last SG · 2014-04-11T12:18:57+00:00

Bus bunching is a very normal occurence. 2 months ago, i have seen 4 buses sbs88 bunching along punggol road outside blk 298 bus stop towards TPE back to pas...

Instead of seeing 3 KUBs on 27 bunch...there's 3 Citaro on 27 bunch

For bus no.8, it needs 2 buses to clear the crowds! I dunno why they dun deploy DD.

theres not enough DD buses to be deployed. also i believe this to be the reason why some sv are still not getting upgrade to DDs.

SBS3688Y SG

Hi mr sbs3688Y, this is quite a normal occurrence. One thing I have learnt is when the first bus is usually crowded, it is always better to take the next bus (if you want a comfortable ride with a seat at least). This is true for the winding sbs 3. The second bus tends to catch up with the first. Cheers.

but prob is ppl dun know if there is another bus following behind or not. and sometimes the empty bus behind may overtake the front bus and skip that bus-stop.

I tend to agree to your statement... Hence, you see only few services getting upgrade like 54 but at the same time see more services getting downgraded like 166, 225, 196. Clearly LTA/SBST need to get more DDs as even services like 10 are only getting Sd fleet adds when they should get DDs instead.

Sv 100 bunching towards Ghim Moh around 6pm

spotted 3 buses between SP Jain and NOL building while on Sv 120 in the opposite direction... There was maybe one other bus between them but surely 3 buses were within 1 min interval of the other...

didn't pay much attention to first bus, but 2nd and 3rd bus didn't seem to have many pax.

2 sbs 3 bunch again at pasir ris drive 12 towards Punggol direction at 7.33pm on 16-06-2014. Sbs 3 is a serious contender for bunching. Not too sure how LTA view there is improvement on the recent BSRF announced today. Cheers

SMB42P SG

1. SERVICE 172: SMB103Y bunch with TIB1050G (172S103) at After Blk 201 stop towards CCK at 0820hrs

2. SERVICE 302: TIB1217T left CCK INT together with TIB1153T (302PM04) at around 1842hrs as TIB1153T was stuck behind SMB34M for quite some time and boarding takes quite awhile...TIB1217T eventually overtook TIB1153T at Warren Golf Course stop and from then on, they appear back to back, and they reached Yew Tee MRT stop together..TIB1153T was late for 5 mins...no wonder in today's news 302 fail BSRP...

Feeders/Intratowns/Townlink especially those cashcow ones cant be help la bro..sure bunching

SMB42P SG

Feeders/Intratowns/Townlink especially those cashcow ones cant be help la bro..sure bunching

I know...just listing..302 failed the BSRP too according to the news...

SMB42P SG

SERVICE 172:

SMB56A (172AM05) left CCK INT late at 0811hrs..and TIB829J (172S106) left CCK INT at 0815hrs (on time). TIB829J BC was driving the bus as though he is flying along CCK AVE 1 and OLD CCK RD. End up TIB829J caught up with SMB56A at Opp Tengah Air Base stop, with less than 10 pax onboard. TIB829J was at least 5 mins ahead of schedule. TIB829J followed behind SMB56A until at the bus stop Opp Nanyang Ave, SMB56A managed to go through the traffic light while TIB829J was held up by the red light.

Subsequently, there is a jam just before the junction of Jln Bahar and Jln Boon Lay, causing the bus to "pull back the time" to be 1 min late when i got down at Blk 263 bus stop...

Svc11 bunching at Rhu Cross..

Catastrophic for a service like 11 to bunch... Means first bus around 30-34 mins late, for 2nd one to bunch.

Hi mr SBS3688Y, this is normal occurrence. Nothing to be taken aback. Morning peak hour frequency for this service is 9 min. With this being a looping service and the route being extensive and many crowded industrialized and schooling stations being serviced, I don't find any reason why it will not bunch after the crowds have gone. This is true especially since it is going back to Punggol. I also suspect why they make it looping service is they want the residents in Punggol field to take LRT rather than sbs 62. So by having such unpredictable timings of sbs 62, people will be more inclined to take LRT rather than wait for sbs 62 if they miss 2 buses at a go. I will be more surprised if there is no bunching given the above reasons. Cheers.
