When they reduce runtime its very short,Too short until BCs tend to skip bus stops and drive recklessly but when they add runtime,It too long and seriously too long until BCs kena whiplash by pax..Poor BCs only follow schedule also kena screw up for free..Salary only $1950 leh LTA not in UK where Drivers drive less hours,more off days but still earn 3-4k pound sterling per month leh.

Hmm drivers getting very stressful but pay increase by just 200?

If nothing improves, pax thinks $5 per trip not worth; driver got no incentive to join bus co.

SMB1476P 911 :

Ard 12:47pm, board the bus at Blk816. Bus arrive bus bay slowly. DDU shows GREEN | 1:10 behind exact time.

Afterwards, bus layover at the bus stop for a short while, even open door to pick up pax again.

Upon departing, it stops at the T junction, do a slow turn and stop at the traffic light for about 1-3mins. When reaching the next stop, DDU shows GREEN | 0:00 aka punctual. That's about 12:50pm, close to 12:51pm.

So it takes 4-5mins during off peak hours for the bus to travel from one stop to another? ._.

DDU got problem i think...

I was on 81B 308 and DDU showed early. After that the blue thingy suddenly disappeared and it became green???

i ever seen before from orange suddenly turn blue and vice versa... this DDU think not very accurate... sometimes can see on time but yet its orange/blue..

Yeah, seen this happened before as well. Bus was slightly crawling because it was showing blue on the DDU, then after a few minutes I look towards the DDU again it was orange. Definitely something inaccurate in the system.

That's bad...most newbie BC depend on the DDU, probably a reason why the svc is so slow.

Once encountered a situation whereby the mentor told the newbie driver to ignore the DDU timing, but rather practise spacing out from the front bus.

"As long you don't follow the backside of the front bus, that will do(Even if it's a bus stop away)." - mentor

SMB128B SG

yea the seats are too high and gives a weird feeling u kno.. (Or at lest to me) I think the current seats are fine, tho maybe can extend a lil higher for more comfort

Sorry but I feel otherwise... I defo need headrests on bus, easier to sleep and all...

Maybe coz I'm used to the seats on HK buses...

The ddu timing (whr it shows green blue or orange) is quite inaccurate on most buses I've been on. The schedule ( shows Indiv stop timing) is better. Usually I rely on that instead. I've seen horrible colour indicator b4.

Oh yea, I think the colour indicator is more of showing the total time he will be late or Early instead of for one single stop? Sometimes I see bus actual 4mins late but ddu show 0:00 and when reaching up it matches the scheduled time

I was on SBS3461J on 43 in August (when 43 was still under SBST). The bus was 4 mins late (based on schedule), but was still crawling because the DDU showed 4 mins EARLY instead!

SBS3004X SG

Anyway, the GA Buses previously under TT are very smelly. Can anyone explain this?

What smell? Your pang sai?

SBS3004X SG

What smell? Your pang sai?

Just go to Punggol and take one of the 33xx Wrights.

I have also seen a few other pax cover their nose. (They were not sitting near me, if you insist it's pang sai)

SBS3004X SG

I often try to avoid taking these buses. The SG plate buses don't have this same smell, but a different smell.

They forgot to close front door at Bulim so the dogs bake a cake and urine.
