For a long time, travelling to and fro between Bouna Vista and East Coast has never been easy. Finally the bus service 48 appears, indeed it shorten down the travelling time, but hell the waiting time is long. I have never want to complain but it has been bothering me too long.
For couple of occassion, after my work, I would wait for Bus 48 at Marine Parade Central between 6.45 to 7.15pm, but I have to wait for more than 35mins for the bus to arrive.
Imagine if I waited the bus 48 at 7.15pm, it came at 7.50pm, that is too long a waiting time, cos buses such as 196 and 36 came and go for at least 3 times, the inconvienent is 196 takes a bit of travelling time, max at least 10mins to reach destination and 36 would require me to change bus or MRT, but these two buses requires higher fare.
My normal travelling and waiting time before 48 is around average 58 mins now because of 48 it goes up to 88mins and it suppose to be a shorter distance.
What I do not understand is the start point is somewhere at east coast and it takes so long for them to schedule the departure time for this bus 48.
Of course, one more thing is that with the new fare, the frequency of me taking this bus has a narrow seating space, which is I dun understand and I am not tall at 1.68m but my knee cap has to be adjusted to suit the length between the seat (of course, I only seat at the back rows of the bus).
I just want to complain, nothing else!!!
