With the new implement, Cab drivers will not risk to pick-up customers by the road side.
There will be changes to the bus lane scheme from 1 April 2007. The details are as follows:
Changes to the scheme:
i. Evening bus lane hours will be moved to a slightly later slot to reflect current traffic patterns which indicate that evening traffic volumes tend to peak around the 6.00pm mark
The Saturday bus lane hours will no longer apply at these locations, due to the lighter traffic volumes noted on Saturdays.
