Before many people takes the chance to lash at SMRT (again),
please note that besides the fleet of SMRT Buses, there are private
coaches contracted with SMRT to cater to the charter. Besides, some
buses went back into revenue service by PM peak.
I myself don't feel any "suffering" during peak hour that day.
Everything seems normal.
This is the funny part.
Esp for public transport operator, how come suddenly engage
private bus ops do 3rd party contract. Or is there something amiss
that no one knows? So are they called PTOs for name?
If more buses ended up delayed because of late dispersal of
school shuttle, it's going to affect more. If it's 2 buses on svs
you dun take, obvious you dun suffer.
In any case the regulators are alrdy very particular abt buses
used for peak hrs. Obviously everyone knows the buses gotta come
from somewhere.
