Actually 83 no need to go Punggol Central/Field and East,From Int just turn right to Punggol Place,Punggol Field 1 stop,Punggol Rd,Rivervale Dr,Compassvale St and to Sengkang Int..With more direct to Sengkang its also an alternative to MRT.A new feeder 383 will do Punggol Field/East/Edgefield plains/Central and back to Int.83 can cut 2 buses while the new feeder can do with just 3 buses.

Hi mr carbikebus, loss of direct link from Punggol central/east/field to Punggol road (Blk 190C/Blk 298 bus stop (opposite). Loss of another service from Punggol bus int to Punggol central. Cheers. Thanks.

The GA Ang Mohs was really suprised by the winding route to Sengkang actually,They claim its misleading people who wanna go to Sengkang from Punggol Int.Instead of a few mins to Sengkang by MRT the bus go one big round at Punggol Ctrl/East/Field..Hahaha.The EDS or bus int plate should put 83 Punggol East/Sengkang Int rather than only SKG.I think svc 3 already put Pasir Ris/Tampines because of the confusion.

Hi mr carbikebus, with no disrespect to them, the Ang MOHs don't understand our local culture. For those want go direct, they can take sbs 119 from Punggol to sengkang mrt direct. I think there is no need to put 2 destinations for every service. By the way, you joined Go Ahead already, right? Cheers. Thanks.

No,I joined other company as an LTA surveyor(James Bond).I forsee there will be only 4 operators in future with SBST/SMRT is the main player while another two is just on 5 years basis and will be replaced by another two foreign players.The two incumbents will still be holding 70% of the bus routes under their belt.I would be glad if LTA decide to tender out the MRT/LRT lines too.

Ang Mohs driving and their safety skills we can abide and follow but some of their driving culture like stopping 2 car lengths behind the front vehicle is really mainstream.
Typical run time issue for new BSEP service... 308 buses were all crawling.. they were given 26-29 mins (hear from BC conversations) per trip

If they are surprised, this means they never anticipated this when they were bidding for the contract. If so, why are they awarded the tender? Is it because they are from another country, that's why they won? Well, good luck to Go-Ahead yeah.

They anticipated more than we do but again a few guys doesnt represent the whole lot yeah..Its only theyre too used to their culture to include the route before the final destination,Nothing wrong with that.They also ask svc 17 routes before Bedok and i dont find anything wrong with that too,Do you have a problem with that?
More to come...to a bus stop near you.
Why does 196 have far more buses than 14, even though 14's route is longer?

Why does 315 have far more buses than 119 even thought 119's route is longer?
I hope you get the point.

Because 315 is a feeder service.
And for some reason, there are massive jams along Serangoon North Ave 4 at 7 am - 7.30 am.
kinda not related but does anyone know in mrt, what is the time travelled from one station to another?

Answer is simple to your question, mate. 196 has higher loading than sv 14 during peak hours to CBD from both Bukit Merah and Mountbatten Road.
What is the frequency of BPS2?

Maximum 10 minutes, I spotted 4 bendies laying over at the double yellow line before Bukit Gombak bus stop yesterday. I don't think it can be 10 mins
171 and also!!!

Where got 983 so long?171 i can agreed la..

983 total run time is 70 mins with 14 buses, that means a bus every 05 mins (peak hours). Possible it could have stuck in traffic, since sometimes the entry and exit gateway of CCK Interchange can be blocked that can take the runtime upto 80-90 mins. Yet frequency shouldn't be bad.

Yup 983 during peak hours also can jam at cck rd...
Typical frequencies observed at Paya Lebar MRT towards Marine Parade
43: 12-17 mins (because of long route + many high loading/alighting points, buses are prone to delays). Good thing is GA has a majority DD fleet with very few SDs, something SBS failed to offer
134: 10-14 mins
135: 12-15 mins
There are many occassions when 43, 134 and 135 will come together and there will be around 100-120 pax waiting at Paya Lebar bus stop. Usually I have noticed that if 134 comes first, it takes around 70-75 pax. Around 15-20 pax alight just one stop after at Tanjong Katong Complex.
Overall the 3 services are providing good connectivity to Marine Parade. 43 having more DDs has just helped!

Always 2-3 buses will come together at Paya Lebar for S43 ..
