No improvements in Singapore's public transport
-
Have improvements lah.
Now MRTs come with announcements on which side the doors are opening.
And if that is not enough, the sign on top of the doors will show you which side it is opening.
And if that is still not enough, the electronic signboard will point you whether the doors open on the left or right.
If you still don't know which side of the door is opening despite all this help, then I got nothing to say liao.

you have nightriders and taxis. 24 hours not really feasible if you factor in the passenger load at 3am for most routes in Singapore

And buses are mandating to WAB, the route planning is by government, 10 mins frequency for buses etc. If there's no improvements we'd be in a backwards country by now.

Anyway, If compared to the past, there are improvements to public transport be it bus/train/taxis. Of course there are room for improvements but nothing is perfect

Guys, peace please. Be it bus, train, bike or even bicycle, it's still a mode of transport in Singapore.
Relax, enjoy the breeze and cool down.
Cheers.

Well, it isn't really feasible to operate trunk services at 1am to 5.30am then continue the regular services from 6am to 12am. There's little to no passenger loads at most areas.
i guess that's why NRs/NightOwl buses all charge premium fare to cap the cost of operating public buses in the early morning so as not to pass on the cost to the others who didn't take NR/Nightowls.

U may post whatever you want or even protest to make your voices heard, but you can't force everyone to develop that same mentality of yours. I am not saying your opinion is wrong, but it's wrong to think that you are always logical and hoping everyone will agree and follow in your footsteps.

NR/Nightowls IMHO are not profitable to both SMRT and SBST, except that they just dun wanna announce.

- U still hang on hopes our public bus will improve?
You must be still dreaming. Replace car as an alternative? This is even more hilarious.
Go get a motorbike and realise yr own personal transport freedom.
Fact : Some people do not wish to have/do not have their personal transport hence they rely on public transport. And yes to some even if they do own car, they hope that public transport, including buses can be their alternative to cars! For example they can take a bus for the day to save on their petrol cost, or not wanting to find a parking space in a full parking lot in the peak hours for the day. My mum always rely on buses as her mode of transport around Singapore because she st does not own a car/bike. That is why LTA is mandating improvements to the public transport.
- Why cannot huh? I find it so funny people can take taking bus as an hobby. And think Sg bus like heaven. Hahaha.. It's a joke man. In singapore, public bus is a even a greater joke!
Precisely, it u bus enthusiatic that makes SBS and Tibs do a great job since they can attract people taking bus as an hobby.
Every hobby and interest is genuine, be it cars, bus, trains, planes, watching tv shows, playing computer games and more. And you're really making a fool out of yourself already with what you posted......

Dear Sir,
It has been almost 2 years since the master plan in improving our Singapore's public transport has been announced to the general public. Since then, I have been looking forward to the day that our buses can indeed be our real alternative to a car. Last year April, based on a feedback I have given to the PTC, they assured me that by June last year (email dated 14th April 2008), the average frequency of the buses will be 12mins and by August this year, it will be 10 mins during the peak season.
I have been overseas the last one year and has got back to Singapore a few months back, looking forward to the changes that our public transport has undergone.
Nevertheless, I am in for a surprise this month alone when I took public buses to my destination. It seems to be in the same state as it was 2 years back, or even 10 years ago.
Take for example when I was on my way to work via bus service 55 on the 4th June (Thursday). Having boarded the bus at 7.50pm, it arrived at my destination at 8.55pm. The normal travelling time is 45mins but it took 1 hour 5mins on this day. It resulted in me being late for work and have to receive a penalty for being late.
On another occasion today, I checked out Iris next bus in ensuring that the waiting time at bus stop is kept to a minimal. It indicated that the next bus will be arriving at 6.14pm. I got to the bus stop at 6.10pm and started waiting. It finally arrived at 6.32pm, with a waiting time of 22mins. I have to cancel my appointment in the evening as a result.
With Singapore buses being one of the main transportation backbone in moving people around Singapore, it is hardly reliable for us to put our trust in it.
Please allow me to also share my disappointment with Singapore's public transport in our local online forums. Hopefully it will gather enough attention for our citizens to decide whether should further action be done to ensure quality and checks on our buses are in place. The penalty fine of a few thousands each quarter hardly deter bus operators at all. On the other hard, it makes the governance of our public transport a laughing stock.
With the looming H1N1 threat, can we afford public transportation to be overly congested? Do we want to increase the stress of living in Singapore with bad public transportation? We are currently promoting Singapore to be a city of the future and to attract people from around the world to live here. I heard that elections maybe coming soon and there maybe job rotation in the Transport Minister position. But please do ensure that the objectives which was set out 2 years ago are met. Public transportation is what millions of commuters in Singapore has to undertake each day.Explain to me

just my opinion..
true, bike is ur own personal vehicle so u can get to anywhere wif it. but spare a thought for others who can't afford a vehicle. if everyone drives their own vehicles, there'll be congestion everywhere. i'll rather my guy to be sum1 who is familiar wif using e public transport (e.g bus hopping in getting to desired places) instead of some dumbass who knows nth and take me to e wrong places all e time.

i can bet with u that almost 30% of bus fans have gf / wife. You paid for a costly bike, haha u dumbass u owe the bank $$$ while for us we take public transport everyday we pay cheap and we still get to our destination that we want and also we spend on more things that we want while you the dumbass who owe the bank $$$ have to spend wisely and thrifty.
