MP spot checks our bus timings

Medicated Oil SG

He is taking right approach as the transport problems should be one of the stuff that the residents have highlighted.

I give him credit and support for facing a sensitive topic and addressing it.

Whether it is resolved by the authority upon his feedback, it remains to be seen.

But, it is a good start.

SBST has improved their services alot as compared to SMRT. They had introduced DDs to 95, and there are short trip services to 200 and 95 during morning peak hours. On the other hand, SMRT frequencies to 970 was terrible, despite being the only bus service that linked Commowealth MRT and Holland Road. Moreover we now seeing more non-bendies plying on SMRT106. Seeing those DDs plying on SBST174, 7 would only make me fumes.

When circle line ply to Kent Ridge, I wondering if those NUS internal bus services have the capacity to accomodate the large crowd? And if NUS students would abandon Clementi MRT and make transfer at Kent Ridge instead? Or if NUS students would prefer to make bus transfer at BV instead of Kent Ridge ...

CCL does not have e capacity to crash load NUS & Pasir Panjang heading folks actually with its 7 mins freq and 3 carriage nature.

Though I would see 92, 95, 200's freq being slashed.

Just as you label PRC drivers, many car drivers are equally ah tiong if that being the case.

wa laoz eh, more and more times of e-brake on right hand of expressway.

So Singaporeans are now Ah Tiongs in driving skill?

Rock^Star SG

Singaporeans quite a number cannot drive for nuts la. Little bit get angry. Siao.

The transport problem has always been highlighted through the generations.

Always the response from the top is that the system is adequate and serving the people well, and is better than other countries.

Its only when they see for themselves, that they are shocked.

There have been feedbacks and there have been backfeeds, and the Minister in the Prime Minister's Office says it is a surprise for them that the resentment is so deep.

I wonder who tailored the white uniforms.

we pay him 15k salary for him to be a bus inspector?

A good one. All these people wayang only. After one year, they bo chap already. See now Raymond Lim still taking Sv 960 during peak hour at Bt Panjang or not. What has the LTA Centralised Bus Planning done so far after this unit was intro two years ago? (Drawing huge salary and forwarding emails to the respective operators only) Nothing except identified a few heavy usage routes and asked bus operators to add more trips plus a few route amendment here and there. Worst, in the Northwest area operated by SMRT. One route diverted to serve the what hospital in Yishun and one express route with 3 bloody single direction trips in the morning. I think some of us can do a better job with less than 15K per month salary.

Actually the mess started from YCT's time.

Bo chup abt improving bus svs saying buses are useless - more MRT is better.

But R.L could have solved it back in 2006.

MBT talked abt bus - MRT ops merger, so created today's messed up sub standard SMRT.

YCT say protect MRT policy, end up capacity not met w/ growing demand.

To think ST talked abt MBT's involvment in NEL. I heard ppl had to challenge MBT to take a bus ride along Upp S'goon Rd bef NEL was built.

I think lucky it was built else how would bus co handle growing Sengkang, Punggol & Hougang's bus sv needs?

MBT was somemore ex- GM of SBS

It is not him lah. It is the whole system.

Clinical, soul-less procedures.

Yeo Cheow Tong and Raymond Lim's 10 years were a period of stagnation. They should never have gotten the position. I wonder how come Goh Chok Tong and Lee HL appointed them with a plan to do nothing. Show that he's one of those disconnected people.

A GLC.

service_238 SG

if you notice Raymond lim did nothing but clearing the backlog of what YCT didnt do during his tenure as transport minister. and even when he steps down from office he still havent clear finish. LTY will still be clearing shit.. unless he creates more and stockpile for the next one to clear..
