^tamago^ SG actually, i dun find the timetables of express buses like 502 and 518 useful... the buses dun come anywhere near the stipulated times when u ae boarding on the return journey from town. these services stand to benefit the most if they're allowed dynamic scheduling. maybe they want the buses to just go as fast as possible instead of following the timetable closely but end up being slow.
TIB744U SG But whatever it is, SBS2798U. Whoever the DM3500 you are. I dont think you make any sense trying to reply what I replied you.
SBS2798U SG If I want to make any sense, things would turn uglier. And yeah, if your spelling sucks, and you can't use profound words, don't use them.
off_service SG To sum up... "Scheduled timings are subject to traffic conditions. Please be at the bus stop 5 minutes earlier"
^tamago^ SG yesterday... yesterday... 518 came 15 minutes earlier than scheduled time.... but the good thing is i didn't have to wait for that 15 minutes standing at the crowded bus stop at 5pm....
ZYX2005 SG meh SBStransit can easily shift all the s2 B9s and dump them on 7 then say oooo S7 B9 is strt march man. dun speculate. i do wish thy would shift some more of them s2 B9 to 196. 196 B9 density is friggin low. ZYX
brotherchen1982 SG The IRIS ad is pasted above the SBS Transit Board & Bid ad. Below is one of the IRIS ad :How Long To Go? Ask IRIS. Starting from 22 January 2007. Visit www.sbstransit.com.sg for details.IRIS = Real-time Information System, like those on long-hual flights?
chickenlittle2 SG Some svc like svc 179’s time schedule would be in a great mess in the morning. At about 8.20am, u can see more than 3 buses bunching together and passes through. So how to provide real time information correctly?
SBS BUSES LOVER SG hey ! don't forget the buses with empty timeslots ! . & i dont think that 179 can do IRIS during the peak hrs , it can do it aft 7.30PM till Midnight ! . or when it is operating under the special timetable .
stooper SG Yeah! The frequency from 8.15 to 8.35 (and also 9.05 to 9.20) is an average of 1.5mins! So the buses already start bunching at the boarding berth there! It is made even worse by the 180 bendies hogging up the entire place... Even the old TV which displayed the time (which dunno disappear where now) couldn't even clear the bus regoes fast enough. It sometimes skipped a rego because after scrolling through the 4 pages, the time was already over! And also the timing of 179 buses would be highly unpredictable. If the order of buses leaving BNL is A, B, C, D, it might arrive back as D, C, B, A! So the timings of IRIS would keep on jumping up and down as buses are overtaking each other, then overtaking back!
ignoramus2006 SG Was just about to post that! Wonder how accurate it is (must be accurate to at worst +/- 5 mins but not too accurate because we dont know what exact time it is based on)...and how does it generate the info... I want ONE Bus company. Two bus company is sickening, especially when one is living in SMRT territory. Cant experience all these innovations, and vice versa for those living in SBS transit territory, cant experience the SMRT next bus stop displays...
^tamago^ SG pretty accurate, playing with it now with the bus stop downstairs... very fun.... the wonderful thing is the lite version, which will come in useful when u're physically at the bus stop...
