A few days ago Tym left a comment clueing me in on GoThere.sg, and like her and her friend Lucian, I think I have found the replacement for streetdirectory.com and every other online bus/train route planner our fine transport companies are struggling to put up.
GoThere.sg simply rocks! I’ve been using it for a few days to plan my (driving) routes, and the bus and train information it comes up with in a jiffy makes me want to take buses and trains for when I don’t really need to use the car.
Plus, after I blogged about Angus Steak House, I tacked the restaurant’s information on their map, and a couple of hours later, Jeremy Soh from GoThere.sg emailed to thank me for contributing to what they must have planned to be a treasure trove of user-contributed information.
As for what the site can do to improve, I threw a spanner in the works and tried to plan a route from Orchard Road to KLCC in KL. It returned a tentative “Drive” instruction, with the option of “Try avoiding ERP”, while the spinning thing on the page has been spinning for the last 15 minutes, and I hope I haven’t broken anything.
Glad you liked our site!
You'd probably never get a result even if you wait another 15 min, but don't worry you haven't broken anything on our site.
user contribution is kind of our end target, so thanks for contributing!
great site! gives my ez link card a workout!
i love gothere! the directions are painless to find! but i find streetdirectory more useful for their map accuracy. this is just grey patches. alternatively, i prefer yellowpages map or shownearby's map. they seem clearer to me.
these are the alternatives i am using:
http://www.yellowpages.com/map
http://www.can.com.sg
http://sg.shownearby.com
Thanks Ah Keong!
