177: This service has no proper schedule. The SL would take a 2 mins break at BPJ before heading back to Bt Batok.
I've noticed at 1 stretch, headways can be as long as 30 mins.
Sure or not? Last time I worked at MINDEF, the buses arrive quite accurately (+- 1 minute) Its only when spare SLs are driving then the timing will be off. Is the 30 min headway the last bus, cos I notice the last trip tend to arrive late.

because your timing is fixedbut in bet, from wat I noticed is aft 1730 where problems starts to arrive.
You can be standing at the Blk 185A bus stop seeing 1x 177 heading to BPJ... Wait wait wait, it'll only appear when e 2nd 177 heads to BPJ
The 3rd 177 could end up meet at MINDEF HQ while en-route to BBT.
Likely e actual run time has a part on tis... Full journey at 1745 from Bt Batok could take 28 mins to complete. Not much to mention how long it can take to get to BBT.
Yes 30 mins headways usually occurs for last bus. The last bus on some days could depart BPJ @ 1840.

No timesheet being found on 187/911E and 901/902/969 buses.

My timing isn't fixed, cos there will always be duties, meetings that drag, extra work to complete etc. and the buses will tend to arrive at about the same time everyday. But that's in 2009. Maybe the situation deteriorated after the depot swap.

Now I know how come there's brunching on 925 riao
AM peak 177's run time allocation is 24 mins
-
suddenly remember
1st afternoon bus of 177 never departs at 1640 de... often at 1648
-
Sv 177's am peak
last bus can't even depart on time. Found to be 0845, prev trip departed at 0833.
Sv 925's schedule did not take Kranji Rd's traffic situation into consideration
-
Tis morning's Express 506 ride
Bus arr my waiting bus stop on time.
Even though PIE had some slower speed areas (Stevens Rd, Clementi Rd, Clementi Ave 6 exit pts), bus still arrived BBT Ind Est 2 mins ahead of schedule
170's schedule swee la... but can't be said for 160.
-
so e iris for 160 & 170 isn't accurate after all
esp it cannot track e buses in bet JB CIQ & WDL CIQ well
-
Mystery of just how come there's 30 mins headway on 177 is solved
The buses are macham supposed to loop at Bt Panjang. But the run time given is too tight esp aft 1730.
-
Sv 10 another headache. At evening peak, the frequency of bus leaving Kent Ridge can reach 20-30 min.
The bus just sit at the ter doing nothing.

Still the same.10 is one of the most erratic service.
Especially those starting from Kent Ridge.
-
e loading at KRT does no help
-
Exactly.
Everytime theres nothing but complaints about 10 being unreliable.
Some will just walk to take 143, 188, but what if there's rain?
-
Am I right to point out these problematic SBS Svs
10, 21, 30, 72, 143, 151, 156 (tis one headways ultra long)
-
147 another one. Getting worse over the years.
74 also getting worse, but not as bad.
-
Sv 83 turns out to be another one
-
This morning i observe S61,67,854 and 966
61 surprisingly good this morning between 0815-0900,An average of 7 mins per bus and 4 bendies.67 siao liao,Sims Ave(Opp Eunos MRT) 3 mins per bus 2OCs,1 O405,1 Volgren merc then after 7 mis came 2 bendies brunching,854 as usual above average,So many bendies,966 from Marine Parade at one time 13 mins then behind bus only a few minutes apart then came 1 CAC about 8 mins later...
-
Sv 83's taiji not too sure if it's related to the 2 trip :1 break form up.
Because the bus would never appear on time at SKG.

For those S Shift SLs who will start their 1st trip of duty from WRI after 5pm are very hard to get their buses at WLDEP as some of the perm or spare buses are still in maintenance or what. So, must wait until about 5.30pm like that and will end up either downroute from somewhere else or start from the other direction so as to meet the time schedule. Unsure about AMDEP and KJDEP though.
And I can still spot some of SLs driving the bus to the depot from the interchange at the same time (5 to 6pm like that during peak hours). Don't know why.....

Maintainence cannot take that long what, atmost about 4 days to get things done and also the attitude of the mechanics itself.

Sv 178
Think managed to dig out where the brunching at pm off peak comes from - downroutes.
Somewhat Sv 178 can get 30 mins freq on certain days. That's when they simply just do downroutes towards BNL from KRJ Stn.
-
Sv 172
Dunno is there anything at CCK side. Oftenly can see brunching of Sv 172 towards CCK be it peak or off peak even at Jln Bahar.
