Crazy Waiting Time for Bus 32
-
yes, there are several Sv96Bs deployed too but SBST should not neglect those at CLE int too.Originally posted by service_238:eh hello u know where the demand is at that time or not? -
oh yeah and speaking about this svc, when i took it this morning, the driver skipped Frankel Ave and turned @ Siglap Road

that is really weird...Originally posted by 105090:this is really "crazy"
Lucky Plaza bus stop at about 6.15pm. Only 14e came between 6.10pm and 6.20pm
I noticed this information panel cant display FFw 14e services (since its the first stop)
i thought the display was faulty...ahaha..
at least 106 was not affected. -
I thought got new order? No more than 10 mins freq else summon?Originally posted by service_238:eh hello u know where the demand is at that time or not? -

When this happens, you should not really trust what is displayed on the board. How did it happen?Originally posted by 105090:this is really "crazy"

Read the following to find out, and you know why such incident happens:

You shouldn't apply this ruling in accordance to what is on the screen.Originally posted by sbst275:I thought got new order? No more than 10 mins freq else summon? -
Well.. during my secondary sch days, I've ever waited 1 hour and 10 mins for Service 105. I believe that to you people, you guys would be running out of patience. Now, bus operators have to make their bus services much efficient, hence we should feel fortunate about it.
Other places having bus frequency of about 1 to 2 hours, so think about it... "Who's waiting longer for one bus?" -
Huh? This is abt Sv 96... Nothing to do w/ the screenOriginally posted by SBS9816E:You shouldn't apply this ruling in accordance to what is on the screen. -
somewhere got jam isit..? if the machine is not faulty 106 frequency is real badOriginally posted by 105090:this is really "crazy"

dunno is it just me or the iris system is getting screwed lately for some services or the frequency really sucks?

96B was introduced because CLE allows alighting activities, before CLE move to its current premises the buses simple go off service from clementi MRT bus stop. Just look at the odds of the people alighting at CLE during pm peak than the people wanting to take the bus from NUS.Originally posted by SBS9889U:yes, there are several Sv96Bs deployed too but SBST should not neglect those at CLE int too.
I personally feel that sbst did a good job on 96, though it can still be better.

As i said, there was really no buses arriving at the Lucky Plaza bus stop for a 20 minutes stretch, except for 14e. the 106 frequency isnt affected i think. I didnt went to check the timings after I took this pic
btw, does these information panel, the SBST services, is it calculated by iris? or another program? -
For information, sv14 frequency is a bit screwed up in the evenings... my bus stop as a gauge is Nicoll Highway [opp Suntec City] 1757hrs sv14, then 1810 hrs sv14, next bus 1830hrs++, the worst time is when the 1757hrs bus is late n comes at 1805hrs where ev1 will just squeeze in... but 3mins later, en empty sv14 comes along... but when i see buses goin to Clementi direction, the frequency is very regular... 7 - 8 mins a bus, most of them are BB/ARBP SP buses, namely SBS9333G, SBS9303T, SBS9403M, SBS9477A.Originally posted by 105090:As i said, there was really no buses arriving at the Lucky Plaza bus stop for a 20 minutes stretch, except for 14e. the 106 frequency isnt affected i think.

Then again, i notice SBS1745D, SBS1748X all missing fr sv32, so sv32 fleet is mayb 11 buses [nt including SBS1989S x-over] with one scania NAC fr BNDEP SP during peak...
-
is it due to high resignation/ job termination rate that led to extra long freq? Its diff to find people to accept such jobs - low pay, extra long hrs, got to wake up esp early and return esp late, do shift wk, get complaints so easily, lots of rules, regulations, restrictions, etc. whereas a private bus driver got less such problems.

dont forget the scania NACs can replace them... or maybe other aircon SP buses...Originally posted by Acx1688:Then again, i notice SBS1745D, SBS1748X all missing fr sv32, so sv32 fleet is mayb 11 buses [nt including SBS1989S x-over] with one scania NAC fr BNDEP SP during peak... -
The 10 minutes apply to the demands,Traffic condition of the services during peak hours.Service like 11,35 also must 10 mins meh?
-
Bus wait so long, so many people, bus filled with inconsiderate pigs, no aircon, drive so slow...sigh...

Yes precisely , its time for government to increase the pay for Public Buses to be the same at private buses so that there will be enough bus drivers for public buses as well as private buses.Originally posted by SBS3688Y:is it due to high resignation/ job termination rate that led to extra long freq?

On the other hand , private buses are at very good demand for drivers as they can be driven home & public buses can only park at their depots , Singapore has only 8-9 depots & take in thousands of buses somemore , after the BC park their buses at the depot , they have to take public transport or provide their own transport back home , which is more troublesome (eg . if a BC stays at Bukit Panjang , but he drives his bus back to Kranji Depot & he have to take & transfer bus or ride motorbike for a long distance , but if public buses can park at public car / heavy vehicle park , he can always ask SMRT to buy season parking ticket for he heavy vehicle park around Bt Panjang area so as to save time for BC to get home.
Hence if public buses are allowed to park at heavy vehicle / big carparks or even good salary like the private buses , i believe there will be enough drivers as nowadays people are asking for convienience.
1 more thing , although it may sound like i'm answering SEQ for SS , is there is far too many rules set by PTC is far too much! Stupid rules like students wearing school uniform must produce their student pass to pay concession , such rules often led to conflict & arguments between commters & drivers. Just imagine how hectic it is to be a BC for public buses -
80% of basic svs... If SBS has 220 basic svs, only 44 can be excludedOriginally posted by carbikebus:The 10 minutes apply to the demands,Traffic condition of the services during peak hours.Service like 11,35 also must 10 mins meh?
Maybe they can be Sv 5, 11, 29, 32, 34, 35, 39, 40, 42, 43, 45, 48, 52, 57, 58, 59, 66, 73, 76, 79, 85, 103, 109, 115, 119, 123, 124, 125, 132, 136, 138, 139, 155, 158, 160, 162, 163, 181, 182, 186, 191, 194, 200, 251... Oops at this rate is going to exceed liao -
132,162 shouldn't be excluded. 162 demands varying. if this 10 mins is included for 162, best. empty bus! but sometimes can be alot, so 162 shouldn't be excluded, even if the bus is empty. as for 132, needless to say also, this bus should be included. instead i find 165 is a better one to exclude. also maybe 133?Originally posted by sbst275:80% of basic svs...

Services 5 and 59 shouldn't be excluded too. They have an express sector on PIE and the demand is there. I recently saw a DD 59 too. There are better services to use the 20% on.Originally posted by sbst275:80% of basic svs... If SBS has 220 basic svs, only 44 can be excluded
