Poor Quality Timetable paper

sbst275 SG

To cut cost by SBST?

As I saw Sv 90 and 145 (Bth were changed dramatically as I saw), the prints are smaller and ink is lighter. Paper is cheaper type

Not really, I saw the timetable on bus 168 , they looked the same as they have been using for a long time.

I care for the BC... It hurts their eye sight. The print is very small if you look at Sv 90 and 145 where dispaching time from Int has adjusted. This also want to cut cost... Tickets, hey 9818, you are still paying by cash? If then, why give such reasons?

Sv 90 (Freq bef)
0600-0900: 7-10 min
0901-1113: 17 min
1133-1453: 20 min
1453-1700: 12-14 min
1700-1900: 7-8 min
1900-2200: 20 min
2200-2330: 30 min

Now
0600-0900: 6-8 min
0901-1113: 17 min
1133-1413: 20 min
1430-1545: 13-14 min
1556-1700: 11-12 min
1700-1900: 1-7 min
1900-2200: 15 min
2200-2330: 15-16 min

Sv 145 (Bef)
Peak (Regardless of any time): 7-10 min
AM Off Peak (Same logic): 8-11 min
PM Off Peak (Same logic): 10-13 min

Now
8-10 min
9-12 min
12-15 min

Be careful, SBS has adjusted almost all the trunk and exp svs timetable (Abt 70%) with longer waiting time.

^tamago^ SG

where u got the news from?

sbst275 SG

If you regulary check SBST e guide site, you will realise that many svs, frequency has changed

Like 53
11-12 min (PM Peak)

82
7-20 min (Full op)

Hey sbst275,Why don't you try working with either one of the transport giants SBS Transit/SMRT Buses and see what you can contribute there about the frequencies,Timecard,Bus deployments or whatsoever that benefits the commuters.Pardon me dude,But seems that i'm getting quite pissed off by your sadistic comments about the way that SBS Transit works.Go ahead give it a try to became one of the mention company staff. Exclamation

service_238 SG

the number one thing i must tell u from the e-guide...

dont believe the freq table. Rely on your gut feeling when waiting for buses.

gynobcard SG

sbst275, u believe a frequency of 1 minute?? even sv 72 and 96 have 2-minute frequencies, which are the best SBST can do. you expect 1 line of sv 90 buses to parade down the route for 1 minute freq huh.

SBS9818A SG

Right. And I'm inclined to believe you. You're just complaining for the sake of complaining. Are you really that free? Goodness me.

sbst275 SG

Yes, Sv 90 timetable is v messy. Buses from PLAB (Like 3720L) sometimes are just behind the ones full trip... Like 1 come at 1630 (Full), 1631 (PLAB), 1642 (Full), 1644 (PLAB) That's why e guide shows 3-11

gynobcard SG

juz because u see 2 buses one after another doesn't necessarily imply that the freq is 1 minute right? i always see 3 or 4 74s or 147s bunched up during the AM peak. does that mean that the freq are 1 minute? u understand the term "bunching" & unpredictable passenger loads / traffic conditions?

sbst275 SG

The frequency that I gave your are not from e guide

I take from my own findings at Int or at the T2 (For loop sv)

I hang out at bus stops

xin1jun2 SG

norman - calms down

i understand poor drivers have to keep to schedule..but i am afriad it is quite real that we as the pax have to wait until mad for bsues to come on SBS and TIBS...frequncies have dropped...reason i can think of is that SBSt got too few bus.

however...in some cases the freq dropp is quite justified as in case of 64..in fact i wish SBSt to stop deploying superbus on 64...the truth is the laods do not justify anymore the DDs or the high freqs.

erm i wish to admit i also got grudges against SBSt buses and freq

but i not wish harm feelings lah....

carbikebus SG

I can understood this one,At least it has some logical rather than to say "as he pleases" gung-ho attitudes! Twisted Evil

sbst275 SG

Why I’m critical of SBS because they cheated me and my friends

carbikebus SG

Then you should confronted them face to face at the HQ Cool

Zilchster SG

Cheated is a strong word to use you know that Razz

I mean...i am sure once in a while we get pissed off with the bus companies...but then again, let's move on with life, yah?

Dun need to use strong words...it's not as though they cheated ur feelings and ur money and left u dry at the wedding altar.
