SBS Transit reiterate that it is not viable to open Oasis Station
Station generate far revenue of less than 10% of costs required |
On 6 April, Punggol.org reported that Edgedale
Green residents have been emailing to SBS Transit to enquire abou the
opening of Oasis Station. Now, it seems the residents need to wait alittle
longer after a reply by SBS Transit.
In a reply to Edgedale Green resident, Rickho,
SBS Transit's Sumini Giman said that a survey was conducted in early January
this year to estimate the demand for public transport during the morning
peak period.
Their observations showed that the number
of potential commuters will generate fare revenue of less than 10% of
the costs required to open Oasis station for public use.
SBS Transit reinterate that it is not viable
for them to open the station now to serve only a small number of ridership
however, they will continue to monitor the situation closely and open
the station when more residents move in to stay and take public transport. |
