Wait..that last bus for sv3 is not scheduled? I thought is GA side did not operate that last trip instead?

The problem is the 2-3 service to drive per shift and thats the main problem..No fixed buses also..If they assigned 1 bus per BC then won't have this nonsense shit..0540 drive DD do svc 43 and left bus at Int,Then wait for another DD for svc 85 before waiting for a single deck to do svc 382....

Hi mr carbikebus, I don't think it is the erratic LTA school holiday scheduling. On the flat screen panels showing the time to depart the Punggol bus interchange, the buses don't even show up at all. Sometimes not just 1 bus departure can go missing. On occasions, 2 go missing. End up people keep waiting. The 2 buses were 13 min apart. But both also never come to pick up passengers. So end up is a virtual system. Haha.

Hi mr carbikebus, I thought they are one of the largest bus operators in the UK? They are also an experienced company in charge of transportation. Why they cannot even fulfil the basic rule of having buses leaving interchange at the timing they put on the screen? Cheers. Thanks.

sv 12 is doing okay. Where do you really see that Citaros cannot tank the load? Most buses have loading of 50-60 pax. But sv 12 is notorious of getting delayed and bunched. Hence, sometimes a sv 12 can get around 80 pax.
There was the part of Bedok South Road to Tanah Merah that usually would get 80 pax but now you have 47 to alleviate the load as well, as well as erstwhile 38.
Bedok South Rd to Tanah Merah as you have mentioned (indeed, I agree that 47 has been useful in tanking part of its load). Also Tanah Merah to Simei/Tampines area (this one 38 can only partial tank). It's at Tanah Merah itself that people cannot board.
If 12 cannot full DD, just don't decrease the percentage of the existing DDs can liao.
I forgot to mention Sv 2 as well. You have rightly pointed out that 2 should full DD.

Largest in UK doesnt mean you're the greatest in Asean right?

Hope LTA woke up and learn to have fixed buses for BC instead
On 6 Sept, I saw SMB3136 at bukit batok bus stop (blk 628) and i was onboard a 985... Before that I was at the int and there was 1 missing scheduled departure. BC was calling OCC at bus stop. After i reached lor 1 geylang, the bus was there parking lol
-
I only took 386 twice but I'm 100% confident about getting the route correct.

I believe Go-Ahead is working hard to resolve the teething problems.
Give them time. Things will get better.
-
heard that 31 BCs from go-ahead resign on first day?
carbikebus can confirm this?
if more BCs resign, i think some of the pasir ris services (maybe sv2/36) can remain under SBST liao..

they have more than 1/2 year to prepare already.....if BCM is having such issue, might as well ask SBST to run instead..(although SBST got bunching, but at least departure from interchange/terminal are usually on time, if got delay, they will also put on tv screen). even if there is traffic jam, they can pull buses over from other services.
But go-ahead is tv screen put departure timing, but buses never appear.. maybe the departure timing is for the bus to leave the interchange without pax...

U see the system already weird one esp the duties. Do 1 duty svc, Then park at interchange, wait for another svc wich maybe late, then do that svc, go depot sleep, take another svc. I rmb SBST/SMRT system so rigid and simple. 1 BC 1 svc per day -
Go-Ahead more like Go-Late.-.

all part can find at my web

Hi mr carbikebus, the last bus is service 3. Not 3A. Full trip from Punggol to tampines. Cheers. Thanks.

so many complains on Go-ahead facebook..
some guy keep on defending Go-ahead and tell those paxes to feedback to LTA since buses are under LTA... wtf, Go-ahead is the operator and if buses are not being operated, then it is Go-ahead issue.. why become LTA issue? this same guy also say it is LTA who planned the scheduling of buses.. dun think LTA planned buses to be 30 mins frequency and buses to be missing from departures...
even got youtube video of sv386 go the wrong way...
-
GA deploy more SDs on 43 today.... (??)
