Expensive technology that did not work

The bus stop outside SMU showed the expected time of arrival of each bus service. It showed my bus to be arriving in 7 minutes. It actually arrived after 1 minute. The expensive technology, using GPS and transmitting to the bus stop, was out by 6 minutes.

Bus or MRT

I took a bus from SMU to my home. It is a direct bus. I was able to get a seat. The journey took 30 minutes. The alternative is to take the MRT and change to a bus, which will take the same time and require more walking.
Many people take the MRT out of habit, but if they learn how to take a bus, it can be more convenient.
