Could you provide the bus image and the relevant bus stops number and the directions to make users have the clearer path to go. Many of citizens are working in CBD in weekend as well.
wonder why they can’t do this concurrently with the TEL ECLO. maybe this is a sign that the TEL5 will open before the DTL3e does
if they do it concurrently, there will be so much more complains coming in from people. with one line doing so, there are so much noises coming from entitled citizens already
Not under the same operator as well, may I add
Would be a clusterfuck to manage any sort of coordination and logistics between two different operators
