123's catchment at tiong bahru plaza is not for those going to bt merah in the first place. there's the more frequent 16 and 851 to begin with. I know. In fa...

Post services which you think has bad frequencies.

For me, I think the worst one is 926's max waiting time of 55mins. The criteria for bad frequency is 20mins or above.

Feel free to give your opinions here:)

The frequency for 229 is rather bad for a feeder service.

186 and 97 can have irregular and long waiting times too.

SBS 3010C SG

194,11, and many more

SBS5010P SG

113,115,191,275,58,927,84

186 and 97 demand for dd not there. Judging frm e timetable of both svcs as both have dd perms..

TIB 501 D SG

Can just withdraw 275...

Both deserve DDs but not too much. 186 packed on AM Peak Hour so 2 DDs should suffice. 97 packed on peak hours, maybe 5 enough oredi liao, scarly all LO3X better...

186 needs the 4 DDs. Please see the load towards Shenton Way at River Place Condo between 8.30 and 9.00am. You cannot enter the DD. And 4 DDs are plied back to back because there is huge load. It is true that apart from these timings, 186 does not have DD deserving load. Hence, they should crossover to another route in the other hours.

97 loading is at MBA, Harborfront, Alexandra Road but only between 5.45pm and 6.45pm. Apart from this, you will see seats in SD to sit. Hence, you are right around 7 DDs on 97 should suffice.

According to me 64 has a very bad frequency. Especially whenever I want to take it on Alexandra road I see the bus is after 26 mins, next bus 31 mins. And this is a regular pattern, since it comes from Sims Place and loops at Queenstown.

I have observed the same with route 123 that loops at Bukit Purmei. The route should instead terminate at Bukit Merah to have better control on frequency and avoid bunching.

Bukit Merah --> Telok Blangah Way --> Bukit Purmei Ave --> Lower Delta Road --> Tiong Bahru and continue to Bukit Merah via Queenstown.

Then it shall be green plate and white plate LOL, and btw, plying Telok Blangah Way means you're introducing a height restriction to it... Currently, load is from Orchard Rd to Bt Purmei although it's ocassional loading only.

179 & 179A lor

no schedule adherence one esp 179A. 3pm first bus, 8pm last bus never appear one

At least the frequency is 03 mins, so it won't irk the commuters much, unlike 64, 123 with 15-20 minutes frequency.

BusAnalayzer SG

Height restriction doesn't matter for 123. It is full fleet SD, and there is no need for DDs on this route.

sbst275 SG

wait long long ar…

179A’s actual freq is 10 – 20 mins. Ever once it clocked 45 mins per bus. At 1 time, SLBP went to cancel 179A’s afternoon ops… all convert to 179 duty.. That time, big mess sia.. cos there’s no zheng hu in dispatch alrdy…

ever saw 179A desto bus plying on 179….

179 I think bus underoperate no 1 king alrdy…

But strangely, never see they micromanage 199… 199 never full one, still 4 – 5 mins freq…

sbst275 SG

if ppl kpkb why 241 lambat.. it’s always to do w/ 179 clogging up the Jurong West St 63 bus stop..

in fact, no matter how they try to change the actual dispatch of 179 & 179A.. forever got this problem of ppl unable to get the bus even though they really need the bus i.e. Pioneer Rd Nth..

why leh… cancel 179A all run 179 = longer runtime in reality, less frequent + no proper dispatch (3 or 4 179 bunching)... Mess up the Pioneer bus stop, mess up 241’s schedule…

You run 179A, ppl stubbornly take 179…

either way it’ll kill

At Boon Lay, I have observed 179 coming at regular intervals of 03 mins. 199 frequency is 05 mins.

In fact at Boon Lay Int , there are more pax boarding 199 than 179, but guess most ppl board at Pioneer, is it?

as again.. what time the crowd at Pioneer isn't really anywhere bigger... unless, the NTU shuttle screws up dip dip

If you say, the crowd at Boon Lay isn't too high, it is not high at Pioneer, then what justifies a full fleet of 27 DDs with 03 mins frequency for 179???

82 can be pretty epic in the evenings... many a times I've seen

NextBus: 23 min on iris (and it actually takes that long to arrive)
