svc 124 is mostly due to orchard turn..
there's always illegal parking & vehicles waiting to turn into ion orchard cp..
Woodlands Rd jam has nothing to do w/ lorries these days.
ICA or LTA no longer restricts cars from Woodlands Rd into CIQ

40, 42, 58 have pretty low off peak demand. Their close to 20 mins off peak freq is justified.
JIS of course off peak freq is not tat frequent la.
178'S Schedule seems to be working fine, the last time I took 780P it was on schedule.
Seems like this schedule really worked though, though I haven't been taking 178 frequently due to some other stuff.
Originally posted by nfshp253:Every day I take 58 and I wait at least 25 minutes per bus. This is really atrocious. And all the buses are either LO3X or O405s. But that means they might get replaced by B9TLs or the upcoming Citaros.
svc 58 will experience heavy traffic along eunos link & upp paya lebar rd..
if you take it during peak hrs, buses may experience heavy loading due to working pple making use of that svc..
once I boarded it at ubi ave 3 (twds PRI), it was experiencing heavy loading too..
163
Last week waited from 6.20pm to 6.50pm for 163 at YCK. 3 service 86 buses had already passed by
SBST's 175 and 195 too. Can wait quite long for me.

I've not seen long headways on 195 whenever I take it. It's abt 12 - 13 mins during off peak.
But I'm not too sure abt peak hours.
i see svc 9,19,89 not being mentioned, are they doing okay so far?

not only that, 124 drives always stop their buses along telok blangah cresent to go to the loo

for svc 45, the layover time for BC is one of the longest..
so expect to wait longer if there's a breakdown (e.g. front & back bus)..

Take 176 after 6:15 p.m, and you can easily see 2-4 sv176 buses bunching. Take last monday for instance, 4 sv176 buses arrived at the same time. I flagged down the last one. Nobody on it.

nvr encountered this before during my joyrides..
but you can't blame the BCs coz its a loop svc which means no terminating point..

All the 4X svs, 40, 42, 43, 45, 48 all the least off peak freq aren't very good.
But I believe it can be maintained below 17 or 18 mins
recently have been taking svc 40 & there's not many pple using this svc during off peak periods & same goes for svc 45..

yah
but thing is, I think I've done up Sv 40's... Can still maintain at within 18 or 22 mins (cannot remember exact headways I planned out).
on my part I do not wish commuters to wait too long for a bus either.

off peak freq 20 - 25 mins
This applies to the Jurong Industrial Services incl 182, 192, 193
Originally posted by nfshp253:
No, I'm boarding at Pasir Ris, so it's almost empty. It's just that the frequency is horrible. Can we actually complain to CASE for poor service? :)
Many bus services gets 20 mins off peak freq as well
Say 257 serving Jurong, it's 25 mins n it's non aircon service.
