Bus driving at slow pace

SBS n SMRT SG

its 95% due to schedule. all the time. just compare a sv 25 and 854 bus. 45min for 25 and 28min for 854 from hg ave 2 to bedok int taking the same route during peak hours.

sbst problem is that they add time during 3-5pm when there is no jam. den the poor BC got to drive very slowly. den mealbreak at 6plus runtime still the same, bigger headways causing higher loading along with the hardcore jams become not enough time. problem is with the meal break period not 3-5pm. 6plus trips tend to be late with the exception of crazy runtime services like 25 and 72 which you can practically head 30kph per stop.

yah lah, smrt fast =)

Yea True.

I Live Along Jalan Bukit Merah, Every Morning When i go to school i'll nid a bus Ride(961,14,147,196,197). If 961 Comes Behind any of the SBST Buses i'll take e 961 Bcos Everytime Without Fail, 961 Will OVERTAKE the SBST Bus.

Oh And yea Sometimes Bus Drivers Just Drive VEERY SLOW. Once i boarded 33, at Redhill MRT towards Tiong Bahru Plaza, The Bus Went Off Very Slow and STOP AT A GREEN LIGHT. My Friend Was Like WTF is rong with the Bus ? Stop at Green Light? But i noticed the 63 Infront Passed with no problem. after a few seconds the 33 move off from the junction and reach the next bus stop. it stopped and doesnt want to open the doors for the passenger to board until 30 seconds later, den when finishing boarding le 15 sec later den close de door. den it move off to the next traffic light which was also green and stopped agn? 10 seconds later it moved off and went to the next bus stop and slowly proceed on to Tiong Bahru.

lol.

ok lah the speed is ok..but the frequency can be more consistent.

TYING SG

fuck bus, i'm gonna drive once i get the license

Yes. After I get that damn license, I'm not going to take the bus anymore -.- Suaysuay that day also forget to bring out my nets card, if not can have board a cab instead.

Anyway, SMRT buses are really faster. Base on experience, the speed taken in SMRT buses are usually much quicker than that of SBS. All my snail pace bus experience comes from SBS!

Don't mean to pin point at bus drivers who are doing their job, going by what some of you guys say, it should be the management dai ji alr -.-

You are right, it is definitely a management problem. Failed to carry out frequent running time review of services under charge of Route Groups and Districts.

Not productive !!!

SBS 8030 L SG

Even the fastest driver in Sv 174 have to be subjected to drive slow pace during thr day time due to the strict rule that BC early for a certain amount of time will get a penalty. Indeed, every service runtime during afternoon around 3-6pm had a long runtime. But the fun kicks in for joyriding when going home at night when the runtime for almost every service gets cut down by more than 10 mins. Some can get cut down as much as 30 mins. Especially at night around 10 plus to 11 plus.

Why can't they leave late for 1-2 mins at the interchange , then on the route can drive a bit faster. Usually BCs would be late for 1 min.

usually the feeder will drive very slow

What I notice is that for SBST they have to tap their card at the time of departure, and by the time the bus leaves the interchange, its already 3 mins late...

Sometimes They Arrive too early at the Interchange Berth and The Ezlink Card Reader will still be Lighted Red. AND YOU CANT Tap ur Card Until The Correct Departure Time.

There's schedule provision for drivers to walk to the bus and pick pax in the interchange at the start of the trip and drive to bus park after alighting pax and walk to the control office at the end of the trip.

I rmb 2 days ago spotting a crowded TIB1123E on 854 enroute to BDK at Khatib MRT station . Then a minute or two later I saw a Habit carrying little pax plying the same route and direction!

With the frequency of 854 being approx. 7-10 mins, I can infer that the BC of TIB1123E shld be quite late..

Do you think that BC driving at dragging speed meant that is considered safe ? There are more road safey issues than just the speed. Bus driving so slowly (hogging) can frustrate other road users, but also the commuting customers.

Comparing SMRT and SBST buses, there are relative more cases of dragging speed with SBST buses.

Wait till you try 176(during offpeak), 184(during off peak), 922 then you will know.
