bus peak hour suggestion

i noticed that during morning peak hours, when 3-4 buses all arrived at the same time to a bus stop, the traffic will build up terribly causing a long queue that usually took 5-10 minutes to clear. It was made worse when some of these buses (2 out of 4) were moving from bus stop on the left to 3-lanes across to the right in order to turn right in less than 50m.

another thing i observed was that sometimes there were only 1-2 passengers left on the bus. could they have gotten down earlier? or the volume was actually low?

one thing for sure, the bus was very slow in maneuvering due to its sheer size.


consider replacing some 'double-decker buses with low volume' even during peak hours to mini bus to improve traffic jam.

the passengers may also like this as the mini-bus will be able to move faster although it may increase cost for the bus company as each mini-bus with a driver will fetch a lesser number of passengers.

it is not easy to run a city!
