Today SBST and TIBS worked together to create mayhem for those
going to Bt Timah area and Ngee Ann Poly, and to make things worse,
or as a poor excuse maybe, it was drizzling.
I couldn't catch TIB1009C on 852, so I hopped over and took TIB933R
on svc 851 instead to AMK. At AMK, crowds waited for 10 minutes
before a bursting VO 3 AX on 74 came along, but the driver did not
open the doors and drew off. And then there came another 10 minute
wait and then came SBS9385G on 74, which I managed to force my way
to get on it. According to a normal schedule, there should be
between 1 to 2 VO 2-AX to help relieve the load, but it isn't here
today.
What's more, there should be a DAF with the power 98 ad about 15
minutes after the TIB1009C ( according to TIBS, its 10 minutes
freq., but I learnt from experience that they always lie), but even
after waiting 20 minutes, there wasn't one at all! Even as I
alighted, I also saw no indication of the DAF.
