  I seriously wonder why some people treat the bus bay as a carpark.

  If I were the driver, first thing I will take down the rego. Then I'll call OCC if the car does not budge even after 10 seconds. It's a violation of traffic rules to be obstructing traffic, especially when you are not supposed to park your car in the first place.

  And to people who think that the bendy can reverse out of the bus bay in such circumstances, they fail physics. Period.

  From my point of view, I do agree that the MRT system is greatly improving but the frequency some bus services seems to be somehow neglated. I do think that SBS Transit and SMRT should do something for its commuters who prefer buses.

  17's demand from Pasir Ris Int is even higher during PM Peak. The SDs usually cannot cope and the DDs look very full.

  
  thing is, always there's longer queue for buses

  179A is a very good example

  V.long time liao even bef 157 amended to serve JW Ave 2...

  Many students from Jln Boon Lay/JW/JE take 157 to schs in JW/JE/Bt Batok/Bt Timah.

  Btw, 174 more crowded than 157 but no ppl complained...

  The problem for most SG drivers,Its not that they are ignorant but their ego is much bigger than their car...Some even enter Interchanges to alight their family members despite the sign

  242 would be full of passengers from jurong west all...
  
  172/199 would be full of passengers from westwood sec & opposite sheng shiong.
  
  their best hope is a double deck 157/199, bendy 172.

  It is just the problem of the route for Service 242. It is like now stopping at every single bus stop.

  Put your photo up to challenge that person who stole and cropped your photo.

  I do agree the frequency for S52 uring PM peak is horrible. Waited about an hour at Clementi MRT for SBS8455U and 2 buses infront of that KUB passed.

  In my opinion, I think the Trains are fine because the authorties seems to be focusing on the trains but some bus services need an overhaul.

  Still wondering how they are going to make fares distance related. Setting up bus gantries at bus stops?
