Service 43: Waiting time too long

blowfish SG

What the schedule like for bus 43... cos everytime i can ( am 1 of them) see people waiting for more than 20 min to 30 min for the bus near buangkok mrt and starts to grumble...

There is bus 27 at the same bus stop and many times bus 27 passed by at least 3-4 times no.43 still nowhere to be seen.....

Should i write to them to comment?

Yes, u should..

20-30 min, Yes you should.

If its below 20 but above 15, no you shouldn't - because that's the stipulated frequency they have stated.

You should write to inform them and tell them the time occurrence, hwever, if it occured during CNY period, you should save your breath coz it's on CNY schedule with reduced buses... i know coz i took the buses during the 1st n 2nd day CNY

Sv 27 has good frequency does not mean Sv 43 must have.... frequency is based on loading. There is no point sending buses every 5 minutes if they are all empty. :(

Yup, especially on the Volvo MK3s.

I give up on bus long time ago.

Rise fare, unpredictable waiting time and stupid service.

If distance is not too long. I will cycle. If too long, will cycle to MRT and take MRT.

Problem solve.

Depend on yrself rather than depend on others.....

u take the bus what time?

I give up on bus long time ago.

i, however, give up on train rides to school.

if board from tampines to west, no seats. nvm, i take to pasir ris 1st.

if sit down, then socially wrong. coz' i'm young and healthy and the ah ma/ah gong somehow always needs the seat more. i'm not gonna spend 2hrs per day standing in the train.

U think I really care by stomp? I don't even bother to visit that website anymore. Visiting it will only degrade myself as more and more rubbish are post there.

What my concern is time and punctuality. I was sabo many time by f**king SBS bus. Come out very early, end up reach there too early and waste my sleep time. Come out just nice, end up bloody late and scold by others.

There is no such thing called exact time to come out for wait for yr bus. U either late or damm early cos the service sucks and is too UNPREDICTABLE.

Only the MRT/bicycle combo serve me well. I can gauge my time very well without too much wastage of time!

I will only take bus, If i have bloody plenty of time.

sengkang to marine parade you can take the shuttle service on weekends. 62 also goes to paya lebar..

if not, 43, 70 and 76 actually runs parallel from YCK to Paya Lebar..

altho freq is very long, the buses' loads looked reasonable..
