Ok la. I like to aim the last NR sometimes. I don't mind taking
bus back at 4 30am and then reaching home at 5+am. Saves me a
little time and allow me to have a nice good breakfast near my
place rather than in town.
But NR BCs seem to be the crappiest bunch of BCs also.
1. They invariably get the route wrong. I keep hearing
complaints of NR turning into wrong street/road and even
expressway! As for my own NR6, the BCs dont seem to realise that
the bus-stop outside NEX is not actually served by them....hence
the pax is sometimes bewildered when they press the bell before it
turns towards Serangoon Central and the bus stops right away.
2. I've had BCs who drive.............................and nearly
slept on the wheel.
3. And when they do stay awake, I had other BCs who drove like
drunkards, refusing to keep to a single lane. On one occasion at
Hougang, our dear BC happily let the bus drift into the next lane
with a car next to it. The outraged car driver honked till everyone
in the bus woke up.
4. Most astoundingly, you could actually have NRs bunching up.
Even for NR1/6. I was very angry because I waited 1 hr like an
idiot on one occasion and 2 NR6 turned up. Both then started racing
each other which only served to make me wonder wtf is wrong with
the schedule.
SMRT should seriously wake up their idea about their bus
services.
