"Bus arrival timing"TV

bus911 SG

Do you find them useful,accurate,......?

The one at WRI very funny one Rolling Eyes . The arrival time of the service are always earlier than the actual time.E.g the time now is 5pm(also stated on tv) but the arrival time for 911 is 4.55pm

The SBSTransit one is quite good b'cos it tells us the rego of the service

Also, I noticed another flaw at WRI's TV. The one near the parking lots (exit to Woodlands Ave 3) has different time set compared to the one at the other side (towards Woodlands Ave 7). It's about 5 mins faster.

SBST’s timings are pretty good. They seem to be synchronised between interchanges as all the interchanges are about 3 mins slower than my watch.

Most times the buses pull up at boarding berth 3 mins late anyway.

Yusry SG

Huh? Since when did I talk about the buses being late?

I was talking about SBST's CLOCKS BEING 3 MINUTES LATE COMPARED TO MY WATCH. SINCE ALL INTERCHANGES HAVE THEIR TIMES 3 MINUTES SLOWER THAN MINE, THEY SHOULD BE SYNCHRONISED BETWEEN EACH OTHER.

AMK Int buses reach berths earlier than scheduled timings... some even 10 mins earlier... like svc 138 last time.... then cause buses back to back when reaching Upp Thomson all the way, loop at Zoo and then back to AMK.

Of course I know that. No need for all caps. I'm talking on a tangent here.

SBS9818A SG

10 minutes before time displayed on the TV? That's ridiculous!

Yo Yo Yo Guys,Cut it out for the sake of this forum Sad

Yusry SG

Since you are on the tangent, then don't quote my messages. You'll confuse me and others.

Quote only if you are parallel to it.

People clock adjust to school bell u adjust to the tv clock>? Rolling Eyes Very Happy

I do that too. Cos being late or early for school depends a lot on whether one can catch the bus or not. Anyway i have given up on my school's clock system. Teachers use it to their advantage only anyway( not implying that the time is slower )

I gave up on TIBS TV display, esp the one at Yishun Interchange. Dun think that SBST buses arrive late on berth, TIBS buses do so frequently too.

yeah. agree. SBST buses are quite punctual esp for those with long headways (eg 42, 200) so my watch is sync-ed with SBST time. my svc 962 yest arrived a full 8 minutes later than the stated time on the TV. in that case the TV is quite redundant

SBS9818A SG

Another interesting fact, SBST bus clocks, BEXP systems are synchronized with interchange time!

off_service SG

Don't reply on the TV. Service 962 will arrive normally after 2 service 912 buses for daytime and 3 at night. Roughly.

Normally I just go there and wait.

I don't rely on TIBS TVs because they don't have rego of the next bus, highly essential when camping for buses.
