Ok i think i never fail to get pissed by Singapore's Public Transport System. During off peak hours especially, the transport system assumes that nobody is using it. Well is it a joke when the total waiting time of traveling to NUS taking a train followed by bus is longer than the journey? No! At least it isn't for Singapore.
The train waiting time for off peak hours is 7-9 min, i've even met with 11 min waiting time. That aside. And i waited for 97, not for the first time, and so i was counting how many other buses passed by, like 10 RWS8 buses, 5 143 buses and even the most erratic 61 had 3 buses passing by. So the holy waiting time for 97 today was 25 min, just 5 min longer than the average waiting time and almost 3 times the indicated waiting time written on the board, given that i am so UNLUCKY i stress to ALWAYS hit the maximum waiting time indicated. WOW! Today is my lucky day i guess, like everyday uhuh while waiting for buses. So my waiting time today was 9+25 min = 34 minutes while my journey was 15+20=35 minutes (excluding walking). Compared to the public transport systems of other developed countries, of course, our efficiency of the public transport is a farcry from countries like Hong Kong and London with train waiting time of 2-3minutes the most.
