Tanah Merah to Expo leh? Must expect the general public who don’t know a thing about buses to either take the long way transfer via DTL3, or take buses 12 / 24 / 35 / 38 / 47 and then brave the unsheltered path all the way to the atrium? Or even direct them to Simei to board bus 20? Ridiculous oversight.
If shuttle 8 goes from changi airport to expo how will passenger go tanah merah to change to shuttle 7.do they need to take the downtown line to tampines or what.
