Bus waiting times
-
I remember during 6.30, the bus (SBS service 38, Blk 130 stop) would come once evvery 5 minuites. But after that, at 1pm, it would come every 15 minuites! What do you think about YOUR own buses?
Lim wei jie -
haha.. what a nice time to create this topic... I have this to complain/say..
I waited for Svc 238 at the respective times: 1612 and 1852.
The bus only came at least 7-8min later, and both times it's the same bus: SBS 3665 M.
Thanks to this bus that i was late for my various appointments today! I guess the bus is sticking SO CLOSELY to the timesheet that it did not bother to pick up speed whenever needed. I got a feeling this bus left the interchange later than scheduled on the NBDD, which leads to this whole crap. -
Svc 265...
So freaked up wif dis bus svc... irregular time freq... (all times at the bus stop opp Blk 324) from 0530-0630 the freq is 5 mins but from 0630-0700, the approx time arrival is 0638, 0650 and the next bus aft 0650 will be at 0705 or slightly later. After the bus at 0702, students are likely to be late and all buses are crowded between 0630-0705... Afternoon even more pro... for example, svc 265 SBS 3785 H stopping opp Blk 507(os Anderson Sec) and ppl at the bus stop at Blk 507 ended up taking the SBS 3785 H too... and that bus had gone via AMK St 54, Ave 10, St 52, St 54 and end up at tt bus stop... This loop takes abt 20-30 mins and sometimes the freq can be 30mins++... -
All my Bishan services have very long waiting times.
-
Sv 26 - Lousy Frequency, waited up to 20 mins twice...
Sv 29 - OK when you're waiting near Tampines Interchange, but waits averaging 15 mins are quite often further from it...example, I was waiting for a bus towards Tampines, and by the time it arrived, three buses going towards Changi Village had already passed...
Sv 21 - You can wait a while for those sometimes - my wait once took up to 20 mins...
Sv 72 - 15-20 min wait near Hougang Interchange one weekend afternoon when said Sv 72 to have the best frequency out of all of SBS routes!
Those with excellent frequency...
Sv 23 - Great for such a long route...about 10 mins..
Sv 293 - Up to 5-6 of these can pass while waiting for Sv 29...often bunched up though...
Sv 27 - Very good...10 mins waiting time at most...
Sv 15 - Never took, but from observations, quite good...about three of these buses arrived while waiting for Sv 29 near Tampines Library...
Sv 291 - Excellent frequency...
Sv 89 - Very good...waited 10 mins for the next bus, even though one had just left...and saw about 4-5 of these at Pasir Ris towards CACC while riding on one towards Hougang

Sv 39 frequency is on the slow side.
Sv 8 frequency is quite good.
Sv 28 is decent for such a long winding route.
Sv 19 is OK. -
svc 95 ok in the mornings though they deploy 2 to 3 95As for every 95 deployed. frequency sux on saturdays. can wait up to 30 minutes on sat at abt 12pm

13 and 162 frequencies are horrible. Out of my Bishan services Sv. 88 has the best frequency, but it's still quite shitty.Originally posted by service_238:u missed me out!

960, 10 to 15 minutes -
haf had frequent bad experiences waiting for bus 15. during peak hours, its really common to wait like almost 30 mins, only to haf more than one bus come at the same time.
even on sunday, a wait could last for 20 to almost 30 mins. -
Today waited for Sv 2 for about 25 mins outside Eunos Interchange...already 2 Sv 61, Sv 30, Sv 51, Sv 26, Sv 7, and Sv 93 buses already came plus 3 Sv 60 buses....
Sv 28 also was not very good at Toa Payoh Interchange, was nearly 15 mins or more despite bus guide saying max 12 mins...
Guess I was wrong on some of them... -
