The article that we have chosen is " App to tell commuters if bus is packed ", published on 16 April 2015. The article mentioned that the Land Transport Authority (LTA)'s MyTransport.SG mobile app has a newly released function that will allow the commuters to know in advance whether the bus they are waiting for will have seats available or if it is crowded with passengers. The authority has also been working with operators to install and test a new centralised system
to capture in real-time where buses are.
Personal Response:
I feel that this function is very useful as it will help the commuters decide whether to board the arriving bus or wait for the following one. Also, the new centralised system would be very useful as since it captures in real-time where buses are, it means that it will provide more accurate information of the bus arrival times. This helps the commuters plan what time they should leave the place to catch the bus in time, and they would not have to spend a long time waiting for the bus at the bus stop. In conclusion, the newly released functions of the app are very useful and beneficial towards the commuters.
