Prelude from the lead editor: Earlier this year, I announced the start of guest posting on the STC blog, where readers can also send in post submissions for publication on our website. While it hasn’t received much response for a long while, I’m pleasantly surprised by today’s piece, a long 4-part Town-by-Town series put together by passionate residents in Marine Parade, on how getting around their town has its challenges, and how it could potentially be a lot better. Because they’re really very long and image-heavy, each individual article has been linked as a PDF from this post, apologies. Looking forward to more guest postings in future! And I’m looking forward to the follow-up posts containing parts 3 and 4, to be updated here in due time. ~amc

Post series layout

1: The disaster of the lack of bus priority

In this first part, we will explain how the crippling woes inflicted by the road network design & lack of bus priority measures, severely handicap our buses in MP

Part 1.1: Bus travel time horror stories

Have you ever travelled at an average speed of ~0.725 km/h for 34 mins for 1 stop? Well I have! Click to find out more horrors beyond your bus-delay imaginations! (No I’m not trying to invoke late-Halloween)

Part 2: A Parade of Buses

Maximize connectivity! When many services, EACH, can link you to multiple destinations from a single point!

Part 3: FINALLY A MRT LINE! (Coming hopefully soon)

A review of the newly-opened TEL4, coming your way soon!

Part 4: The future of Public Transport in Marine Parade (Coming hopefully soon)

What the future of PT in MP might or should be. A few proposals to improve things on the ground too.
