  what I meant was not for a solution to purchase more buses, but a better change in the drivers.
  
  See our bus 74. No one ever complains when 3 buses are bunched up together because the bus comes ever so frequently. I'm talking about buses which has comes at a less frequent rate. Having more buses do increase costs significantly, but how about getting the drivers to drive with more attention to time? Not much I guess
  
  

  i morning at school when sing national anthem can see abt 5 bus of 74 come...can b VO 3-axles, 2-axles, B10M MKIV strider or DM. and my classmates or even schmates complain 156 sometimes wait till 40min then come leh

  Singapore buses have speed limiter. There, average speeds for buses are about 70 km/h up to a max of 120km/h on Autobahns.
  
  Side note: Yesterday, SBS886L (BN 39) sped up to 90 km/h. Even more was that it was a lady driver.

  Autobahns also have traffic jams and road maintenance. Hence, buses do not travel up to that speed on most cases.

  This is the reason that PAP always give. Since they are the monopoly, how would you know if someone else will not be able to come out with better ideas? With so many complains and suggestions around, SBS is pretty slow in acknowledging and implementing them.
  
  For the TV, inventing such a device is not the job of SBS; it's whether it is useful with the technology being so new and unstable... although I agree with the point above that it is mediacorp who wants to increase their advertising space.
