Increase in travelling times on buses
-
i dunno whats happening out there but seems that now i spend 1 hr 10 mins from my place to woodlands on s961 and it now takes 47 mins to go yishun on 855
Last time it was 47 mins to woodlands and 42 to yishun.
bus drivers are certainly slowing down for no apparent reason except to keep to crazily slow timsesheets. any comments?
just this morning i took 7345 on 196 that barely went above 30km/h

In the past, 179 weekday rounds at night (after 10.30pm) was scheduled at 22min.
BCs must chiong otherwise confirm late. Now night timing increase to 29min. BC now can slowly drive. -
I had the same problem on 174 Lo3x forgot rego (SBS 908_ _)today...
it was at 30km/h or less at Jurong Rd to BB.
Even the trucks there overtook the DD at Jurong Road.. weird.
Usually, the SBS drivers chiong there -
yes its a worrying trend. as safety starts to become an issue and with the report on madness Delhi buses today... i guess bus speeds will have to slow down a lot here
today the TIB820 on 171 drove me crazy driving 45km/h along the mandai road stretch.

with buses going slower and trains getting even more cramped and packed, people will be pushed to purchasing their own private transportation so they can get around places in comfort and at our preferred speed. well, at least this is the trend in my family.
one car and two motorcycles. not showing off or bragging. honestly, my dad just earns below $2k. it's abt personal comfort. -
That time my 700A it drove at 35-40km/h .Originally posted by ZYX2005:yes its a worrying trend. as safety starts to become an issue and with the report on madness Delhi buses today... i guess bus speeds will have to slow down a lot here

67 night bus and 190 nv is slow before....
67 bus leaving after 2100 from cck to tamp the driver is like rushing home or what.... -
Hmm, took 794A today on service 173, doubled up with 627A (KJ 77) which I didn't take while at CLE Interchange, 794A was three minutes behind schedule while 627A much later, and the BC was mumbling to himself about 627A being slow and he had to catch up whatsoever (heard only, never talked to BC), and when 794A overtook 627A at Toh Tuck Rd, the 627A BC gave
face and 794A BC scolded loudly over the door (cannot even hear), and later 627A passed at high speed at Hillview Ave towards BB, and was about to depart when 794A pulled into the station at 1940, one minute ahead of schedule.
Timesheet where times were taken (shift number confidential) were like 'giam chai' never see any amendments except for 'Diversion to Hume Ave', the last update. -
Taxi and bus driver coperate so we take taxis!
