Happily1986 5th Gear July 17, 2010 Share July 17, 2010 i think in terms of train operator standards, SBS has become better or the OTHER one has fallen well behind. I thought it was mentioned quite sometimes back that during peak hours, train frequency will be in the region of 2 to 4 minutes? I was at Buona Vista, citybound on the EW line. The information listed time to arrival at 6 minutes but it took a good 10 minutes to arrive. Trains heading towards to city at this timing are at worse sparse with plenty of room to spare. When the train came, i has to squeeze already let alone those commuters further down the line. APPALLING Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily1986 5th Gear July 17, 2010 Share July 17, 2010 to me, sbs=smrt, offspring from same parents,..... haiz, what to do? forehand and backhand is still same hand. Anyway Comfort Delgro and SMRT i heard have more substantial business interest(s) overseas. I think Comfort Delgro has the largest fleet of buses (in the world) based in the UK, i remember reading from an article about 4 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily1986 5th Gear July 17, 2010 Share July 17, 2010 is there anything we can do or suggest to SMRT Get more buses to meet frequency quality standards rather than asking drivers to drive faster to make up for the lack of buses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billyone Neutral Newbie July 18, 2010 Author Share July 18, 2010 what do you mean it is a matter of choice public transport is concerned taxi have so many surcharges that it is worst than going to the casino so left trishaw - out of the question buses and MRT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGCMeekee Neutral Newbie July 18, 2010 Share July 18, 2010 Get more buses to meet frequency quality standards rather than asking drivers to drive faster to make up for the lack of buses. Seems like bus accidents are getting more serious...the crane accident at Bedok.... Could it be due to FT? Train services during off-peak hours...at about 4 pm+....are also getting very crowded....due to long interval of 7-8 mins b/w trains..... Stupid idea of removing seats from the train and yet encouraging people to give up their seats to others......people are forced to be selfish...as there are times....one can be tired after a hard day work.
