  These svcs have great demand during the morning peak hours to serve Temasek Poly students. Yet they kena fleet reduction of at least one bus. Tat's bad. Though there is free shuttle svc, it wont work out. For Svc 8 b4 SAFRA already full though the freq is gd. Svc 15 b4 reach 1st bus stop in tamp already full. Svc 23 & Svc 69 at 1st or 2nd bus stop aft int already full. Those waiting at SAFRA bus stop (though just 2 bus stops from TP main gate) most of the time is unlucky.
  
  N then now during PM Peak even worse. When u waiting at opp Temasek Poly bus stop towards Ave 2. 2 (or even 3) buses of Svc 69 equals to 1 Svc 23 n Svc 15. Mayb cos of the jam in eunos during peak hrs for Svc 15 & for Svc 23 is at serangoon rd there. Wat can we do?

  some of these students just walk to exit door, grab handrail and continue their chit-chatting with their friends and dont care abt those infront.

  Yeah, since they liek to squeeze then let them squeeze. Morning peak especially 8.45am to 9am it's quite bad, you try waiting at Safra sure no need to board. Even shuttle bus also cannot board. Students resort taking 518, end up that particular lot for 518 always full as students don't want to get booked for late.

   Svc 23 

  I personally Use this bus frequently from Tampines 3 bus stop after interchange to go BoonKeng MRT.

  The main reason for people who cant board at the 3 , 4 bus stop is students just cant be bothered to move upstairs ( like got ghost like that ) 

  Second floor still got place to sit why resort to stand around the staircase?

  In short, buses not fully utilised.  It would be wise to apply the "Please Move to the Rear else your grade will be marked down" campaign

  I am sure not only TP is facing this kind of problems, the rest of the four polys will face this kind of problem and Pri/Sec/JC/ITE/etc. too.

  For RP, TIB1062Y can fill in more info

  For NP, especially during AM peak hours(7+ to 8+am). The Bus stop at Jalan Anak Bt.
  All the bus services(51,62,75 and 184) will come at a go if not need to wait for quite a while before the bus arrives. Most of the bus will be packed especially for Sv 184 and need to squeeze all the way in(BC will ask the passengers to move to the rear) or wait for the next bus to arrive. The shuttle bus is kind of useless also.

  During PM peak hours(5+ to 6+pm), NP bus stop will be flooded with people with most of them taking Sv 74 and 184. Clementi Rd will face jams too.

  For SP and NYP, anyone who studies at there can fill in more info too.

  SP students usually take 74 to/from school. The rest of the services have a handful but not to the extent of overcrowding. No overcrowding throughout my 3 years there. On some occasions 105 and 106 can be quite packed during PM peak because of the Toh Guan/Bt Batok/Clementi crowd going to Orchard. Though SP students are like about 15 pax that is enough to fill up the standing area for a 12m.

  Buses to SP have no problems since they are adequately served by the MRT. Even 185 have its own SP pool of students who stay at Jurong West.
