it rains, the walkway is always blocked by people who are waiting in line for bus number 72.
"I hope the authorities can do something to improve the area".
STOMP is contacting LTA for a statement.
