tbh i would prefer if 128 plied 190's routing rather than the present route today which it's loading and freq is poor

Agree. All I am saying is sv 190 frequency and capacity has been beefed up in a good way. I keep pulling shots at SMRT for lousy operations on 172/187/851/857. But in this case, SMRT has taken serious steps to improve sv 190 and it is visible.
So a job well done. Expecting it to improve its other services at a faster pace now. Cheers!
yes i agree totally! The 4 services that u mentioned really needs to improve!

Those 4 service need DDs to solve most of their overcrowding problems

Bus was full. This was followed by an unknowm MANA22 which has 3-4 standees when it left Somerset MRT stop. Surely by Scotts road, all 3 buses must have been packed to door.

190 is a very popular service bro,Almost everytime get crowded..Connect from North to CBD faster as train and no suprised why they change the SD last bus slot to DD.

TIB1190K(912),SMB278B(912E),TIB1141C(912E) bunch up this morning causing me late for school plus I still need transfer to 913/964/904
This is not the first time neither it would be the last time 912 had bus bunching/long frequency.There was once I even saw 4 912 buses coming together.
As the place it stay also has 962,I can choose to board 962 as well but I feel that 962 has not improved even under BSRF
If you stand at Woodlands Regional Bus Interchange every morning you will see drivers honking at other drivers as the bendies are blocking the way.I my self like bendies but there are just way too many bendies.For example 169 and 964 has Enviro 500 put there are still bendies and if 2 or 3 come together i will for say block other buses like 904 example.

It is a "permament" bunching at that point of time.. But SMB278B (966S156) was rather late today as it departed Woodlands at 0648 - 3 minutes later than scheduled, while TIB997G (912S201) did not perform 912 this morning (likely there is an insufficient manpower for today, unluckily)
SMB1605J (961S158) & TIB1185B (912AM06) & TIB1190K (912AM58) will always bunch together, followed by TIB997G (912S201), SMB278B (966S156) & TIB1141C (912AM03), SMB315C (966S157), TIB1146P (912AM07).
In my opinion, you got to deal with the fact that 904 berth is located at the wrong place (as WRI has space constraints, which is why LTA does not want to launch any more new services plying WRI).. TIB999B (900AP01) will usually use the berth to pick up passengers, while TIB1161U (960AM51) picks up its passengers on 901. (At that point of time when you board?) You may want to seek for alternative routes such as 913E so as to reach your school on time..
My opinions :) -

My opinions :)so whats best is to deal with it and hopefully when Temporary Interchange opens things can be better.Anyway the bus bunching happened at around 7am this morning

The old WRI might get an extra berth and parking lots too and dont forget that Woodlands North ITH.
