The purpose of my so called topic is my view on bus bunching
problem. I know that this problem has been brought up over and over
again similar to some social problems or any environmental
problems.
I wish to highlight the fact that it will be getting worse if no
one does anything about it be it from the transport operator's
perspective, or from the government's perpective.
I apologise if my post seems to be a whining post as perhaps
emotions got the better of me when I was writing my posts.
Alamak,Bus brunching also complain,Bus late also complain.What
gonna happen to Singaporeans nowadays?I rather have 147 brunching
rather than have to wait 35mins per bus.
In my opinion, it depends on the severity of the problem. Let me
give an example, if the freq of 147 is about 6 mins. And only 2
buses bunch using Boon Keng Stn as a landmark, so, the max time I
have to wait will be 12 mins. However, if there is an event like
for example, Mid Autumn Festival, the problem of bus bunching will
worsen and it can get severe up till the point where 6 buses can
bunch together and I have to wait for 36 mins.
If I am rushing for time, I will be annoyed, frustuated, curse and
swear and so on and so forth.
If I am not, maybe I will wait for 30 mins and that's it, bus
hop.
u doubt the effectiveness of it? U imagine the whole fleet of
sv147 chiong at a fast speed. lets sae 10 buses speed.. and can u
imagine the next time freq is at 60 min? Do u want tat? Or u rather
want to have a constant freq in between buses?
I don't mean chiong but at least drive at their normal
speed.
What do you expect them to do ?
- Long Route
- Heavy Demand
- Jams Everywhere
- Pax Wants Good Frequency
With these kinda problem ? Dont blame SBST or what. Question
yourself.. Would YOU be able to do a better job if you were the one
in control. Seriously, sometimes i really wonder what does
Singaporeans wants..
Like what carbikebus had mentioned..
Long Frequency - complaint
Bus Bunching - complaint
What do you guys want the company to do ?
I dun think so as of now if I am the one in control to be
honest.
I don't know what Singaporeans want but what I want is just smooth
freq of buses.
There are 3 things that we can do for every problem.
1. Recognise it, and do something about it.
2. Recognise and continue to whine about it with nothing being
done.
3. Problem is not even recognised and it continues to fester like
some diseases.
As I have said earlier, my thread here is to highlight the bus
bunching problem and the worsening of it. Again, I apologise if my
post here seems to be whining, complains or unreasonable.
I can't solve this problem but at least, I can highlight the
severity of this problem to the authorities and it is up to them
whether they want to do anything about it.
I really hope that BCs can get some breaks after driving a bus
service especially long ones. They are working very hard and
driving a bus alone is certainly not easy.
