Originally posted by dupdup77:Hi mr carbikebus, is this standby BC arrangement an improvement in view of the issues occurring last few days? If yes, it is a good sign. If you are able to help, ask them transfer some of the 83 DDs to 3 DDs. Cheers. Thanks.
First day to yesterday only 4-6 standby BCs at Int and lot of cases buses kena hijacked..Someone complained to boss I think regarding the depot standby
Originally posted by carbikebus:And just now 386 bunching along Edgefield and Punggol East..A total of 4 buses excluding 2 at Int.S34 still struggles with timings too tight..Pity those AP buses,Mealtime kena kapo also..S118 2 buses departure at 0545 and 0548,Pax at TPE also confuse..No bus no bus at all,Got bus too many buses..136 freq at 17-21 mins peak hours..Jialat also..Sgoon Gdns issue.82,83,84,85 today 👌�..S3 can do with more DDs.Still loading issues haiz..
Hi mr carbikebus, for service 386, I feel that there is a serious mindset issue. The bus captains tend to drive quite slowly maybe to pick up more passengers along the way. Then once many alighted at edgefield plains end bus stop, the next few catch up easily when they all loop around Punggol field/east/central before embarking on the 2 circular loops. The bus captains need to leave interchange on time and move the buses fast so that the next bus will not catch up. No point to be 'Mr Nice Guy' and carry passengers full load for 1 bus and the others will only get less than half load. More important at task to have headway between each bus. Cheers. Thanks.
Originally posted by carbikebus:Have to ask LTA also,We plan here and there also no point if they rejected.We proposed 62 to terminate at Lor 1 also until now haven't reply.Today less cases of buses kena hijacked because this GA Malay guy bring 1 spare bus to Int and take note of BCs mealbreaks.Am got 1 Malay LTA very strict on the ball keeping track of departure,OCC kena blast by him..
Hi mr carbikebus, the way I see it, if service 62 keeps getting cock-ups, LTA will give in to relentless pressure to terminate 62 at geylang lor 1 terminal. Good too. Yes by right need to depart the bus interchange on time spontaneously. Cheers. Thanks.

Hi mr sbs6750E, I doubt 136 bunches. Because 136 is more likely to be far lesser buses except peak hours in morning. Cheers. Thanks.

Hi mr carbikebus, who knows they may have received a huge complaint from LTA? Some Punggol residents have written to LTA. Cheers. Thanks.
Just now at 1pm, a 43 DD (SG5059L) drove into IMH.
I'm not joking.
There were many students on the bus (strangely even though it is sch hols), who were all laughing.

sv 136 frequency is around 12-14 mins anyway. More than the next bus I am concerned what the gap must be before the 3 sv 136 bunch, maybe around 30-35 mins?

There will be with the number of new BTOs coming up.
43M can become a new service in 2017 called 108

Chinaman
Some of the SG plate DDs in GA, along with a few ex 43 DD perms now in GA (3460, 3461, 3506) have been MIA from GA services.
Are they on training for Pasir Ris services?
