Observed 2 sv 333 buses bunch at IMM towards Jurong East st 32... already bunch... both empty with <10 pax on board at 08.10am
Also, 2 sv 99 DDs bunch towards Clementi... one had upper deck full.. the one at back had few pax on upper and lower deck... first bus my estimate is around 80-90 pax... next bus around 30-40 pax
As I drove further, saw 2 183 buses towards Clementi... both DDs and both 183 (no 183B)... both had upper deck full and standees.. estimate each has around 90-100 pax. Then a 41 SD turned with no standees on board.
3rd day of service start to bunch already
Service 258: SBS3487K and SBS3491Y bunched together along Upper Jurong Rd towards JooKoon around 140pm..both buses entered JooKoon ITH together and upon parking at parking lot, both BCs walked to the passenger service centre together...

All stuck I guess due to the heavy traffic at Yishun Area all because of the MRT Breakdown.

Hi mr proudtobeme, the only reason I can see is that they got a timing to adhere to and they cannot reach interchange too early. Cheers. Thanks.
3417 and 3512 bunch on sv 47 at Parkway Parade mall. For each, 2-3 pax board bus at Parkway Parade stop. Not sure if it is a good idea to deploy the DDs back to back.

Yup, since intro, sv47 has been bunching, observed ev weekday
On Sundays, 1/2 instances where dd will appear 5/6mins after SD departs M Parade Rd.
DDs on 47 are really a waste at tis stage, when 47 is a support svc for 12,48(Bedok South esp) if LTA wants to have shock n awe tactics for new svc intro, it's wasting tax payers money n polluting e environment.
Same for 117 n feeder 324, 382G/W, 386(SD fleet at too regular a freq)
LTA still NOT LEARNING on how to implement "jump bus"
SBS3069J, SBS8956R, SBS3120T bunched together while on 199 today... spotted at Westville stop around 905am..Front bus SBS8485H was around 10 mins away while SBS3069J was 3 mins behind schedule..
2 buses bunching is normal occurances nowaday with those out of the world fleet additions..Peak hours you may see 4-5 buses at one go too.
Rare for service 925 but:
SMB115M, SMB1467R, SMB214K bunch together at bus stop opp lot one at around 715pm last night (270116)
Due to the jam at BKE, SMB311M, SMB1392Y, SMB1517E, SMB1526D and SMB5070A on 187 all bunched at Choa Chu Kang Road at 12.22pm.
PA7184L bunched with PH6886P while on 307P today. Spotted at opp cck mrt bus stop at around 750am...
187 major bunching... 4 MAN A22s back to back towards Woodlands at around 6pm in Jurong East area.
Surprisingly next bus after 4 buses left was also 05 mins. Spammed too many buses.

Looks like the aftereffects from the oil spillage at BKE yesterday has caused it.
Spotted 4 of svc 854 buses along Hougang Ave 3 today,1 E500,1 OC,2 O405Gs within 2 minutes apart..A case of too many buses.
Saw 3 307E buses bunching together at alighting berth around 7:50pm on 29/1... 107L, 127D and 1 unknown OC
Even Service 82 which has a frequency of 16-20 minutes on Sundays can have bunching. SBS6099C and SBS6235B bunched near Hougang Swimming Complex towards Punggol at 4pm. I waited for 82 in the opposite direction for nearly half an hour before I gave up and took 87x325. To my horror, I saw SBS8434E and an unknown Citaro on 82 bunch behind the bus 325 (SBS6822G)!

One could actually be on 307 but BC changed to 307E early while at junction outside CCK INT... coz normally BCs will change at the alighting berth but sometimes if they are running late they will change as and when they could, such as when waiting for the traffic light outside CCK INT....
187 got horrible bunching issues now. I think the lack of high capacity buses is making them deploy more buses and bunch so that people don't have issue with boarding. But in reality the 2 buses at back have less than 20 pax.

Don't think so... The 3 OCs drove to parking lots together

Then thats crazy already..means another one or two 307s coming the way...coz the 2 split shifts will not have reached at 750pm so early...they are both on the last trip and will arrive only shortly after 8...
854 bunching again along Hougang Ave 2..2 O405Gs,1 E500,1 A24 & 1 OC less than 2 mins apart..So much for 29/30 buses.
