SLBP is not stupid. If 179A is doing the job and earning more
revenue, why will it under-operate 179A?
It is right on their part to run more buses on s179 because most
people don't want to go to Boon Lay. Most people from NTU want to
alight at Pioneer. Have you not seen that? Maybe you are one of
those who wants to alight at Boon Lay and hence you crib because
you don't get 179A as frequently as 179.
But let me tell you, SLBP is doing the right thing by scheduling
more buses on 179. The time taken to just enter Boon Lay
interchange at PM peak can be long because of the number of buses
turning right. Can take upto 2-3 signals to just enter interchange.
In that time, people who take MRT at Pioneer would have already
reached Clementi.
You have a hidden agenda here and that's why you are making such
a big scene of it. As a commuter who has taken 179 and seen 179A, I
think they are well operated and most times buses have 70-80
pax on board due to the superb frequency in PM peak.
