13177 Supersonic October 17, 2018 Share October 17, 2018 i dunno who benefit the most. But i can only say last few years, got quite a number of direct intra-estate bus services added. My MIL/FIL can now take the bus to the market/FC on the other side of the housing estate. Only started last year. My sis takes the express private bus service to go CBD from west coast for work. haha she no trust MRT For those express bus services, it is really quite fast and better than taking MRT if there is no heavy or jam on the road. If kana jam on the road, then taking those buses would become a nightmare since most of these buses travelled on expressway most of the time. Lol. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13177 Supersonic October 17, 2018 Share October 17, 2018 The comparison will never end. I have been taking buses recently and indeed I find them comfortable and on time. Check the bus arrival on MyTransport app first. Bus indeed on time if you look at the bus arrival timing shown on MyTransport app. But actual fact some buses are already late if compare with the planned scheduled. Example like the bus suppose to arrives at 5.00pm but bus arrives at 5.07pm. MyTransport app would not show if the bus is late on planned schedule. Having said that, many times we cannot have the full control on bus arriving timing, since there might have heavy traffic or jam along the road which affect the bus arriving timing. This is why i really cannot understand how the buses in Japan can be so accurate and punctual on their bus arriving timing? Their buses dont share the road with other vehicles?

I used to take the premium bus service from punggol to shenton way area. rather fast because the drivers were good in cutting here and there. I won't do that if driving my own car.

But sometimes 7 mins might resulted late for work or appointment le, cause ripple effect ma. Thats why we can never become like Japanese punctuality culture. To them even 1 min is consider late, no such thing as give and take de. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13177 Supersonic October 17, 2018 Share October 17, 2018 I thought recently, they apologised for leaving half a minute too early ? [laugh] To them, being punctual means being on time, neither late nor early so people can plan their time precisely. Who apologised le? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

inlinesix Supersonic October 17, 2018 Share October 17, 2018 They don't need bus bridging services because their bus services are much better,. Their bus network coverage is better than their MTR and almost their fleet are double deckers. The only reason their bus services is better than us is due to MINI BUS. Those double decker you mentioned has sibei long waiting time in far flung places In addition certain mini bus runs 24x7 like causeway bay to Stanley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they are still better than Singapore buses. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
