Bus Observations (2011)

last SG · 2011-01-05T20:43:22+00:00

Every Saturday, the empty TQ slot for 187 will be done a random rigid. It will reach Block 320 Jurong East Stop at about 7.20am to 7.25am (towards Boon Lay)...

Seriously NTU need a terminal dedicated to 179/179A and loop at BNL instead.Modern A/C interchange screw big time..

Some SBSTransit K230UB EEV or Euro V: SBS5---- have new CCTV outside, back of the bus. On the centre.

that is quite true.

but well, what to do..... take 179A also stuck at Pioneer MRT because only one lane passable thanks to picking up of workers there.... in the end same same as taking 179.

& if your class is at 9.30am and you think you can board 179A at 9.10am to reach school on time... you'll be wrong. because all the 179As are stuck at Pioneer Rd Nth turning left and none in the bus bays.

not really from my observation.

179 gotta stop along Pioneer Rd Nth en-route into NTU, so it's slightly faster.

Actually they should let 179A use Jurong West Ave 4 as far as possible

yeah.... i was stuck along jurong west st 63 traffic lights with a 179 beside us all along.. of coz, along pioneer rd nth, 179A faster...

alternative route? maybe need to pay basic-plus then it'll go elsewhere...

if 151e's evening peak could use Dunearn Rd, semi express leg ought to be flexible

dun forget if turnaround time could be reduced, it makes more sense to schedule more trips for 179A instead.

I think right now is a chicken n egg prob, ppl think 179A queue too long so take 179 or rather take free bus (though w/ dist fare, the fare diff is seriously very very small).

if students staying as far as hougang/sengkang/punggol or me in tampines... 179/179A only few cents...

but really lah, i took 179A. the observation is that st63/st61 traffic junction and the jam along pioneer MRT... that, 179A need to avoid.

sinicker SG

and 179A is really bo lang at 3.30pm..... only see like 5-10 passengers...

wat to do.. BC gotta clock ard 8 hrs working time.

0730 - 0930 do 179A, aft which from I see BC's timesheet is 1x 179 trip (2 mins freq bet 0930 - 1030).

After 1500 - 2000 do 179 or 179A or 179B (South Spine ->> BNL)

I ever saw 242's ADD timesheet on a ride. AM order: 2x 242, 3x 179A, 1x 179 swing. PM peak: 1500 - 2000 Sv 242.

After 1500 - 2000 do 179 or 179A or 179B (South Spine ->> BNL)

or 241A/179/179A morning and afternoon 241 all the way. parent service 179.

last time temp int very efficient 4 lots for 179A. always had 4 buses there with one or two waiting to park behind....

boarding taking place.. about to full.. men in white radio over for one more to come slowly.. swee swee move off, next one come and boarding starts again...

now, with our new airconditioned interchange, i see no 179A at the parking lots.

then again, the opening of Pioneer MRT had a role to play...

sbst275 SG

got... the removed bendy lots.

Actually Pioneer MRT did end up made SBS to swap some 179A for 179 instead, good for ppl who stay along the way de. Last time freq was 7 mins. In some sense for evening peak, good as there's increasing no of part time students.

I think right now the dispatch of 179 allows it to take on NTU free bus's load. Simple, the shuttle bus can't carry standee.. 40 ppl
