This mobile app tells the commuter to get up service 162 and to alight after 20 stops.
Our transport minister expects the commuter to keep counting the stops. A better way is for each bus to show the sequential stop number.
When boarding the bus, the commuter can take note of the number, say stop 15 and add the number of stops to get the stop to alight, say stop 35.
If the commuter is not familiar with the destination, the stop 35 will tell him (or her) where to get off the bus.
Alternatively, the commuter can check a guide to know that Thomson Plaza is stop 35 (say). Even if he is not familiar with the destination, he will know when to get down.
Before reaching the destination, he knows how many more stops. If he passes the destination, he will know that he has overshot, as the stop number will be greater than 35.
Will our transport minister instruct his Land Transport Authority to get the buses to show the sequential stop number? It will be very useful for commuter.
