People are peeved at the announcement of extended bus lane hours

This morning, the Land Transport Authority announced that operating times of Full-Day Bus Lanes will soon be hiked up by three hours. All 23km of them, and mostly in the city centre. The move is ostensibly to reduce commuters’ travel times in the late evenings, so there you go. It’s all for the good of the people. Just don’t be surprised when operating hours go from 7.30am to 11pm on weekdays and Saturdays, come Mar 21.

Exasperated responses have been flooding the interwebz, with most of them pointing out that a full day means, well, the entire day. So the next time your boss requires your attendance at a stuffy ‘full-day’ company event, you’d better check what that entails. Here are some comments left by netizens. 

More information on the routes available on the LTA website.
