So roads many things can happen...291 also bunching,8 also bunching.Take it as a bonus for passengers cause they got alternative to choose front or rear bus.Nowadays 969 also bunching along Yishun..Too many bsep,traffic lights timings and road conditions.

Sv 8 I can understand. They normally dispatch the SDs together. 1 Sd impossible to take load, so they share load. Sometimes also dd bunching though.

sv76 bunching daily is a natural occurence, there is no control...

sv 76 now loop at M Terrace, can follow sv36 style, have a 10minute layover, change driver if possible if not, its ok

Agreed... And for Sv 76 mostly bunching of 2 DDs. Add to it when a 43 dd joins them. I don't need to elaborate more, do I? :)

Spotted 3 DDs on 74 back to back on AMK Ave 3 - all 3 had standies... Very rare to see 3 DDs together and that too packed.

172 just happened on Monday. TIB475X bunch with TIB1204E towards boon lay.

985 sometimes is night time where BCs dun care. I rmb the last occurence was a few weeks back where TIB710S bunch with SMB133K at 10 plus at night towards CCK..

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 pasir ris. Just 2 days ago, i witnessed 3 buses sbs 3 bunching along pasir ris central going towards pasir ris bus interchange around 7.45am. The first bus sbs 3 was damn slow until it takes 55 min just to reach pasir ris int from punggol field which cocks up the whole schedule. Sbs 3B (from pasir ris ave 12 to st 71 to central) also caught up with the 3 buses of sbs 3. This scenario was partly attributed to the bus captain for the bus driver driving at an incessant slow speed and even shouting at the passengers not to board at the back and refusing to drive. I think sbs transit even called the driver ask for his location and he replied he was at meridian JC and he was stuck in traffic jam. What nonsense. There was no jam. The 2nd and 3rd sbs 3 buses even caught up with him.

This occurrence happens very often on Sv 147 also during am peak. I have spotted multiple times at Bendemeer 3 DDs on 147 back to back.

in such cases, one of the be should overtake and go ahead and pick pax but no. Most of the times, they will tail the bus in front... Bus in front having high boarding/alighting taking more time, and the buses behind empty. Some BCs are also notorious to keep 1-2 other buses in between so that ppl don't realize there is the bus at the back. I just don't understand this kind of logic.

With the current tracking says yet most driver chose to be late than early else they will be panalised by their route master if they're more than 10 min ahead of schedule.

Penalised like salary deduction?

There's this phenomenon too on 27.

During PM peak BCs tend to tail the first bus from Tampines Central all the way till IKEA until finally overtaking from there and mounting onto TPE.

I still don't get why they did this. Probably tired of squishing in pax? Or screwing up the system?

1st time of course a coffee talk with your route master/group supervisor,2nd written warning and so on probably discipline action which could affect your bonuses..Off course under 10mins can close one eye la...If not who wanna work?They are more stringent in high volume bus stops,Vital fare stage point and your arrival to Int/Ter or looping point..Like fishing game,have to throw and have to pull.

27 we understand cannot have high cap buses and the loadings issue thus the train like system of deployment.

No I'm not referring to the bunching here.

I'm referring as to why BCs like to tail and suddenly all overtake when reach IKEA.

TIB 585L SG

No wonder there a timesheet with various bus stops and timings and some SLs tell me that they have to chiong for a short moment to reach this bus stop on time

carbikebus SG

Because the Senkang loadings front bus have kapo all the pax and they realised they're behind schedule also

Maybe the same case can apply on 190. Off peak also 4-5 buses bunch in which there is no congestion along the route

carbikebus SG

No congestion but loadings at certain stops require more time,off peak traffic light timings also play a part..off peak run time also quite short..take note lunch time some workers take buses ah.That time I ever 10 mins late during off peak for sic 61
