  the longest i've waited.. 25 min
  bus service 31, always due to heavy traffic in katong area. sometimes after a long wait, 3 buses show up at the bus stop at the same time.

  The longest time I've waited for any bus in my life is Service 12, which happened in November 2003. That was a whopping 45 minutes wait for a bus.
  
  Cheers and warm regards

  I won't mind to wait for 10minutes, however at times the wait can be up to 20minutes even for TIBS 106. And the worst for TIBS 106 and TIBS 61 was 45 minutes, and the buses didn't even arrive. For TIBS 106 is due to the jams at Somerset on Christmas Eve, For TIBS 61 is the big flood at Eunos recently.
  
  Yes I saw the picture on Straits Times where bus commuters came down the bus and help to push the long bendy bus!!!! But to push a long bendy bus is different from pushing a car even you have 20 people. The long bendy bus was formed up by 2 connected pieces, and some were seen pushing the tail and some pushing at the head.

  10 mins wait is common. Waited about 13 mins for Sv. 88 just now when the frequency is supposed to be 6-9 mins.

  Blame the traffic on the TPE for that.

  Oh man.
  
  Try beating my record.
  
  In secondary school, I once waited for service 33 for almost an hour! Following which THREE buses came at once.
  
  And just recently only, I waited more than half an hour for the same service, only to see two buses come together.

  Actually I think a 10-minute wait is rather reasonable, provided that the frequency doesn't stray too much e.g. more than 3 minutes.

  10 minutes is quite all right. If it's 20 mins I may begin complaining.

  I don't even want to mention how long I waited on the rainy Eve of Chinese New Year for 179.
