I am aware that BC had a schedule to adhere to..........so this is a disclaimer to the following

What that i am not sure is that when the DDU is green light and the too had been going on, some BC repeately choose to lambat like hell..dunnow what the hell they are doing, for example, stopping and calling at BS which is isolated(If the speed is 15 kph SBST and SMRT regulation i accept, but turning in is nonsense especially at BS where BC can clearly see bus stop paxs), also try to slow down like want the green light to turn yellow like that, no traffic at road yet spent 1 minute turning out(this can be excusable for Leyland drivers, haven eat rice no effort to steer, but for volvo drivers this puzzled me).

I felt that OCCs need to mointer the speed of the drivers in particular. However, i felt SMRT droivers drive at a better speed than SBST, perharps schedule or perharps their own anticipation of BS crowd, traffic conditions, or perharps the better managment of speed by SMRT...

Please try to be a bus captain before you continue your nonsense here.

As they say, be in other people's shoes and experience what they experience before giving further comments.

Then take the earlier bus. You are the usual passenger, I am sure you know which bus can make it on time.

I can understand that drivers have a scheduled timing to meet and whatsoever shit....but the thing is that in certain cases where there is definitely no way to meet the timing and no matter how the bus driver slow down at 30kph at every junction, sure will still be early.

Think about midnight...all the feeder services. I just took sv 83 just now and when the bus was approaching my stop, he deliberately waited for the traffic to turn red but in the end never...it was around 2330hrs.

my point is that no point following timetable at such timings...really no people means no people, why not just go back interchange and just tell whoever is in charge that it's impossible to follow such a planned out timing at such times.

There's 2 way to this issue IMO

For people who are travelling in the bus, it might be a frustrating ride if the BC delibrately stops for traffic light or pulling into the bus stop when there is no alighting or boarding activities.

But to think of it, if BCs were to go ahead of their schedule without any restrictions, there would be also people complaning about the long waiting time in between. I heard from my dad that BCs are not allowed to be more than 5mins ahead of their schedule when they reach the terminating point if not they will risk their bonus being forfeited.

....then why call it a scheduled bus service when there's no schedule to follow becuse no people means no people? think from the pax's view ba. they know the schedule roughly they wait for the bus. it might not seem that they take the bus everyday but they know the bus will arrive at schedule.

if there are some pax then what happens?

If they early more then a certain amount of time they can get statement and probably get their pay dock as they are not perfoming their job to the schedule.

That's why SBST/SMRT is called scheduled bus service operators

If they are so confident about their schedule, then the timesheets should be public - let the public know at least the time the particular bus is due to arrive at the interchange/terminal. IRIS is one option, but there can also be no need to publish complicated timetables - just scribble on a whiteboard like in the TIBS era where the driver's name is hanged on for the trip.

Try being in the shoes of BCs. You cannot expect to be bus racers, driving at 120 km/h. They have the big responsibility to take safety measures for the passengers and drive them to their destination. Sometimes, it's irritating when BCs drive so slow, but it's better than the BCs drive fast and kena accident and many injured.

Take an earlier bus lor.. at least won't late or have slow buses.

Slow buses are onli good for sleeping

haiz...the timesheet is not revealed to the public probably got reason ba. Although the public more or less if they frequent the route they should roughly know the timing themselves after a few trips everyday at the same time.
