SMRT Buses on Weekends/Holidays
-
Hi there,Lately i've been notice that most SMRT buses like S61/900/962/966/858 had been crawling especially during Weekends.Did SMRTB revised their timings?Any SMRTB I/C can elaborate on this?

For Sv966, i noticed that they have more deployment on the svc and their frequncy seemed a bit better with the Scania L113 Striders helping out. More BCs are deployed too. Hence, they neednt speed, For this weekend, i spotted a BC on TIB499C happily putting on the back desto @ Parkway Parade as he did not do so previously and TIB584 was only a few mins in front of it.Originally posted by carbikebus:Hi there,Lately i've been notice that most SMRT buses like S61/900/962/966/858 had been crawling especially during Weekends.Did SMRTB revised their timings?Any SMRTB I/C can elaborate on this? -

oh my goodness....have you ever heard of the term metaphor?Originally posted by sinicker:mr carbikebus, u got crawl before?
anyways, svc 61 indeed do crawl on Sundays and also Saturdays too. Usually, it will come as double or triple once it reaches its half leg of the journey.... -
as in.. u drive 34.. got drive slow2? when empty or wad.. along expressway.. road-hogging..Originally posted by carbikebus: -
i am hesitant to believe that SMRT buses would crawl. They are stereotyped as fast speed demons anyway. I feel 61 has problems in traffic conditions. It happens on weekdays as well.
I waited at Sth Bridge Rd and saw three 166 passed...and etc....soon, 3 61 came. All sped their way back to BB Int.
Off topic: SMRT 77 overtook a crawling ffw174e at around 1810hrs...
Fastforward? If that is the case, all SMRT services can be labelled as that
Anyway, 900 probably had its timetable and frequency changed -
I agree on certain terms that SMRT Buses are super fast on Weekdays but not the case for Weekends,SBST?Huh no comments,Speeding nor Crawling still got Pax complains onesOriginally posted by muziq bus:i am hesitant to believe that SMRT buses would crawl.

Sinicker:I don't crawl on expressways,If i had a lot of time i rather do it at normal two/three lanes roads. -
I dare say you may have taken the buses at the wrong places at the wrong times. I've never had any 900 or 962 buses "crawling", especially on weekends when some services may have their total operating fleet reduced. And not to mention those 858 chiongsters.Originally posted by carbikebus:Hi there,Lately i've been notice that most SMRT buses like S61/900/962/966/858 had been crawling especially during Weekends.Did SMRTB revised their timings?Any SMRTB I/C can elaborate on this?
