Lousy Sv 26 frequency...
-
Today I decided to go to Toa Payoh, and decided to use the Sv 23/26 combo instead of the direct Sv 8 service. Well we got out of Tampines Interchange at the same time as a Sv 8 bus, so I said great, lets see if I can beat that bus to Toa Payoh.
Got off at Bendemeer Road (Blk 54) and waited. Two Sv 31 buses passed. So did two Sv 107 buses. 2 Sv 61 buses. 1 Sv 23 bus. About 2-3 other TIBS buses came. So did about 4-5 SBS buses of other numbers. Finally Sv 26 came....nearly 20 mins of waiting. Needless to say, the Sv 8 bus was already there when I got off at Toa Payoh.
It was also like that last time. I was at Bendemeer Road waiting for a ride to Bedok. I waited for ages, dual or triple of other bus services had already came. I gave up and decided to hop on the next Sv 31 bus. Finally Sv 26 came, thankfully before the Sv 31 did or my ride home would be slower...
I think the next time I go to TPY id take Sv 8 or do a Sv 23/Sv 8 combo... -
yes sometimes wait9ng for a bus service cna be a killer.
i love 197 frequency. ooooh 16 mins per bus in peak hours. love it.

Service 26 revised its weekday frequency on 9th Feb 2004. I also find service 26 freq is getting longer. hence my 23/26 combo may become 23/61/31 23/107/31 or even 23/853/31 combo.

Yes, but the Sv 31 that goes on Bendemeer is going towards Tampines...and my familarity with the area is zero, dont want to get lost going across to Serangoon Rd...and maybe if I manage to find my way there, Sv 26 already comeOriginally posted by tranquilice:He means service 31 to Toa Payoh.

Get yourself familiarized then, or just take a direct bus! It's not as if there are no buses.Originally posted by leeJZ:Yes, but the Sv 31 that goes on Bendemeer is going towards Tampines...and my familarity with the area is zero, dont want to get lost going across to Serangoon Rd...and maybe if I manage to find my way there, Sv 26 already come -
Ya next time I just take Sv 8...not too bad anyway....took it on the return, about 50 mins to Tampines Ave 2 where I change bus...Originally posted by SBS9818A:Get yourself familiarized then, or just take a direct bus! It's not as if there are no buses.
