old people taking their own sweet time to board and alight the bus,
anyway, schedule tables are only "for show" to show they are systematic, -

If people grow older, their reaction is much slower than your normal reactions.Originally posted by Edgar_Davids:old people taking their own sweet time to board and alight the bus,

That'll mean SMRT.Originally posted by Edgar_Davids:old people taking their own sweet time to board and alight the bus,

The rushers.
SBST, they'll just want to keep 3 - 5 min ahead of schedule. So they can rest in Int for about 2 min before driving again, or clean up bus, have a bit of water. -
When the Uni reopens, you'll see the queue stretch all the way from 179, round the corner to 199 in the morning peak even though it's 1 min frequency!Originally posted by brotherchen1982:Image NTU students Q-up from fromer 199 berth to Boon Lay MRT Stn bef 179 was introduced.
The 6 DDs in the "convoy" I saw included 4 LOs and 2 VOs, all from 179! And once all 6 had passed the traffic light, I could see the next LO coming!
From the Weekday 28 to Weekday 29 timetable, they have made it worse for 179...
The evening peak is now increased from 35min to 37min even though most drivers can finish under 25min!
Let's see what Weekday 30 will be when the uni reopens! -

No Offense but.... even their ffw services are rather slow....
174e drivers needs more improvement...too slow.. 77 can speed all the way and usually reach Orchard at around the same time.... so its a waste of money to take 174e... and im speaking from experience.... happened quite a few times..... but sometimes its faster than 77 by 10 mins... -
Very true!

last time when i wanted to take a bus from Marymount Rd to Bt.Timah Rd, i could choose between SBST 74 and SMRT 852. (Majority of 852s use UK Lances) Usually I would take 852 if the 2 buses arrived together...about 80% of the chance the 852 would overtake the 74...
Whereas when u take a 74 with no 852 in sight, there is about a 20-25% chance you will be overtaken from some 852.
Sometimes too fast isn't good...I tried SMRT 67 bendys, sitting right at the back...the bus went so fast that it shook a lot and I felt nauseous.. -

not only those long distance svcs.... even 106 along Holland Rd at night....too bouncy...plus, the bus was crowded!!...but its really a nice experience. Tests your endurance.Originally posted by brotherchen1982:U got try taking 180 bendys and those svcs that use expressway bef?? -
How About some NR6s that sped through tight and narrow roads ??Originally posted by brotherchen1982:U got try taking 180 bendys and those svcs that use expressway bef??

SMRT BC damn daring one not scare everytime speed one

thats the way it should be. TIBS drivers good. SBS drivers slow.
fast forward services suck
196e 14e 10e no point taking. 89e seems not too bad and 174e is better if u take 77
same for 502. take train better
