Sources from SBST?
But the crowd of 187 is not too packy during AM peak, if you happen to take a rigid. Only bendy is packed. Somemore, the current frequency during the peak keeps 5 to 8 mins. However, need to work out on PM peak's frequency, can wait more than 10 minutes......
Seriously, 902 and 961 frequency also need to be adjusted. The crowds for 902 are mainly from 161/168. If 2 buses reaches WRI, you can see how terrible the queue for 902 is. As for 961, I saw newspaper 2 weeks ago about a commuter complain about waiting time for 961: 20 to 30 mins. If unlucky (bus full packed) he will have to wait for another 'empty' bus.
But for 950, I will have nothing to say as there is another alternative bus services to go JB like: 160, 170, 170X, CW 1, CW2

btw the newspaper said SMRT has bought 9 new buses to service those heavily used routes. really???
IMO I think SMRT cannot max out its Train Frequencies cuz it has reached ttm,
Its time to do some adjustments to our buses

It's still possible for the non peak of peak timing but got a suspicion it's going to be very tied.

Actually the changes are only made in the morning. The rest of the schedule is unchanged.
Basically the S103 downroute from Jln Kayu to Serangoon via Seletar Camp at 0611hrs is scrapped. Means after the first bus 0600hrs downroute, its next trip is at 0627hrs.
The 0648hrs S103 trip is converted to a S103M trip at 0645hrs.
S103 trips at 0707 & 0726 adjusted to 0705 0725 respectively
S103M trips at 0640 & 0806 adjusted to 0631 0811 respectively
That's all.

Bingo. It's still my work this time round, though it's really just an urgent patchwork due to changing demands during AM peak. Not sure if it'll still be me for the next revision....
