I have been observing two to three 179 buses come at the same
time in the morning at around 7:20am. Sometimes, one or two
relatively empty 179A buses drive pass a outside-NTU-campus bus
stop, which I feel that it is a waste of resources.
Seriously, I wish LTA can consider taking out some buses from
the 179/179A fleet and use those buses to create a new
short-working trip of 179, for people staying along Pioneer Road
North to take to Pioneer MRT Station. At least during peak
hours.
179 outside NTU campus is not reliable, but people still take it
because it takes them to Pioneer MRT, especially for people staying
at N8 and N9 who only have 179 along Pioneer Road North.
May I nominate 179 to be in this reward-penalty scheme that is
meant to make sure bus services come on time? Thanks.
Bro.. sv 179 has one of the best frequencies ever... you have a
bus every 03 minutes that too DDs and most DDs in AM run empty back
to Boon Lay (that means enough capacity for Pioneer Rd North
residents to Pioneer MRT)
Why complain or even think of reward-penalty for a service with
such super high frequency? Tell me which other service in Singapore
has this amazing frequency that too with all DDs.
