105090 SG the service is quite good.. however, even on 3G GPRS can still be a bit slow sometimes... also, on most occasions, the bus always arrives 3-5 mins later than indicated... even if its off peak hours etc.. and, this service really revealed the true frequency of the services.. example, 159 was 25minutes for next bus at 11am ..
^tamago^ SG actually, the connection doesn't matter, use internet to access mobile iris also get the same speed. the first time u load a svc and bus stop, it needs to take a slightly longer time to locate the buses and return the timings. this can take up to 30 secs at times.... also, when the next bus bus has just left the bus stop, it will take a bit longer as it needs to 'grab' the timing of the bus behind the subsequent bus.
sbst275 SG That's why lor, see next time if they dare to reply to commuters abt ghost buses deployment
service_238 SG This system... so far so good... 1. Braddell Rd (Blk 219) Service: 13 Response: 5 min Actual: 6 min Reason: There was an accident just after the bus stop I was at. Left lane blocked. Only centre and right lanes passable.. Verdict: Pass 2. Toa Payoh Lor 2 (Toa Payoh Stn) Service: 105 Response: 11 min / 20 min Actual: 12 min Reason: Maybe its my watch giving problems. Always come later 1min than the actual time. Verdict: Pass Additional Info: That '20min' bus caught up with the '11min' bus at Napier Rd. Should have did another check just before the earlier bus came at my boarding stop. 3. Orchard Rd (Thai Embassy) Service: 36 Response: 3 min / 17min Actual: N.A Reason: The response was for the bus stop at Tanglin Rd (After Tomlinson Rd) Technically speaking an addition of 4min to my current stop will do.. So take it 21min. 1648hrs - Time of Query 1709hrs - Where is the bus? 1715hrs - Run 2nd query from current bus stop (Response: 2 min / 10 min) 1717hrs - The bus is late by 8 min from my first query. Verdict: Fail. Then again 36 is erratic anyway The bus was already behind schedule and its unusual for this bus to get packed to the brim at 1745hrs at Suntec. The crowd usually get in after 1815hrs. Poor driver.
TIB1062Y SG I noticed some errors for Service 70 and 162 (via Suntec) night bus after 11 plus in the late night. I have attached with the screenshots below: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y242/tib967t/70_IRIS_prob.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y242/tib967t/162_IRIS_prob.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y242/tib967t/162_IRIS_prob_2.jpg Take note of the exact timings that i checked.
SBS1985C SG IRIS cannot accurately predict what time Stadium Direct Bus will arrive. It always give. No Operation Error.
ZYX2005 SG review of IRIS verdict: no verdict reason: no GPRS phone. cannot use IRIS>phone a t home cannot use IRIS, because i check already switch off computer, go downstairs is a diff of 10 mins. so the timing i check must be above 13 mins. doing also tried it on s147 one fine day. the thing show bus arriving, bus arriving, madness improvement suggested: free//...hopefully.... sms system neh? (forced to use bus stop number then) suggest show real time map of bus route with where the buses are along route at current time. suggest show rego on map also. suggest use of next bus stop alert to commuters while travelling on bus new verdict after uselessness USELESS ZYX
gynobcard SG read the IRIS website and you will see that SBST has explicitly stated that IRIS works for all services EXCEPT stadium direct
105090 SG how much is it [er iris request anyone knows: say i use GPRS www.sbstransit.com.sg/mobileiris then theres the space for bus service and bus stop.. the data log on the phone says data sent is 4kb, received is 8kb for the request. so if 1kb cost 1 cent, one request cost 12 cents?
choww SG May not be accurate sometimes Tested(using GPRS) on sv143 @ 4+pm at People's Park Complex. It show that the next bus will arrive at 41 min and sub. at 50 min .But it arrive 5 min later after i tested.
^tamago^ SG services were majorly disrupted this morning and slowly resuming. many services had “no current prediction” or gave timings above 30 mins. looks like maintenance….
^tamago^ SG i actually had 50mins/15mins when testing the system at Central. somemore i'm testing every service and half of them had this error. dunno which line of the code broken giving such results sia. interestingly, somerset mrt bus stop has been working fine all the while though. maybe it is not easily affected by traffic conditions given that it is a straight road for most services coming in from SMU (except 123 and 143).
^tamago^ SG bunching. quite common, and most of time when arriving/arriving is shown, 2 buses turned up together. the worst is having the next bus behind the subsequent bus.
ignoramus2006 SG did they under estimate the number of ppl wanting to use this service since sbs service is so erratic...
^tamago^ SG dunno, but i think is maintenace bah... they just patched it. now, when the bus takes too long to reach from the stop before (like CK Tang -> Heeren & Lucky Plaza -> Orchard Emerald), it will hold on to Arriving or revert back to 2 mins from Arriving previously, but now it jumps to the next bus and ignores the trip. When the bus finally broke thru the traffic to rush to the next stop, it will start showing a trip 30 to 60 minutes later as the next bus when it is supposed to show Arriving, or simply show "no current prediction" until the bus has left the stop, instead of just sticking to "Arriving".
