My view on SBS Transit and SMRT services which have been reported with much bunching up incidents:
I think 190 and 961 are okay... Not as much bunching up as before. Must say SMRT is improving the frequency manangement for both services... However, 851 still have bunching up sometimes, which is quite normal and there is somehow better control on the frequency now... For SBS Transit, 160 and 170 frequency is worst, very irregular due to WDL checkpoint... 51 is okay, now lesser chances of bunching up, despite the frequency.
851's deployment has to do with the Bendy and OC departing within a few minutes of each other at the terminating due to passenger loading....
Will be solved when WAB bendy/DDs come in -
Damn crowded.

Will be solved when WAB bendy/DDs come in851 is very useful when MRT train start to give problem. like 147 it run almost parallel to the mrt line. Also it go to many area where many there is high demand of old forks who go to rochor area

Actually 851 is different from 147. 851 does not really run parallel to MRT. After YCK it just runs via Upper Thomson/Thomson and only meets NSL again at Novena. In spite of MRT operation, 851 will have a significant loading. -

Bunching analysis of Yishun 85x series:
Very common:
851 bendy followed with rigid or vice versa
858 especially on return journey.. can spot bunching already at tpe before even getting into yishun
Very rare:
852, 853, 854, 855, 856, 857, 859

Bus Bunching analysis of 96x series
Very common:
960
963 (especially rigid following bendy because rigids are way too slow because of high loading)
966 (ha ha ha... 3 buses together very common with then 20 minutes lag)
Very rare:
961, 962, 964, 965, 969 (last one needs to be confirmed but scheduling and runtime seems okay to me)

5???The max I spotted was 4 till now... This is ridiculous if the number has now jumped to 5 buses bunching. LTA just put buses... DDs is what the service needs.. and reduce 2-3 buses.

If afraid of PIE jam introduce 966A loop at Jln TPY/Upp Serangoon Rd junction as discussed with TIB1234T... or 966A loop inside TPY Lorong Lor 6 -

Just saw 969 bunch today at 3.35pm at Chong Pang towards Tampines. Buses involved were SMB3044P and SMB318U.
In other news, today 171 had 2 occasions of bunching
1140am (opp mandai camp 2 stop towards Yishun): SMB281R with TIB792E
330pm (Chong Pang towards Yishun): TIB792E with TIB572Z -
961 bunching is quite common during peak hours.
-
nw sv12's turn to bunch after the BSEP additions...
Does LTA know what it is doing??! -
sv190 yest evening bendy FULL at Stamford Court(Hill St) bus stop around 1840hrs...
while sv966 empty buses are happily returnnig to WRI...
Ironic, BSEP sure does not enhance riding experience for some routes... -

961 bunching is needed since there is no bendy in the fleet... Due to long journey, seats are needed for many elderlies.
Often, you will have to wait up to 15-20 mins after 8.30PM, and 2 of 961 buses will come either 1 min apart or bunching, but available seats are limited at Bt. Timah Shell Station towards WRI... Been choosing to take 961 sometimes to observe its frequencies and the space available in the bus...

Normally dont see 961 bunch near Bukit Timah area, but agree with you that since it does not have bendy, load can be quite heavy and buses can go quite slow with lot of people boarding/unboarding at stops.

On board 756K on 187 Stucked in jam for more than 30 mins on the left lane. I looked to the right and saw in order TIB492X,TIB1025E,TIB1066L,SMB3110G,SMB3061P,SMB3002K,SMB3003H,TIB868X, TIB464C,SMB264R,SMB3022C overtook my bus on the extreme right lane. A great experience. Took me 1h from Bukit Panjang Road to Woodlands -.-

.That's why sometimes taking 960 is the right choice! Took only 40 mins to reach my busstop...
