Complain about this bus driver
-
Saw the bus in a distance, and ran towards it. Manage to stand at the doorway in time, but the &^%*% bus driver close the door. He look at me, then look away and drive off!! Can't believe it man! How inconsiderate!
Time of incident: 10.28PM
Place: Tampines Interchange
Bus No.: 72 -
Tell you something.. itz common for 72.. 72 freq is less than 10mins.. so.. you could alwayz wait for the next bus.. 72 have one of the highest demand in Tampines Int.. everytime, the loading time at the berth could easily drag to 4-5mins (which i experience before) thus making the driver late.. so.. if youre waiting for 72.. i suggest you to wait for the next bus if you've missed the earlier bus..
-
yup, when a 72 just abt to move off, the next 72 BC is already walking up to his bus.

only applies for Peak Period (0700-0900; 1700-1900 weekdays), sv72 can be frequent as 5 minutes
other times, such as sundays, 15-20minutes is normal. -
Sundays frequency is not bad, max 10 minutes frequency also. Usually the bus driver waits for pax to board the bus for 6 minutes, so no choice after that but to drive off or else he cannot catch up with the timings on the timesheet.Originally posted by 105090:only applies for Peak Period (0700-0900; 1700-1900 weekdays), sv72 can be frequent as 5 minutes

Where is there such a sv standard? If SBS were to run bus sv like what you said, Corp Comm will receive complains everydayOriginally posted by sBs_boy:Tell you something.. itz common for 72.. 72 freq is less than 10mins.. so.. you could alwayz wait for the next bus.. 72 have one of the highest demand in Tampines Int.. everytime, the loading time at the berth could easily drag to 4-5mins (which i experience before) thus making the driver late.. so.. if youre waiting for 72.. i suggest you to wait for the next bus if you've missed the earlier bus.. -
I agree ... Hey chillz88 ... have you taken down the bus rego?Originally posted by sbst275:Where is there such a sv standard? If SBS were to run bus sv like what you said, Corp Comm will receive complains everyday -
Yap.. quite agree... There was once.. it was during the Christmas period.. when my 72 LO was at the Junction waiting to turn out, i saw another 72 picking up passengers at the berth already..Originally posted by sinicker:yup, when a 72 just abt to move off, the next 72 BC is already walking up to his bus. -
No reason for buses to move off even when BC can't meet his timeOriginally posted by striderz_o405:Sundays frequency is not bad, max 10 minutes frequency also.

Because if SBS does not response to buses brunching or arriving the other terminal early, it goes to show that there are poor planning -
Then SMRT can be far worse.
-
i noticed some bus drivers nowadays are quite mean larrr.
they just like heck care mai chap then drive off,what the hell lar,
must stop complaining abt these bus drivers le.
i noticed that bus 165 uncles can be quite dao too

maybe there already is a 39 or 292 waiting behind. chillz88 needs to give us more details.Originally posted by sbst275:No reason for buses to move off even when BC can't meet his time

By right, if this is the case, they have to do something with regards to the departure time to prevent all svs calling the berth to get stucked... Though this is a sticky issueOriginally posted by sinicker:maybe there already is a 39 or 292 waiting behind. chillz88 needs to give us more details. -
Agree. but u cant say the same for Townlink svc. They come anytime u dun expect it toOriginally posted by sbst275:By right, if this is the case, they have to do something with regards to the departure time to prevent all svs calling the berth to get stucked... Though this is a sticky issue -
maybe a berth like dat of 811?

Exactly do you want to stop complaining or not?Originally posted by merciwaves92:i noticed some bus drivers nowadays are quite mean larrr.

I know JE Int BCs not like that one. Some CLE ones also. -
yup it is difficult. boarding for 72 may take abt 4-5 mins. we cant sacrifice 39/292's boarding times for the sake of 72. if 72 is picking up passengers and either 39 or 292 is waiting behind, die liao. alighting berth traffic jam.Originally posted by sbst275:By right, if this is the case, they have to do something with regards to the departure time to prevent all svs calling the berth to get stucked...

how is 811 berth like?Originally posted by SBS9828X:maybe a berth like dat of 811? -
berth simillar to that at TAM but only for 1 serviceOriginally posted by sinicker:how is 811 berth like? -
not bad lah that side... the 67/969 sides are worse of. Wen a bendy picks pax, die lahOriginally posted by sinicker:yup it is difficult. boarding for 72 may take abt 4-5 mins. we cant sacrifice 39/292's boarding times for the sake of 72. if 72 is picking up passengers and either 39 or 292 is waiting behind, die liao. alighting berth traffic jam. -
hahaha.. yeah.. some BC stop the bendies a bit to the front. and this is when the non-queueing passengers strike to get on the bus first!Originally posted by SBS9828X:not bad lah that side... the 67/969 sides are worse of. Wen a bendy picks pax, die lah

The frequency at TAMP Int is good, but by the time the svc reaches HG, you can tear your hair out waiting. Worse would be from YCK Int.Originally posted by sBs_boy:Tell you something.. itz common for 72.. 72 freq is less than 10mins.. so.. you could alwayz wait for the next bus.. 72 have one of the highest demand in Tampines Int.. everytime, the loading time at the berth could easily drag to 4-5mins (which i experience before) thus making the driver late.. so.. if youre waiting for 72.. i suggest you to wait for the next bus if you've missed the earlier bus.. -
Jam between at Tampines Rd aft Hougang Ave 1 junction during peak hrs, traffic lights change very fastOriginally posted by SBS1908B:The frequency at TAMP Int is good, but by the time the svc reaches HG, you can tear your hair out waiting. Worse would be from YCK Int.
& 72 has to filter from left to right to turn into Hougang Ave 3.

The jam sometimes can be very bad.......
A lot of cars want to turn from Hougang Ave 3 to Upper Serangoon Rd so 72 may take up a lot of time turning that part
