That was a bad amendment, by shortening 22 to Eunos to replace the sector of 61 from Ubi to Eunos, & maybe replace the sector of 24 from Ang Mo Kio to Upper Paya Lebar, LTA may have been unaware it caused even further ridership issues for 22, other than 22 have declining ridership because of Downtown Line 3, Circle Line Stages 2 & 3. Furthermore, there are a lot of bus services from Ang Mo Kio to Eunos MRT & Bus Interchange such as 13, 24, 25, 55 & 76. Anything to reply?
Service 22 should extend server from boundary Road to lor Chuan, Serangoon gardens way
, yio chu kang rd, Serangoon Central, Upp Serangoon Rd, Upper Paya Lebar Rd, Paya Lebar Rd, ubi avenue 3 ,ubi Road 3 ubi avenue 2, eunos link Jalan eunos, to eunos interchange
Ive ever saw on bus 22 that there are no passengers from Eunos Interchange to somewhere near Ubi bus stop along Eunos Link. I dont think this is a profitable service after the amendment because there are more duplicating routes between these areas.
I know because of too many bus services from Ang Mo Kio to Eunos Interchange that are: 13, 24, 25, 55 & 76. Correct?
Then, what do you suggest to do to maximize or possibly withdraw 22?
22 routing still can remain, besides Ubi and Tampines DTL stations, other areas it serve (eg. Bedok Reservoir Rd, Tampines Ave 4 – quite a distance to Tampines West MRT from the nearest bus stop Service 22 serves) are a walking distance from the nearest Downtown Line MRT stations, and is the most direct connection between Bedok Reservoir Road and Tai Seng.
Hope either Seletar or Serangoon-Eunos intake the service
A lot of commuters will usually take the DTL to Mattar, and change to service 135; Serangoon, also can take DTL and CCL to Serangoon and change to service 22. Obviously no passengers take the bus from Serangoon to Tampines as people are used to taking a faster ride.
Service 22 has been declining since August 2018. And of course, residents can use WhatsApp video calls instead to talk to other persons on the phone with limited scale of gatherings.
