StadiumDirect: What happened!?
-
I was waiting for the Boon Lay StadiumDirect Bus for an hour and it didn't came. I took 70 to Marina and took NR2 from there home. the only buses which came was only the Bedok and Tampines (2 Buses each, 2 VSOs, 2 VOs) I'm going to complain to SBS for poor service of Stadium Direct Bus Service.

I guess you slacked around the stadium before you decided to go home barh ? If you are one of the few few batches of people going out of the stadium, you should have no problem boarding the stadium direct. The stadium Direct is more or less on a Demand based service. The more demand you have, the more runs the service you will find. If not, usually there will be only 1 run for the night after the event.Originally posted by tintinspartan:I was waiting for the Boon Lay StadiumDirect Bus for an hour and it didn't came.

Only Bedok and Tampines: 2 service buses each. I really hate how they lie.

u must also that they will take several factors into consideration likeOriginally posted by tintinspartan:Only Bedok and Tampines: 2 service buses each. I really hate how they lie.
1. how many people will actually take those services.
dont u realise that most people will actually choose to walk out given the massive jams that is caused by the sudden influx of cars?
2. what makes u think that given that there were 70'000 spectators as per mentioned somewhere above, all 70k will board the services. that must be truly insane! it aint a free shuttle to transport all the 70k to another destination. so even if half of the spectators are driving, do u think the other 35k will board it home? the answer is a definite no. and there is only 4 services to AMK, BDK, TAM and BNL. it cant be that all will only take these 4 services right ? there will be alot alot more whom stay in other parts of singapore.
3. lastly, have u ever considered that there is a limit to the no of buses that can be deployed (parked off service along the roads).
of course, they will be more than willing and opened to suggestions and feedback if all the suggestions here are channelled to CRC. Its evident that they're working on it, even amdep finally gives in in deploying doubledeckers for her stadiumdirect on such a major occasion. of course i do agree that more can be done to further improve it. after saying so much, my main point is that one should direct one's complaints and feedback directly to sbs crc to see the actions being carried out. -
last time i went NDP walked all the way to geylang to take 67 home

I think you have some problems with Maths over here. The Max Capacity for National Stadium is only 55,000. From what i see, it was only 3/4 Full. Talking about SIngapore Indoor Stadium next door, since there was a concert going on, the MAX number of ppl there would at most be 8,000. Again, i doubt that it was filled to the brim of 8,000 people. Do your maths. How could it ever be reached to the number of 70,000 people in that area as claimed by you ? Would you be kind enough to explain. ?Originally posted by tintinspartan:Hello! 70,000 people are there and SBS never think of it. Wha Lao! -
stadium direct is operated based on demand
the buses will lie in wait or the folks to stream out. usually got TI armed with walkie monitors situations on ground. once a huge crowd has gathered at the indoor stadium bus stop other TIs will suddenly have laminated paper like signbaords n start waving etc.
by then some 4 BCs will have driven their first STD buses over. Got Bedok,AMK,BNLand tampines ones. usually they prepare only two buses per service.
the 4 buses will line up at the bus stop and TI will start waving/yelling pp linto right bus using the signs.once a bus is filled to the door and sardine packed. TI will signal driver to move off. (it is possible that both buses were filled up by the time u got there and both went off liao)
incidentally last i took, each STD dir has a SS1 to SS4 service no. printed on ticket
