[Locked] Which is your top 5 most disliked bus service & why
-
Not in order.
1) 28. Although it brings me to Bedok, Toa Payoh and many many places, it has an horrible freqeuncy during evening peak! I waited 1 and a half hour for this horrible service. It also takes a long long time to reach Bedok from my house(TP Ave 9). I ever tried at evening peak : My House to Bedok > 1hr 10mins(EWT). And 293/28/29 > 67 takes 15 minutes(EWT) only.
EWT stands for exclue waiting time.2) 966. 2 Words. Freaky frequency.
3) 27. Nice frequency but always human-jammed.
4) 3. Why trunk service must turn here turn there? Let feeder/townlink do the job la. If there's no 34, I need to take an hour from Tampines to Punggol!5) 51.3 words. Shorten this service.

My 3 worst services in no particular order of penalty. I can't think of the other 2 as yet.
1) Svc 97. Direct service from JEC to Vivocity but the bus frequency sucks big time during off-peak hours.
2) Svc 30. A service with lots of looping here and there especially in the Boon Lay area. Imagine you see the bus-interchange in front of your very own eyes but the bus just weave in and out of the minor roads, as if the BC is playing a prank on you.
3) Express 506. Not a very express service. There are a significant number of bus-stops the bus has to commit along its routes.
-
Service 27 lor...
-
Svc 175 - Strolling happily and takes its own sweet time on the roads. Especially on West Coast Highway.

i have 5 services i dislike
1. Service 195. Weird Route and the frequency doesnt meet the standard.
2. Service 185. too much Mercs. plus the frequency isn't that good
3.Service 200. 30 minutes 1 bus. sounds a little weird.
4.Service 186. Frequency doesnt match with the approx arrival time board on the bus stop.
5. Service 145. long route. plus too much Mercs(same for 185) -

I know. 28 was formerly Tampines to Bedok. It merged with 152 to become the current 28 from Bedok to Toa Payoh.3 was formerly 294 and 357. They were merged to form 3. Then extended to Punggol
51 was actually merged with service 192 from Jurong to South Canal.
-
mine only 1, which is service 99. cause sometimes when i want to go back home from school, the longest waiting time is like 1 hour, after 1 hour got 1 bus come but it was filled to the brim... or even bus bunching. occasionally, its frequency has screwed up.

Most Hated Services (By Order)
190
Confirm have to stand. =X
6am to 230pm - Towards New Bridge Road
530pm to 1200am - Towards Choa Chu Kang
960
Sometimes smelly. =X
Bus too crowded with foreign workers on Sunday and Public Holiday Nights
187
Very Crowded during 630am to 900am towards Boon Lay
Very Crowded during 500pm to 830pm towards Woodlands
Too many loops between Woodlands and Boon Lay.
If you take 187 at Boon Lay Interchange at 5pm. Expect yourself to reach Bukit Panjang at 630pm. Commuter turnover damn high. Every single bus stop it stops and half of the commuters board and alight.
963
Takes too long to travel from Woodlands To Harborfront.
Should separate 963 into 2 services.
188
Crowded and you cant board this bus at IMM.
Confirm stand at IMM bus stop from 6pm to 12am towards Choa Chu Kang. -
970
Super horrible frequency, takes longer time between Queenstown area to Upp Bt Timah/Bt Panjang as compared to 961 -
My one ah?
MOST HATED AND HATED FOREVER SERVICES!!!!(not in order, guys)
1)Most of the SMRT bus services.Service is either too long or else it's comfort is not there.Some more worse. Confirm to stand in the middle of the expressway.
2)25. Also my favourite service and i call it 50% hated service. Really.Peak hour is either you get a seat or else stand.I always get the stupid 7447A(get bored with this number)

Of coz not.

i notice some posts..
If you like to take a articular services for long stretches (end-to-end) when theres other alternatives, then u are only dumb.. (51 from HG to Jurong for 2.5 hours?)
sv3, 38 112, 113 also turn here turn thr services.. but they were from feeders.. if u take 112 from HG central to ave 9, thenur really.... dumb.... etc etc
and last time where got bus from tampines to punggol? best option was to change bus at sengkang (sv88)
but 29 rreally must agree la.. why can't it stick to ave 7 all e way.. -
Mine... Got a few.
SBST Sv. ___:
15
Waiting time can vary like mad... It being a long loop service doesn't help!
23
Same as 15
27
Should split into 2 sv. One goes exclusive Tp and other Hgang. Capacity crunch.
31
Morning peak and around 2p.m at Bdok is madness. Other times DD bus can empty one... Schedule has major problems. ITE East after 7a.m got so much people yet still use that (OMG)single-deck Mercz... Walao they mad ah...
34
Also morning peak capacity crunch. 20 min interval for an airport plying bus service? No thanks!
69
Serves TPoly yet poor choice of equipment. Should have full DD instead of mixed single and double deckers. It also serves Tampines Ave 8 which is not very high yielding(Not many . Route should be amended to serve Tampines St 83(higher density) and Ave 3.
72
Critical link between Tp Int and Tampines Ave 9. This stretch is packed to the max during morning and evening peak.
Townlink 291
West loop critically underserved coz of structure of road linkage in Tampines. Lots of people take this service in morning and evening to go to Tp Int. Should deploy DDs on peak periods. Have seen people coz of capacity crunch take sv. 69 instead. Not a good situation, really.
Townlink 293
West loop. Exact same as townlink 291 and route is weird.
SMRT Sv.___:
67
Route is too long and occasional infrequent. Morning and evening peak need higher frequency and more buses between Bedok Reservoir and Bendemeer Road. Short-working service perharps?
969
Occasional infrequent and always jam packed by time bus reaches Yishun Station/Khatib station for Tp Int. Higher frequency with more bendies should be used.
Verdict for the 5 most disliked bus services?
SBST sv. 27, 31, 291, 293
SMRT sv. 67

but 29 rreally must agree la.. why can't it stick to ave 7 all e way..I noe service 3 is from feeders. But in the first place, why they want to merge them. Earn money?
And when did anybody say last time got bus from Tampines to Punggol? -
trust me.
i hate service 3.
without 34..
its gonna take a long time for me to travel from Punggol To Tamp.
and also..
i hate 113.
Got one time, i wanna meet my friend at Lorong Ah Soo (first time)
So my friend told me to take 113 from Hougang.
So i take that bus. and i was like WTF!
this svc turn here and there ..
and it took me almost 45mins to reach my destination.
Damn. SBST should stick to feeder!
SMRT the best (or maybe i should say TIBS). More direct without turning here and there..
Except for some service (that was created by SBS that time like svc 67,61 etc)
-
merge them for better connectivity.. people from ulu parts of tampines can get to ulu parts of pasir ris. both groups of ppl also got links to the north east..
basically, its just a "creating neighbourhood link" service between pasir ris and tampines -
one more thing ah.. SBS no more introducing feeders/ townlinks if u noticed..
-
Sv 80, it will be crowded at most of the times.

hey... you copied my idea but with some changes right??? expect i missed out the services on my topic.................
nvm,
my 3 most disliked bus is
1) 88- it goes round and round and is very crowded
2) 162- it goes around Bishan and AMK when it can just go by a stright route to YCK.
3) 51- so long

Why you all hate sv 3 so much =(
One thing is turn here and there. But you have to see, it was extended to Punggol because maybe they wanted a quick link from Pasir Ris to Punggol. Yes there is sv 34 from Tampines to Punggol, which is much faster. Look at 294, it was duplicating too much of 291's east loop, and 357 which at one time was plying Loyang Ave, so why not combine them to ply both routes since they only have 2 roads separating them? (Loyang Ave and Tampines Ave 7)Ever since 21 was amended to St Michael's, there hasn't been a direct link to Tamp Int from Pasir Ris Int. 21 has crappy frequency, so to distribute the load from Tampines to Pasir Ris a new service had to be born. Actually from Tampines Ave 7 (opp Tamp JC), a sv 3 bus may only be 1 or 2 mins behind a sv 21 bus if they started out at the same time.
I know it's biased =P -

Dont you know that by merging them, they lose money? Now ppl might gain a direct link with the new merger, rather than having to take the two feeders separately.
