saw at FB that tower transit buses doing the GAG employee bus service. GAG asked TT for help

GA1- GA8

cool. helping out one another

did u see this, carbikebus?

They helped us and next time we also help them.Afterall we're not competitors anymore,We are working for LTA indirectly..Dunno if SBST and SMRT BCs think this way.

Its just the first day of operations for the Pasir Ris side. Give them time. Every handover is different due to the different route profiles, as such, they will need time to learn how to manage the different routes.

Trust me, even if SMRT takes over SBS area, or SBS takes over SMRT area, the two long time operators will still face teething problems on the first few days.

Hi mr sbs351M, it is not issue of handover, etc. Some pasir ris services experience long waiting time of 30 mins and the departure timing shown on the tv screens do not coincide with the actual bus departure times. They experience this at Punggol 2 weeks ago. Since it happens again today, it is super obvious nothing has ever changed. Cheers. Thanks.

help? i dont think its free. i'm sure TT would rather mind its own business if it had a choice.

TIB868X SG

I know its just a temporary measure only cause TT also have excess of BCs.All except one GA EB BC is all out for svc till month end.

if chronic shortage of BC is still occurring with service levels affected, expect what happened when SMRT sacked its striking drivers to happen again.

Hi mr TIB868X, it is not free. Nothing is free in this world. Go Ahead outsourced it to TT for go ahead enployees buses due perhaps to lack of drivers. Cheers. Thanks.

source of GA outsourcing it?

Agreed..Furthermore whatever schedule you proposed still have to go through LTA,Not suka2 go here and there.Pasir Ris/CV/CGA is 80% former SBST BCs and management leh,Not some kucing kurap doing the job.

Since it is 80% former SBST BC, there should not be much problem at all. Schedule Shoukd have been done up long ago. But ppl are complaining that 2 buses depart almost together. So what is the time keeper doing? So LTA approve GA to schedule buses to depart together n allow 30 mins frequency as well?

Further heard that one BC pick up sv358 pax n 5 mins later , ask everyone to alight because he is suppose to drive sv17 not 358.

For Punggol side its all one service per BC although jumping bus still exist in small number,PSR side not too sure because I haven't do any PSR svc yet

BC should look into the timecard.

lemon1974 SG

Hi mr lemon1974, LTA has already made clear 17A start with Go Ahead long time back. 17A first stop will be its current 2nd stop. No more going inside BNDEP. Cheers. Thanks.

now 17A only operate one-directional (from Bedok interchange to Bedok North Ave 4), the return trip, it will operate as sv17 (downroute trip)..

Hi mr carbikebus, schedule change already? Last time you say 19 sep officially start to change to one service per BC for punggol? Cheers. Thanks.

Yes for Punggol,1 service per BC but jump bus still exist which is sucks to be honest.

Hi mr carbikebus, noted and thank you.

Hi mr carbikebus, noted and thank you.

Seriously if no major improvement by end month,I hope either SMRT or TT take over operation better.I am quite frustated too as much as you do.
