Complaint #2: TIB 0848 D (WLDEP 961)
[b]Leaky roofs plus buses arriving late and
full
FOR some reason, the roofs of service 75 buses seem to drip even
when it is not raining. On Dec 10, I boarded 848 D and the dripping
was so bad, the magazine I was reading tore right through.
Also, on every working day for the past four weeks, many of us have
waited more than 25 minutes for service 75 (from Marina Bay to Choa
Chu Kang) at the bus stop before Outram MRT station.
When the bus arrives at around 8.20pm, it is always packed and
often the driver has to tell us to wait for the next bus.
And after waiting for another 25 minutes, the next bus is also
full.
I was told the delay is as a result of Marina-bound buses being
caught in traffic jams along Grange and Outram roads.
This seems to make no sense as services 196 and 167, which run on
more or less the same route, keep to their schedule.
If the delay is truly because of Grange-Outram jams, surely the
answer is to 'leave' some buses at the Marina terminal.
Such poor service makes it really hard not to want to drive to
work.
Two fare increases ago, the bus companies promised an improvement
in their services. Clearly, there has been no improvement,
especially with regard to service 75.
Could the Public Transport Council please look into this
matter?

Seriously writer stands no chance
He owns himself... Sv 167 and 196 dun even serve Grange Rd..
somemore it's Marina bound, if 1 direction is affected the other
direction would also be affected and the poor BC got to forfeit his
break
Many ppl dun even understand
