i feel that sv 52 should be made AM/SL controlled instead of
solo SL. my reason for this is because of first few buses issues.
if i'm not wrong, bus departing from 0545 - 0655 at bishan int are
all off svc from slbp and start their first trip at bishan.
this few days i observed that the trip departing at 0641 &
0655 from T1 failed to meet the schedule timings along the way. i
have no idea what is the traffic like along sin ming ave &
bishan st 22 at 7am as i board the bus along upp thomson, therefore
i couldn't jump into any conclusion.
today i went to try taking sv 52 from bishan int. i reached
bishan int around 0643. saw the 0641 depart on time, therefore i
tried waiting for the 0655 trip. at 0700, the bus was nowhere seen.
in the end the 0709 bus was instructed to depart at 0701
instead.
my conclusion at that point of time was that maybe the off svc
bus was stuck in a jam along PIE or something. if that is the case,
how great would it be if the first few buses were from AMDEP, like
last time. quite disappointing.
p.s. correct me if i'm wrong anywhere.
0655 trip is the last trip that starts from Bishan which off
service from slbp. It can be due to a million and one reasons why
the bus still havent report to the int.
Driver depart slbp on time but needs more off service run time
to Bishan
Driver wanna geng and do downroute
No driver
Bus broke down halfway to Bishan
Bus stuck in jam like 0630 in the morning? the only place with a
jam at that time are the land checkpoints lor...
