Re: Orchard Road Caution

Thanks for the warning.

I got caught in December last year for entering Lucky Plaza carpark. I got summoned for a good 130$ at around 2:30pm and i sent in my appeal because i too, saw that guy standing there and smiling when i turned in. It doesn't make sense because i HAD to turn left into the carpark.

There is current NO bus lane hours on the WHOLE of Orchard road because of a FULL DAY bus lane ruling they implemented in October.

A new addition to Singapore's roads is a red lane marking along Orchard Road. It indicates a full day bus lane that runs along the stretch of Orchard Road from Paterson Road to Dhoby Ghaut.

This lane is expected to significantly improve journey times for bus users and is in operation from 7.30am to 8.00pm, Mondays to Saturdays, excluding public holidays.

Motorists should keep clear of the full-day bus lane during its operational hours. Offenders will face a fine of $130.

The Land Transport Authority has introduced the full day lane as a pilot scheme which will be re-assessed in March. If it is found to improve bus travel times, it may consider introducing such full day bus lanes at other busy locations.


Humbug.
