sv119 is getting a worse frequency than what it was introduced.. starting at 5-10 mins in introduction, its now 10-15 mins per trip, and today, at SKG, can see quite few pax board.. do 119 have more DDs during school days (eg. weekdays)?
-
yup the frequency waiting time now is very long the fastest about 8 mins and the slowest is about 20 mins which I am very pek chek. 119 have 1 DD during from Mon-Fri doing the S-shift abd sometimes on Saturday too doing almost one whole day shift but don't have during sundays. The DD is SBS 9662GOriginally posted by 105090:sv119 is getting a worse frequency than what it was introduced.. starting at 5-10 mins in introduction, its now 10-15 mins per trip, and today, at SKG, can see quite few pax board.. do 119 have more DDs during school days (eg. weekdays)? -

funny, but 119 dont have a proper queue, like 965 and ex501 n 502.. the berths some got no metal rails for the outermost queues.. also, many ppl takes LRT to get to rivervale drive, no need 86 or 119..yesterday saw the DD.. last time 19 got many DDs.. ahh.. the rise and fall..

119 is basically 85 till kovan. SBSt withdrew 85
the outcry from students came.hey we want 85 to go to sch
SBSt shoots back 119.
sad to say the service is mainly for sch children and suffers from low demand. the DD is not worth deploying on 119 and shd be returned to 198
service 119 outght to operate during sch hours only.

There are much more worst bus svs running around and never caught -
For this.. i do not really agree.. 119's load is consider okay in a sense that it is about 3/4 in the evenings/ nightz.. some of the ppl take 147 / 107 / or 153 from work then they alight at Upp Serangoon Rd then transfer to 119.. much more cheaper if they take a bus > NEL > SGKLRT although itz faster, but itz not cheap.. Secondly, like what ive said before.. Bus is alwayz a Top choice if talking about a transport which is more point to point..Originally posted by ZYX2005:119 is basically 85 till kovan.

Maybe shorten last bus to 2200?
-
yeah i agree.. for short distances, bus is faster, with the fact that, commuters need not walk to the MRT station, wait for the train etc. consider this:Originally posted by sBs_boy:For this.. i do not really agree.. 119's load is consider okay in a sense that it is about 3/4 in the evenings/ nightz.. some of the ppl take 147 / 107 / or 153 from work then they alight at Upp Serangoon Rd then transfer to 119.. much more cheaper if they take a bus > NEL > SGKLRT although itz faster, but itz not cheap..

132 from HG ave 2 to AMK station
MRT from AMK to Redhill
132 from Redhill MRT to Bt Merah Interchange.
eventually u take back sv132, and you made some costly transfer in the hope of saving time..
same as what sBs_boy said.. and, how come LRT isnt considered part of the rail network and ppl have to pay seperate fares for it? -
this is because, when they first built the LRT system, it was suppose to act like a Feeder Bus service.. the LRTs are actually considered as another mode of transport instead of part of the rail system...Originally posted by 105090:same as what sBs_boy said.. and, how come LRT isnt considered part of the rail network and ppl have to pay seperate fares for it? -
Talking abt LRT...
Isn't Sengkang East LRT has the best ridership? -
In a sense, YEs..Originally posted by sbst275:Talking abt LRT...
Isn't Sengkang East LRT has the best ridership? -
No sorry It does not have it. The latest one is on 25 Sept 2004 which now can only be found in the bus which have only a few and not in Senkang Interchange at all since which is very long alreadyOriginally posted by SBS9889U:Is there new guides for 119? (2005) -
If they shorten the timing is very troublesome as that time still got people take the bus even though low ridership which is better than don't have at all. I think that on sunday 119 should start operating on 0530 and not 0600 as the at Serangoon Jc that side the first bus would reached there at around 0635( which set of on 0600)and also Sv 136 and the first bus for 80 is around 0640 then how about before 0630 if you want to get to Senkabg Int or your school in the area where 119 and 136 serves must changed bus which is to take to Hougang Int then take whatever service from there. So hope that on sunday the time can be earlier but put a longer frequency can alreadyOriginally posted by SBS9889U:Maybe shorten last bus to 2200? -
Remember the last few months 119 have a lot of SP drivers taking over some of the perm now it is back to normal
-
Today very angry with the service waited for 20 mins for a bus to come at Punggol Rd that side and Kovan Hub that side too. At night it is difficult to wait for the bus but other service also like that. Hope they can improve the frequency to about 10-15mins for non-peak??? and 8-10 mins for peak hours.
-
Not only 119, i think that 112 and 113 and 115 are also quite hard to wait too.
-
Sv 115 the waiting time is very long about 23mins to about 40+mins(for the BC to eat his lunch) which can wait until sleep already. Sv 113 the waiting time is good during the day and peak hours especially waiting time about 5 mins and can see two buses together. 113 during peak hours will specialy deploy bus at Kovan MRT to bring those people back home at their Lor Ah Soo that area so it is good. While 112 waiting time is so long just like 119 sometimes two same services come already then that service come. They should do the same like 113 by deploying bus at Kovan MRT as more people take from there to go home.Originally posted by SBS9889U:Not only 119, i think that 112 and 113 and 115 are also quite hard to wait too. -
