Anyway here is our suggestions for Punggol Svc.

Svc 3:14 SDs 5 DDs

Svc 3M:Punggol Int to Pasir Ris St 71/Elias Rd and loop back..Freq of 22 mins per bus during off peak hours and 16 mins during peak hours.

Svc 34:16 SDs

Svc 43:Full 21 DDs and 4 SDs and 2 DDs for 43M.

Svc 62:17 DDs and 3 SDs.

Svc 82:6 SDs and 2 DDs.

Svc 83:9 SDs

Svc 84:2 during weekdays and 3 for weekends.

Svc 85:7 SDs and 7 DDs enough.

Svc 118:Full 16 DDs.

Svc 119:9 SDs

Svc 136:15 SDs 3 DDs.

carbikebus SG

Svc 382G:3 buses and 382W:4 buses.

Svc 386:6 buses.

Pasir Ris side Svc 12 need full DDs.15 need to convert 2 S to AP..E518 need add one more DD duty..

SBS5010P SG

Jialat 84 and 136 no show for 1 trip each

Svc 85:7 SDs and 7 DDs enough.

Svc 118:Full 16 DDs.

Svc 119:9 SDs

Svc 136:15 SDs 3 DDs.

3 should be 12 DDs, 8 SDs.

No need too many DDs,Short distance travellers not interested to go up,They only want a good frequencies.

carbikebus SG

Jialat 84 and 136 no show for 1 trip each

84 standard la,Even during SBST time also how many trips never moved.

So far i've been observing go-ahead services.Yes mrdupdup77, i do agree with your point. However, i found it to be more frequent than SBST. However, i waited up to 18mins for 382G yesterday, was disappointed to find out that only 1 bus was running 382G, but 3 on 382W??

i just don't like how go-ahead is making its drivers switch bus routes throughout the day, it causes confusion especially when driving 382G>382W? Sometimes will go wrong route. I felt they could have sticked to SBST's style, one-two routes per day for drivers.

Hi mr sbs5010P, you did not see the full picture. Service 34, 62, 136, 386 all missing buses. Service 3, 62, 83, 386 all bunched. Cheers. Thanks.

Punggol people, you can take the LRT if your regular bus service fails, so shut the f**k up.

Pasir Ris people, I'm sorry. Perhaps the only way is to leave house earlier, or ride bicycle to MRT. Take care.

This remark is not needed really

Hi mr gekpohboy, if you are not happy, you can leave the forum. Moreover, you have said you wanted to leave so many times and why are you still here? Please leave and do not create a scene here. Don't know still want to act clever. Cannot stand such people. LRT never reaches every single resident home area still want to tell people to shut up?

Even Go Ahead Singapore has the courtesy to admit that they are looking into matters inside Facebook page. Who is this gekpohboy to tell us to shut up? Haha.

carbikebus SG

He is lonely la,No cxxk sucking business for days that's why..

sv 12 is doing okay. Where do you really see that Citaros cannot tank the load? Most buses have loading of 50-60 pax. But sv 12 is notorious of getting delayed and bunched. Hence, sometimes a sv 12 can get around 80 pax.

There was the part of Bedok South Road to Tanah Merah that usually would get 80 pax but now you have 47 to alleviate the load as well, as well as erstwhile 38.

Very long never login here, so I'm amazed by the bullshit I see going on when I do login.

If you mean packed to the door like sardines = can tank the load, sure. the Citaros on Sv 12 can manage with your definition. After all, they're still on Sv 12 after so many months since they kicked the KUBs out. Right?

I suggest you go re-take the entire Sv 12 on different days of the week again before you post anything related to Sv 12. Your observations & whatever numbers you cook up with (or if you disagree that you're plucking the numbers out of thin air, then the numbers you post here), are seriously flawed in reality.

Getting delayed & bunching and 1 Citaro cannot tanking the load are 2 separate issues. Even if delays don't occur (which tbh more bunching occur than delays nowadays), the Citaros would still struggle at certain sectors of the route & on certain timings / days of the week (& nope, not just your usual AM+PM Peak+Weekdays situation)

You should try taking from the Bugis area during PM Peak on Weekdays and on weekends. (but this isn't a very accurate sector to observe because usually they will pull extra DDs from other svcs on Weekends just to cater to this sector)

Or from Opp Tampines East CC to Simei + Expo. (Don't tell me there's Sv 38 & Sv 9 to alleviate the load to go to Simei MRT / Expo / Tanah Merah MRT or vice versa, there's a reason why alot of people rather wait for Sv 12 (& Sv 9 when it's not alr packed with all the SATS Cargo people) to skip the detour that Sv 9 & 38 does around Simei area just to go to Expo / Tanah Merah)

Or anywhere from Katong area onwards back to PSR during Weekends & PM Peak

I look forward to your reply once you have done your observations. (& when i do login again)

No need too many DDs,Short distance travellers not interested to go up,They only want a good frequencies.

Exactly like you said. The DDs on Sv 225G & Sv 225W are a pretty good example. Alot of times the pax that do go to the upper deck are "indirectly forced" to go up, not because they really want to.

As for Sv 222 & 291, i think the pax on those svcs think abit differently though because alot of them will just chiong the upper deck when the DDs do come. Or maybe that's because the pax are also more used to the greater proportion of DDs on those svcs compared to Sv 225)

carbikebus SG

Today my damm friend say svc 136 next bus is 30 mins when suddenly 12 mins later the bus came and my reply to him was "Seriously,Do you wait for 40 mins or just by looking at your damm app or bus arrival time at bus stops?Do you know what is Ghost bus?The one with out DDU log in?Suddenly pop up anytime?

SBS 9631X SG

Truth be told, whenever I look at the arrival frequencies for some of the recent GA svcs (from the mobile apps & those monitors at the bus stops), it's a little bit scary (so I kinda can understand why your friend replied that way haha). But yeah, alittle while more and suddenly a bus appears out of nowhere.
