my only place to let out my impatientcy... Sengkang suppose to get
long ago since so many of those f***ing pieces of scrap, but SBS
doesn't even seem to care, keep downgrading and give what's
supposed to be Sengkang's share to other rich svc, bishan svc, 502,
99... these make me so...
***explode in anger***
Dear SMB128B,
I am just a silent reader on this forum and have totally no
vested interest in either of the warring factions here. My sole aim
is to just find out more about the buses that I take.
Now that I have my stand made clear, let me give you my $0.02's
worth. I really think that you are one immature git.
Yes, you read that right. I moved into Sengkang back in 1998
(when the only bus service was 865 under then-TIBS) and only moved
out last year to Bedok Reservoir. In my opinion, I do not care
whether they give a MKIII or Citaro, KUB or DM3500, LO3x or Wright,
what matters is the frequency and predictability of buses.
Last time, I used to take KUBs to work every morning on 80
(sometimes it's a CDGE B9TL instead) and KUB on 136 back home. It
didn't bother me a bit that the buses were newer or older. What
matters is that the bus frequency is reliable and predictable.
Now that I hav moved to Bedok Reservoir, I get a HUGE amount of
Wrights and Citaros passing by my house every day (168, 22, 5, 28
etc). So what? Despite 5's spanking new Wrights, their atrocious
frequency (15 minutes next bus, 20 minutes sub bus) means that I
love to take 65 more (even though its newest perms are like VO3x or
KUBs). To me, a good bus is a bus that comes reliably and allows me
to board and get to my destination with minimum time spent. Of
course it will be good to get seats but in light of our population
numbers now, that is a bonus.
Your complaint about lack of Citaros/Wrights smacks of immature
thinking in my opinion. Really, as one would say, get a life. I
will choose 3 MKIIIs coming reliably every 10 minutes instead of 3
bunched-up Wrights coming every 30 minutes.
