  back to their parent services as split shifters.

  does not really affect much. the timings for the buses are about the same as before. maybe add one trip at most? and obviously that they do not crossover to CityShopper

  
  PM peak gets better frequency because S551 S577's buses are all T shifts. S575 will have less 1 A/P after PM Peak and 1 extra trip during PM Peak.

  551 is it return back to S27? Cos S27 frequency during peak hours can be like less than a minute.

  after PM peak then no need to say.

  I wait at CGA T1 so long lyk 10 min a bus.Peak hr  is less than 3 min.

  I take before 27(to HGC(hougang ctrl) direction) then in 10 min got 3 buses right?

  Reach Sengkang(just aft the TPE Exit) liao right?

  all 3 buses meet.

  1st bus :Full to the brim
  2nd bus: almost full to the brim
  3rd bus*: very empty.

  that's why 27 frequncy is so messy.

  * the bus i took

  wa, empty buses. reminds me of the article in the today recently that there are empty taxis, contributing to the wastage of fuel and potential revenue.

  what i question is the credibility of this sentence. Sv 36 DOES NOT have a shortage of drivers.

  shortage of drivers = slots with no drivers.

  would like to clarify what is "slots with no drivers"?

  every bus takes up a slot to make up the whole timeframe of the service. it means that for that particular bus theres no driver.

  wic timeframe is there no driver? coz i dun see any shortage in the early morning sv36 runs... If you do stand at the junction of marine parade Rd and still rd south, you will see that by 0720hrs, the sv36 fleet has already appeared and SBS2710Y[1st bus fr CGA to Tomlinson Rd has returned]

  The Sequence from CGA is SBS2710Y, SBS2831G, SBS2833B, SBS2727A,SBS2730P, SBS2617J
  Fr Tomlinson Rd: SBS1986A, SBS2706K, SBS908H, SBS2769D, SBS904T, SBS2726C,SBS2725E ...
