JIS peak hours is superb,But off peak can be erratic.My mum ever waited 30 mins for 252 to come during weekdays

svc 58 will experience heavy traffic along eunos link & upp paya lebar rd..

if you take it during peak hrs, buses may experience heavy loading due to working pple making use of that svc..

once I boarded it at ubi ave 3 (twds PRI), it was experiencing heavy loading too..

No, I'm boarding at Pasir Ris, so it's almost empty. It's just that the frequency is horrible. Can we actually complain to CASE for poor service? :)

I've not seen long headways on 195 whenever I take it. It's abt 12 - 13 mins during off peak.

But I'm not too sure abt peak hours.

lol was on 195 yesterday. Reached somewhere, cant rmbr, and it says subsequent bus 27mins. Wonder if its true. LOL

Many bus services gets 20 mins off peak freq as well

Say 257 serving Jurong, it's 25 mins n it's non aircon service.

sbst275 SG

Maybe I'll state what criteria I used

- Non industrial service

- Plying a decent mileage on New Towns

- Plying schools

- Plying CBD

- Freq of more than 15 mins, off peak loading to me ought not to be more than 70%.

in singapore, every where also congested.. it wont be possible to find much journeys which will be smooth sailing

eg from central to west side, theres only 2 ways, 4 roads
mandai/ SLE
and south side lornie/ bt timah

all these cross country journeys.. sure will encounter jams along the way one

are you experiencing the same thing everyday..
sometimes it might be due to some time adjustments done..

and as to whether you can complain to CASE, I don't think they will accept it but you can try if you wish to.

How about the notorious 156? ~20mins is the norm!

Acx1688 SG

The route is mostly the same except for YCK portion...

Service 154.

During peak/normal hour if encounter with rain or bad traffic condition can stretch very long. Just last friday i was waiting for 154. Spent around 40 min(7.50pm - 8.30pm) to wait 1 due to traffic condition. And one short come 5 at 1 time. I hope that if this case were to happen again SBS(SLBP Depot) can at least sent 1 bus for emergency pick-up cause some passenger can't had patience. I mean not all but there were bound to be some.

You sure about that? 232's frequency is just nice leh. if lambat at most it's due to Lor 4/Ctrl there... Other than that it's still okay.

235? Pax load is upto lor 5 there and from lor 5 again back to int. Lor 1/2/3 not much. Sometimes bus can bunch up summore, so you want to reconsider? Since admendment, bus freq for 235 has improved leh....

SBS494J SG

For me, i feel that these services should improve

SBS494J SG

That one no need anyhow whack, it's already a reality that they need help. For 190, it cannot be helped already. Downtrips, SWT and still facing overcrowding since that bus links people to/fro BP/CCK - City faster than trains. 700 helps 190, but at BP sector. So yeah.

Transtar Solitarie SG

180 has a very good frequency during AM peak towards Boon Lay Int. However, at the same time, it has irregular or bad frequency frm Boon Lay to Bt Panjang till now. ITE students waited almost 15-20 mins or even more for 180 to turn up. There was once between 7.30am - 8.00am only 1 bus turn up at around 7.50am where the Q strech till the service information board in Boon Lay Int. ITE Students start lesson at 8am and 8.30am.

Acx1688 SG

i was referring to the SBST buses quoted by the post contributor

TIB657M SG

If heavy rain, no choice, all svcs confirm lambat. & some of buses need to downroute from elsewhere. Thus, the affected routes will have more than 30 mins of frequency.

lemon1974 SG

every service sure have issue one... it all depend on different situations..

for example, if you need to take sv76 to YCK Mrt everyday.. so you know that the bus will arrive at your bus stop at around 8am everyday, so u go down at 7.57am to wait... from mon to thurs, the bus come on time at around 8am... you happy happy go work... then suddenly on friday, the bus come later at 8.10 or 8.15am due to some jam/accidents or some other issue...so you will not be happy and will complain......
