Re: Alternate Travel Option Wording

• NS11: 962 Remarks: You can take the NSLFBB due to the long walking distance to Blk 680.

>> The walking distance may be on par with Opp Admiralty Stn bus stop as one need to turn left twice to Admiralty Stn bus stop, turn left again and walk down, cross the overhead bridge and further walk to Opp Admiralty Stn, whereas the walking path to Blk 680 bus stop is straightforward & direct (turn right and walk to road, turn left again to bus stop).

• NS12: 962->117/M 883/M Remarks: You can take the NSLFBB due to the long travelling journey to the station.

>> What do you mean long travelling time? Alternatively how about 965->Darul Mosque->Overhead bridge->169/117/883 to Canberra, will it be faster?

RE: Station Layout Map

Hi,

I had done the Woodlands Layout too for you to see the transfer station. The layout map is indeed inspired by the elevator diagrams, but some of it is 2D which is abit confusing (hint: Outram Park) and some 3D which is hard to replicate. So I took another inspiration at Changi Airport online map.

So if you stack all the images together into different layer, you will notice that all escalator/lift/stairs icons aligned perfectly with one another to denote the same escalator/lift/stairs. I also take into consideration for simplicity, so I keep all of its as straight line (horizontal or vertical) which is why it looks slightly odd, but still functional as a schematic guide.

With regards to walking speed, I understand LTA uses a much smaller radius 10mins = 500m. This is because it hard to estimate and draw the circle if we are going to do the actual walkable path. So most of the time, the path taken will not be direct path to the circle, but rather twist and turn which make the circle smaller on the locality map.

The 1 mins = 80m gauge will work out to be approximately walking speed of 4.8km/h. According to some health trackers app statistics, Singaporeans walking speed turns out to be an average of 6km/h. So I believe that the 4.8km/h would sufficient to gauge all users. If we use the LTA calculation as bare value, then the walking speed will be 3km/h (10 mins = 500m).

I hope this answer your question about the walking time needed estimation, but of course, if you feel that 4.8km/h is too fast, feel free to adjust the speed accordingly.

Thanks and Regards
