SBS - Singapore Bull-Shitters
Posted in The Prophet on October 9th, 2006 by MoleznevWe seek your understanding that unlike the MRT, which operates on fixed tracks, the operation of our buses, like all vehicles, is highly vulnerable to traffic conditions. At times, our bus captains are unable to adhere to the schedule because of adverse traffic conditions, inclement weather or varying passenger activity enroute, especially during the peak hours. All these factors would have an impact on the reliability of our services.
Nevertheless, we are monitoring our services closely. Where it is within our control, every effort will be made to minimize service disruptions. We are also constantly reminding our bus captains during our team briefings to try their best to adhere to their schedule to ensure service reliability.
If buses were expected to be caught in a jam, shouldn’t the bus company considered it when they were planning the time for bus intervals? And there is something known as dispatching a bus earlier to avoid the jam! Since they are PTOs, they should conform to what the government said, which is to leave earlier! If the PTOs cannot do it, why should anyone else do it?
