Their reply would be "we don't care".Originally posted by iamgoondu:Perhaps PTC should enforce all bus companies to come out with a system to ensure they are able to handle unexpected jams.
Rather than asking bus companies to maintain a 24h bus directory phone service, what's more important would be a system to ensure buses won't be stuck in jams. -
if they vow to be a world class transporter, they should and they must implement such system.
What is more important to commuters? A 24 h phone directory service or a jam proof system? -
Jam proof system. Besides both SBST and TIBS didnt reach the PTC's requirement of a 24-hr phone service. Instead they have 24-hr e-guide. lolz...Originally posted by iamgoondu:What is more important to commuters? A 24 h phone directory service or a jam proof system?
Even my beloved Svc 238 has time allowances
The drivers have the ability to complete each trip before 28 min. -
Yes, they have TOO MUCH time allowance so they go SLOWER, especially on Sv. 93 and Sv. 103Originally posted by service_238:Jam proof system. Besides both SBST and TIBS didnt reach the PTC's requirement of a 24-hr phone service. Instead they have 24-hr e-guide. lolz...

Yes, why insists on SBST and TIBS to implement a 24h guide??? I really didn't see the need of such a service. It only jack up their operating expense.Originally posted by service_238:Jam proof system. Besides both SBST and TIBS didnt reach the PTC's requirement of a 24-hr phone service.

What if you have been waited for 35 minutes, and they tell you the headway of TIBS106 is 12mins? Would you get more fumes???
THe phone service should be for bus captains to update the road conditions to their bus companies. And bus companies should have someone to take tough decision if they would continue to allow their bus services to be stuck in jams. -
Jam at Somerset Road are pretty common these days especially on weekends afternoon.
Jam at Somerset Road is partly due to the fact that it lead to Orchard Turn and to carparks in Takashimaya.
And all buses travelling along Somerset Road are turning left to a 2 lanes Orchard Turn, and head for Orchard Boulevard.
To alleviate the jams, and to have a smoother traffic, perhaps bus companies should consider having the buses to make an earlier turn at Grange Road and head straight to ORchard Boulevard, on a Weekend afternoon.
While working in a company, we have a quality circle to improve our operations effectiveness. The jams in Somerset Roads have been existed for a long long time, and since we know the root, why won't the authorities take actions and lessen the impact from the jams?
Still I insist on PTC to take actions to have a jam proof bus systems. -
And their answer again, "TOO BAD, it doesn't concern us". PTC works hand-in-hand with SBST and TIBS to do what the transport companies want, not caring about what the layman wants.Originally posted by iamgoondu:Jam at Somerset Road are pretty common these days especially on weekends afternoon.

By making earlier turn at Grange Road (better still Kiliney Road), the skipping or scrapping of the bus stop at Orchard Link (near Takashimaya) may not affect many people. And it would alleviate the jams in Somerset Road. (Though the main contributors were traffics from Killiney and Grange Roads turning into Somerset Road.)
There are many buses skip at the busstop along Eu Tong Sen Road (Outside NEL Chinatown Station). Once you miss the busstop at Pearl Centre, the next bus stop would be 756m away.
Traffic at Eu Tong Sen is much lighter than Somerset Road, why staggered stops at not implemented in bus stops along Somerset Road?
Perhaps the busstops out Somerset stations should be restricted only to TIBS buses. -

One incident I want to share with u guys are abot a few year back on service 99 at Clementi Int.
At that time service 99 was still partial AC. The bus used was those Leyland AN68 and VO superbuses. That time service 99 superbus were very new, using 9250L to 9259M. using first hand buses that wasn't used on any other service B4.
So everyone was very eager to catch any of the superbus rather than the AN68 with was ver logkok.
one thing to disappoint service 99 communter was the bus timing and which type of buses that came out from the Int.
For example, the next bus departing time that display at Int with the Time, and bus no(Reg licence plate).
If it display a superbus licence plate at the screen , it came out a Leyland AN68. If it display a AN68 licence plate at the screen, it came out a Superbus.
Don't you think it is very funny and strange. People queueing at the berth hoping it is the correct bus(Superbus) but disappoint them with a AN68.
Secondly, why didn't TIBS display the rego at the INt TV screen rather than it destination?
If Tibs display it rego at the screen then we can know whether is it a Bendy or normal 12M bus. That better right, for those who want a ride on a bendy bus. -

Is there any other service or Int happen B4 other than Service 99 -
They want you to just board any bus that come along.Originally posted by PT21:
