I ever see 856 headways in reality is 5 mins during PM peak... Some ppl say it's very frequent.. but in reality, there's no 5 mins scheduled freq... same old thing... you've to take note in between what goes on..
Nope, but as far as seen from my rides, they arrive 2-3mins after the scheduled time. That's rather common. AMK side always add 1-3mins from the arrival time for the bus to arrive at the berth.
Woodlands Interchange also like that in reality. AFAIK, 856 buses often layover at empty berths[Usually berth1 area], hardly enter bus park. There's also time where it park at Berth6.
Currently, Woodlands Int doesn't deploy drivers to assist the queue unless it's really terrible, it's getting lesser. Infact, "jams" inside Wdl Int only occurs when driver simply drop passengers beside another bus, blocking the other bus from moving.
Infact, I wouldn't call it a "jam". Because the most only take less than a minute to clear, not hogging up for more than a minute[when it happens]. Plus, it's not really an everyday scene.
