Where's the bus?
|
|
| I AM a regular bus commuter. Last Tuesday, I was at the bus stop at Tampines Avenue 2 waiting for Service 9. I waited for one hour from 4pm, but not a single Service 9 bus came, whereas I saw at least six Service 8 buses pass by. I overheard another commuter complaining that she had been waiting since 3.30pm.
Eventually, I took a cab as I was late for my appointment. According to the information board at the bus stop, the waiting time for Service 9 is, at most, 19 minutes during off-peak hours. Therefore, from 4pm to 5pm, there should at least be six buses if not seven. Being a regular and long-term bus commuter who have been subjected to one fare raise after another, I believe SBS Transit owes commuters an explanation.
