176 timings very funny today.
SMB1409J (on AP10, replacing TIB513U) left Bukit Merah Int at 3.50p.m, although the SBS Transit timetable display showed 3.46p.m... TIB1236M and TIB853M (AP07, replacing TIB902E) bunched up at Telok Blangah Stn at 4.07p.m, after SMB1409J reached at 4.00p.m... Suspect TIB1236M BC started trip late, while TIB853M started trip early...
Both SMB1401E (supposed to be behind TIB853M) and TIB853M came into Bukit Merah Int together at about 3.45p.m... SMB1400H overtook TIB542K (AP09), so the sequence changed...
Original = TIB513U (AP10) > TIB1236M > TIB902E (AP07) > SMB1401E > TIB541M > TIB542K (AP09) > SMB1400H > SMB1402C > TIB874C (S250)
Today = TIB513U (AP10) > TIB1236M > SMB1401E > TIB853M (AP07) > TIB541M > SMB1400H > TIB542K (AP09) > SMB1402C > TIB874C (S250)

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.
There should be a scheduled bus departure for 160 and 170 from Woodlands Checkpoint.

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
Earlier this month:
854 rigid on Yio Chu Kang Rd. A minute later, a rigid and a bendy arrive at the same road at the same time. Another minute later, all three bunched up.
2 rigids bunched up at the opposite direction 5 minutes later.

Bus 72. Bus bunching like xiao, minimum frequency: 2 mins. I beg to differ from sbst191, the buses are really needed!
Places where suddenly a huge load of passengers get on the bus:
Tampines Int
Several Bus Stops along Tampines Rd(not really a lot but quite a couple)
Hougang Ctrl
A bus stop along AMK Ave 5 that is adjacent to AMK lnd park.
ITE Bus Stop
Bus stop aft Anderson Sec.Direction from YCK Int within a few bus stops only can fill to max.
On the other hand, bus 109.
109A being deployed at the wrong times... 10PM the buses still can fill to the max just from picking up passengers from Serangoon Int, even bus driver have to reject passengers. These timings 109A needs to be deployed, most of the passengers alight at Hougang 1(109A fulfills the whole sector of the journey from Serangoon INT to the last road it serves for Hougang, sole purpose is Hougang 1)
They need to deploy more WEGs, even though Serangoon Int can't handle that much wegs, increase the frequencies of WEGs is a better solution(frequencies apart from each other such that when a WEG depart, a WEG arrives)... -

I would say it can't handle many buses because of space constraints.

Sv 72 does have good loading but bunching has become too common with first bus taking pax, 2nd bus going empty.
not sure if Tampines rd sees many pax... Except for industrial shift times as per my observation... Most buses are in 55-70 pax range... Before buses would be 100+ pax with some not able to board. Average loading at Tampines interchange is now between 45-55 pax as bus comes every 04-05 mins.
so def good improvement on this service.

Like that SBST & SMRT should have 80% high capacity and 20% single deck only cause our freaking population keep on increasing leh....Then the Citaro can cancel deal liao..
Svc 72 got demands at Old Tampines bus stops at night..should SBST introduce 72C?kwang kwang kwang..
