Take a TransitLink Guide 2009 and 2008 to compare. Think days the frequencygetting worse and worse.Some trunk service going more than 20-24 min after peak hours. Can wait until faint. SMRT better in this case, not much for changes and hardly they got service until 20-24 mins for normal trunk.

So far I compare only 53, 65 and a few other service better than last year, hai....

985 freq improved alot imo. 20-30 mins now become 9-13 or something like that.

however 966 still has a very bad frequency.

Hope the current recruitment drive can improve the frequency ba...

^tamago^ SG

I think it’s generally due to increase in running time.

But SBS worse than SMRT leh, the frequency very jia let can wait until die. Hai, what happened to all this service. I dunno what they doing sia?

SMRT seems to offer BCs off-day duties due to the shortage of drivers to improve frequency of buses.

One SMRT Trunk that needs to be improved is Sv 858, they need more buses to compete with the SBST CGA Services and alot of people are complaining of waiting long for their buses and the queues at all 3 PTBs are long during peak periods untill the passengers waiting outside the SATS Flight Kitchen and the Budget Terminal Bus Stop could not even board Sv 858.

SBS freq very jialat ones are quite a minority like Sv 123. But they're trying to add on buses like wef tml Sv 5 gets fleet addition

Yep because of PTC's 10-minute rule. 5 add 1 S shift, 48 add 2 S shifts and 105 add 1 S shift.

LOL. I waited 45 mins for service 966.

The photo taken by sgbuses at 7pm is shocking enough. Look at service 174......

174 at that time is 19min. One bus whose driver is on OT can say gg for your waiting already.

238 needs some fleet addition.. 2 more would be good..

ngjy22 SG

Hopefully they would add more full day shifts (If required), or else, the waiting time would be like less than 10mins during peak periods, aft all S-Shifts off sv, freq down to 15 - 20.

agreed

even if it means adding 1 or 2 A/P shifts, it would mean a lot in reducing waiting time

2min during peak leh... :o

sbst275 SG
