Mind if you post the service number that you take.. From what i see.. What makes ppl "UnHappy" in here is that you only experience on a particular service and you thinks that every other service out there is like that. Oh Boy! Most of the time.. It isnt the case.. In fact most of the services (or Rather the Buses) i took around Singapore are generally fast (unless you are comparing with our Neighbours). Yes.. I do agree that Freq for certain services had drop from the past till now.. Just an advice for you.. Never assume anything which you are unaware of.. Assumption is the Mother of all failures..Originally posted by buses_galore:Hi guy I know that some of you share this same agony with me that sbs buses are generally alot slower than their SMRT counterparts.right?I posted such a topic before but there were alot of angry sbst lovers who told me to go take a cab if I am in rush.The problem here is that I am only 13 and am in Sec 2 I cannot be taking cab everyday too and fro to school right?It is such an agony to sit in the bus as it creep along the road at 30KPH and you see those cyclist whose bike has an electric motor zoom by wah lao it is damn frustrating leh.Just to give you an idea how far I stay from my school the cab fare is about $8 to get to school.And I must change bus not to say the waiting times also suck, but not as bad as some SMRT services.When you complain SBS will just say they will look into the matter and you will see no improvement.Wonder if there is anyone above SBS like LTA or what to complain to?
Please do not be offended SBST lovers

I should think its half-half. But point is this, try to extrapoliate estimated travel-time a little more to prevent avoidable worries of being late.Originally posted by sBs_boy:Mind if you post the service number that you take..

Hmm, lets do some research. but most BC do tend drive slower for safety reasons. I got a friend whose dad is a BC at SMRT. I see if i can check with her?Originally posted by tanjun:If I am not wrong, in SBST website, they do explain why the BC is driving so slowly.
unfortunately this lapse in service has spread to many servicesOriginally posted by sBs_boy:Mind if you post the service number that you take.. From what i see..
