Any regular takers of 197 here who feels that the frequency of this service is poor? As the frequency can get as long as 15 minutes interval during peak hour...

Apparently in US they have a sign saying 'DO NOT TALK WITH THEM!'

We do not have that, instead we have the 'do not abuse our drivers'

The Simpsons do not have signs, instead they drop these peeps in the middle of nowhere đđđ (if u watched the episode u would know what I mean)

Hi all!

(pls dun ask abt bus routes suggestions and train breakdown as they are too trivial and others cfm will ask imo. Give some harder qns haha) ;)

1) The new signalling system has led to a serious bottleneck along the MRT lines at the same time, commuters are having trouble at times boarding the trains and the doors close too quick on them. Is the system controlled automatically or manually? If possible, can the doors be hold longer to allow commuters board the trains?

2) How in the long run, will you see the BCM in Singapore context? Will it be like in the 70s where there are few bus operators and ended up some merging with one another?

I am concerned about 806 becoming WAB. Does this signal introduction of DDs on 806? Else 806 will fail WAB quota everyday or will be bombarded with A22s which is horrible move.

Maybe temporary deploy 9 A95 & 3 A22 then after a while spam back with those O405Gs that will retire next year,Just nice when SBST takeover.Why you so concerned?SMRT is famous for chut pattern to their WAB feeders mah..See those 912,913 for example.Almost everytime fail WAB but nothing happen.

Last call guys!

Last call guys!

LTA has already visited my friend in another school a few days ago. So be prepared that:

1) LTA will NOT mention the bus system AT ALL during the session. Instead it's more like a career guidance talk.

2) The maximum number of letters for each question (submitted via app.sli) will be 160. So start shortening your questions.

My friend did approach an LTA staff during the tea session. I will post the questions and responses if anyone is interested.

array88 SG

Anyway, here are my questions: (I wanted my friend to help me ask but he didn't)

1. When it comes to bus route planning under BSEP/BCM, is LTA's main consideration about bringing commuters to nearest MRT stations, or offering an alternative mode of transport for long-haul journeys (both towards city and inter-town) besides the MRT?

2. Will there be actions taken (such as route amendments and mergers) to BSEP/BCM new services if their performance is proven to be unsatisfactory months or years after introduction?

BusAnalayzer SG

I would also ask that many routes are very old and hence they duplicate other services and are winding. Is there any plan to rationalise such routes to make them more effective?
