300 can already be packed to the door when it arrives at CCK Ave
4. If buses are on time, no problem, if there is even 2 min delay,
you can see how crowded the bus stops on Ave 4 get because ppl have
to leave 1-2 buses to board. The next 2-3 buses will be fine.
302/307 are much better in terms of managing load than 300, hence u
see complains on 300 more.
Not really..as a cck resident, i feel that 302 and 307 has a
fair share of its crowd too. During weekday PM peak, crowd for
302 is at yew tee MRT stop..u will see the bus stop super full, and
85% of the pax want to board 302. Slight delay on 302 will see more
pax at the stop and they wun be able to board the bus, even though
its bendy, since trains will come every other min and in both
directions, similar to the corwd for 300, where slight delay will
cause significantly more passengers.
307 will peak at Lot one bus stop. To cck residents (YewTee
side), 307 will be a notorious service for bus bunching,
regardless of timings, rain or shine, even though headways for non
peak is 8-10mins or even longer. This is especially evident during
AM peak, PM peak, and weekends. Majority couldnt board the bus from
lot one stop during PM peak (esp 7 plus), and case worsen if the
bus that arrive is from TeckWhye and not fresh from cck int,
causing a significant number of passengers left at the bus stop.
And load cannot be cleared efficiently due to deployment of rigid
buses. Missing 2 bus that bunch means next bus will come at least
15 mins later, even during peak.
307 also pass by alot of schools and residents may find
themselves missing at least 3 buses during school start time and
school dismissal time.
Many Yew Tee residents rely on 302 and 307 to get to their home,
just like CCK (SunshinePlace area) relying on 300 to get home. But
at least if they live at 200 and 400 series, they have 172 and 975
as alternatives but definitely not YewTee area..
