RESIDENTS Relate
CNA was contacted by Tampines West and North citizens to find out how much the new company was appreciated. However, some hoped for better communication to local amenities, even when the time is off peak.
One Tampines West native at The Santorini apartments claimed she had to wait 15 minutes for bus 298, but she only wanted to be identified as Madam Kua.  ,
” For such short trips, we should n’t have to wait so long”, said the 74-year-old retiree. ” We should be waiting only seven to 10 minutes” . ,
Actually after getting on the vehicle, it can take about 20 minutes to reach Tampines key, as the vehicle winds through many lands en route, she added.  ,  ,
” When I first heard of this new service, I was so happy, because I do n’t have to wait so long anymore” . ,
Ain Fong, a native of Tampines North and resident of the Tampines GreenVines HDB task, was anticipating shorter wait times and strong trips to the MRT station during high traffic hours.
The 34-year-old superintendent pointed out, however, that 298x did never attach her region to supermarkets outside.
She favors shopping at Prime Supermarket both during peak periods and when shopping at other stores.
But to get that using public transportation, she has to first get bus 298 and finally change trucks at Tampines North exchange.
According to Google Maps, the whole journey you take an hour for a retailer that is only a 2-kilometer stroll from her house.
” It’s quite ridiculous”, she said.  ,
