I ever waited 12 mins for S911 before at 6pm to Woodlands Centre… The queue was still ok… but along the way, I only saw another 1 S911 at St 13 heading towards the Int… That’s the only 911 bus spotted. So where’s the 4 – 6 mins headways?
This is the evening peak hours…
Dun tell me what school bus jamming up the road grandfather story.. that’s later towards 7pm…
So, just where’s the jam? Is the school bus problem just amplifying or an cause of it?
As for runtime issue… go look at what happened to KMB when they didn’t do the runtime and scheduling properly last year… Which is why you can only have more but not for less…
You should go study the whole area for months before telling me this. Let alone 911, other buses heading to CIQ also have cockup frequency.
And you sure school bus jamming starts around 7? Then explain to me why I often see them lining up when it's around late 5pm to around 6:30pm? Let alone the jam, there's also high loading along Wdl Centre Rd, no fixed traffic light from St13 turning to Town Garden.
Also, during evening peak, there's already like down to 5 911 running for both sides. S201 already converted to 911E, 1 having break. Obviously CIQ side have lesser demands compared to st82/83.
So how can you even expect a 4-6mins frequency when you're towards CIQ? Further more, I don't even know where you get the value. Don't forget the frequency starts from St83/82 side, not CIQ. If you want to blame, you can only blame the tight schedule. By right, 95% of 911's driver are all on time, except for 1-2 whom drive slowly.
Comparing with some SBS Transit service, it's already better.
