"Bus arrival timing"TV
-
Do you find them useful,accurate,......?
The one at WRI very funny one
. The arrival time of the service are always earlier than the actual time.E.g the time now is 5pm(also stated on tv) but the arrival time for 911 is 4.55pm
The SBSTransit one is quite good b'cos it tells us the rego of the service -
Also, I noticed another flaw at WRI's TV. The one near the parking lots (exit to Woodlands Ave 3) has different time set compared to the one at the other side (towards Woodlands Ave 7). It's about 5 mins faster.Originally posted by bus911:Do you find them useful,accurate,......?

SBST's timings are pretty good. They seem to be synchronised between interchanges as all the interchanges are about 3 mins slower than my watch.

Most times the buses pull up at boarding berth 3 mins late anyway.Originally posted by Yusry:SBST's timings are pretty good. They seem to be synchronised between interchanges as all the interchanges are about 3 mins slower than my watch. -
Huh? Since when did I talk about the buses being late?Originally posted by SBS9818A:Most times the buses pull up at boarding berth 3 mins late anyway.
I was talking about SBST's CLOCKS BEING 3 MINUTES LATE COMPARED TO MY WATCH. SINCE ALL INTERCHANGES HAVE THEIR TIMES 3 MINUTES SLOWER THAN MINE, THEY SHOULD BE SYNCHRONISED BETWEEN EACH OTHER. -
AMK Int buses reach berths earlier than scheduled timings... some even 10 mins earlier... like svc 138 last time.... then cause buses back to back when reaching Upp Thomson all the way, loop at Zoo and then back to AMK.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Most times the buses pull up at boarding berth 3 mins late anyway. -

Of course I know that. No need for all caps. I'm talking on a tangent here.Originally posted by Yusry:Huh? Since when did I talk about the buses being late?

10 minutes before time displayed on the TV? That's ridiculous!Originally posted by freakybuses:AMK Int buses reach berths earlier than scheduled timings... some even 10 mins earlier... like svc 138 last time.... then cause buses back to back when reaching Upp Thomson all the way, loop at Zoo and then back to AMK. -

Since you are on the tangent, then don't quote my messages. You'll confuse me and others.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Of course I know that. No need for all caps. I'm talking on a tangent here.
Quote only if you are parallel to it. -
Hmm,Lucky not so digression

I do that too. Cos being late or early for school depends a lot on whether one can catch the bus or not. Anyway i have given up on my school's clock system. Teachers use it to their advantage only anyway( not implying that the time is slower )Originally posted by service_238:People clock adjust to school bell u adjust to the tv clock>?
I gave up on TIBS TV display, esp the one at Yishun Interchange. Dun think that SBST buses arrive late on berth, TIBS buses do so frequently too. -

yeah. agree. SBST buses are quite punctual esp for those with long headways (eg 42, 200) so my watch is sync-ed with SBST time. my svc 962 yest arrived a full 8 minutes later than the stated time on the TV. in that case the TV is quite redundant

Another interesting fact, SBST bus clocks, BEXP systems are synchronized with interchange time!

Don't reply on the TV. Service 962 will arrive normally after 2 service 912 buses for daytime and 3 at night. Roughly.Originally posted by gynobcard:yeah. agree.

Normally I just go there and wait. -
I don't rely on TIBS TVs because they don't have rego of the next bus, highly essential when camping for buses.Originally posted by off_service:Don't reply on the TV. Service 962 will arrive normally after 2 service 912 buses for daytime and 3 at night. Roughly.
