Bus 179/ 179A combined freq is abt 2 mins during the peak within peak period.

i’m not willing to pay $1.20 for a 3.2km journey in current prices if you want all the above to happen.

Engboki SG

true after all.but 179/179A is always full at NIE and my relative had to wait for 4 buses before he can go onboard.some more some Bus 179/179A skip stops for the other bus stops making it impossible to go onboard at NIE.

like that, Sv30 need at least 50 buses? Sv96 need at least 30 buses? where do we find all the drivers/buses/spaces? then you will also complain because all the buses bunched up at interchange/along the route....

lemon1974 SG

further, there is problem with the traffic conditions/passengers who does not want to move in etc... they can plan each bus depart interchange at 5 mins interval... then if suddenly one mrt train came and more passengers board the bus, it will stay at the interchange for one more min, and then get stuck at the traffic light for another min, and this carry on and on.. and the bus will get delay (as it ferry more passengers) and thus it have to stop at bus stops longer for boarding/alighting..... so the later bus will catch up very fast....

Pardon me if i sound "sour", but your wish list I think kneel to MP also no use . Basically 5 min freq for most services u have here is mirage, and 179 at 2 min with approx 25 buses assigned at max level is alr like saturated le. LRT only run with 3 carriage at 3 min the fastest range, though i admit not living in west i cannot emphatize how loading is over there.

198 weekdays i cant comment as in where the folks gather and burst the bus, but on a weekend where only about 60% fleet it seems their freq is still at 8 min level despite relatively low loading, so 198 ought to be contented le.

Engboki SG

So you mean that train is faster than bus?or you mean that 198 shld increase frequent or what?erm..sorry I do not understand.Can please repeat?

Engboki SG

So as you mean no additonal buses is supposed to be added to the current condition now.Anyway I did not complain about the road been jammed.

shanfan SG

It is rampant and common that some buses come after waiting time of 30 to 45 mins. Usually when this happen, the buses are full of passengers and leave no room for boarding passengers. Understandable drivers just drive pass busstops.

If this happens once in a while it is acceptable. In the long run, it is questionable. Sometimes even cause employees to be late for work.

Such kind of service the bus companies still dare ask for fare hike. Bear in mind, this has been going on for a very long time already.

Agree with you.but to tell you,the 179/179A bus service had been going on for an extremely long time already.

Did you write to them about this?

Engboki SG

Did you write to them about this?

Actually no.because I do not know how to write to them.

shanfan SG

Same here. I did approach them in the interchange not for this topic but for clarification of bus fare. Stated on the board fare is 0.961 but actually the fare reduction is more than $1. The SBS pushed blame on this to LRT for publishing wrong fares and they referred me to talk to LRT. I was just furious. They aren't responsible at all. All they know is to keep increasing their profits and cannot be bothered to improve their service.

SBS2601D SG

Siao leh.

While I applause your initiative, I dont want a $3 fare for 96 that comes once every 1 min.

Even though I am a regular on this service. At least at the moment.

In fact 96 currently is coping alright.

sbst275 SG

It'll forever be full because everyone's starting time is not 0830 is 0930 or 1030..

concentrated loading

time belt low demand means empty buses.

list me which buses gets regular 30 - 45 mins?

The expressway buses are the worst hit if any langa occurs.
