Smart Mobility Firm RushOwl launches On-Demand Shuttle Bus Service at East Coast Park as a car-lite option for park goers. Passengers can now share a ride to directly access East Coast Park from Bedok MRT.
From 21st August 2021 onwards, public passengers will be able to access most areas in East Coast Park (ECP) within a 10-minute journey from Bedok MRT. A total of 7 stops will cater to the ECP region on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays from 7.00 am to 9.00pm for a promotional rate of $2. More potential stops will be available in future based on the passenger’s feedback.
The on-demand bus service aims to provide a more extensive exploration option for park visitors and at the same time, presents a greener, car-lite option for families to head to East Coast Park.
Using the firm’s mobility app, RushTrail, East Coast Park visitors can easily book a ride directly to the park’s premises without having to walk long distances. Once a ride is booked, passengers can receive the live location and arrival time of the shuttle bus.

Aiya just make service 401 operate again as usual. Its so simple as that. I wonder why they have to just keep complicating things.
In that case, I propose Service 401 to be discontinued and for the On-Demand Shuttle to directly replace the bus service to save on resources.
But service 401 had already been resumed since 4th June last year (2022).
