Everytime like that one I that time told them that a service I waited for very long about 20 mins but the waiting time should be around 10mins and they give lously reply like traffic jams and actions taken aganist bus driver but this like do not happen to me but maybe and this event still happen once in a while and was so angry. But never mind I know they are trying to meet the standars but quite difficult. So it is hard on them maybe. I am also a bus fan too!!!!

One of the main reasons for long waiting time during peak hours:

For example, four buses are depart about 5 minutes interval and to reach a popular bus stop at 6.05, 6.10, 6.15 & 6.20 pm respectively.

The bus captains will leave terminal a few minutes earlier than the schedule time, driving faster and aviod stop at bus stops by hiding right behind the bus in front so commuters can't see the bus number.

So the first three almost empty buses are arrived almost at the sme time before 6.05 pm of the popular bus stop before large crowd of commuters arrive at the bus stop, so most of the commuters can only catch the forth bus, which is overload with peak hour crowd and arrive onlymuch later after the scheduled 6.30 pm.

So the same thing happens again & again, before 6.05 pm, many empty buses and you can see two or three same number buses arried at the same time, 6.05 to 6.30 pm very few buses, after 6.30 pm, very crowded buses arrived.

This is daily cat & mouse game and the bus captains always win and another typical example of Singapore services.
