There are 11 downroutes from the Delfi @ Orchard from 7.50pm in the
evening till the end of operations, and that is not enough?
The round trip buses even bunched with downroute buses. At
around 9pm I think there were 4 buses within close range of each
other near Marina Bay, 9014C 9016Y 5150T and 3914U (in order).
And I think you need to appreciate the fact that SLBP despatched
all 4 5N crossovers proper yesterday, if not frequencies would be
worse. I think if you had to take 518 from town at 6pm/7pm you'd be
cursing and swearing. The scheduled headway was about 1 hour and
they reduced it to 40 + 40 after pulling 1 bus forward by 20 mins.
Reason? BN didn't despatch proper the first 3 4N crossovers and
only inserted them as downroutes somewere near Marina Bay. So all
those in Orchard areas all suffer.
ok, if it is that's the case, that is enough. Instead, some of
the downroute should start from MBS since they just open. They
should leave the jam area at orchard and reduce the bunch area.
I had always appreciate their effort.
