Marina Centre area not that bad. It's the Orchard area jam that really stinks.

Scared to take trunk services out of interchanges after 7pm... esp those with >1h15min trip time. The frequency can be very cranky... its like from 6-10min then suddenly drop to 16-18min -_-
65 143 are some services excluded due to full day buses outnumbering the split shifts by.... 85%?

I am getting reports of prevalent flooding over at the Western area of Singapore.
My friend just said Bukit Timah Road just flooded up. Expect large delays for the next 2 hours.

There is a traffic junction near Woodlands Primary School, the one where 912 turns right to the next busstop. A alot of soil from the grasses came out, causing alot to went on to the road.

Yalorh. Sibei super epic phail.
Cars at Blk 50 Carpark, 40cm water, cars partially submerged liao. Blk 50 classrooms on the first floor all under water. You should have seen "Mount Ngee Ann" when it was pouring... It was like a waterfall...
Ngee Ann Poly bus stop was chaos from 3p.m to 5p.m, prolly becoz some classrooms were flooded and classes were cancelled. Then somemore more and more people want to take the quick way back to the North(Bishan, AMK), then they go take 74... I was like super facepalm by then. I took the long way back to the East, going North first instead( -> WDL -> TAM ) of taking 74/151/154 which I expected it to be jammed up.

i think is PIE gt accident. Cause if Bt Timah gt flood it wont affect 506 since it is using PIE. -
Actually the worst case scenario is when you see Clementi Rd - the little 'valley' between the NP bus stop and the terrace houses next to SIM being completely flooded...
That's epic win.

Many digging along Bt Timah Corridor.
Circle/Downtown Line, Deep Tunnel Sewage System, ...

spotted SBS8907H off service (wants to do downroute to BV, starting from blk 536 bus-stop) along jw ave 1 from corporation road (service 99 route) around 7.40am with SERVICE 186 EDS !!! (St Michael)
After the bus pass by blk 536 bus-stop, BC switch to 185 =.=. sian, i miss 185 for nothing... people at blk 536 bus-stop had a rude shock, wondering HAHA
-
till to this day, even on 190 I've never seen the 2nd carriage of the bendies ever packed. Tat's why 190 though demand so high it never kena w/ PTC's 95% QoS cos ppl dun even move in.
so what go buy a vehicle tat does not maximise road space usage?

Today i was waiting at the bus stop below my house(jur east ave 1,blk 229)when a speeding 98(unidentified)had to stop suddenly then someone rushed to the bus stop when previously no one was there.the driver turned left and the fun part:
3 left tires went onto the grass near the pavement,the driver turned right,slamming a "works ahead"sign,before coming to a stop.
and it's a double decker.

it got new font since few days ago -
Today was on 8022K on 51.
Bus captain was weird though. Drove with the rear door open, and also accidentally switched off the lights for a moment. (It was at night). Might have mistaken the light switch for the door. LOL
