YES. I took 46 on CDGE bound for Tampines, I tell you, sibei crowded. 46 sucks, 20 minutes for 1 bus in the morning? fu****g hell. Im not waiting for 20 minutes just to get squeezed like sardines. BESP? MY HEAD AH!
ji bai sbs, im not waiting, even a CDGE cant hold your capacity of people. si bei xian
I would like to comment that the waiting time for bus service number 46 needs improvements. I stay in bedok and always have to wait an average of 10mins for the bus. Unlike bus number 222 and 14 that are serving my area, the frequency really needs improvement especially during peak hours, the bus are always packed due to long waiting time.
before 46 so late now every mintues! are you mad lta
Agree. always late. still today bus 46 just went to the center of the road and drove straight off without even answering my wave.
Just announced that will extend to Pasir Ris. Good move for Tampines North
yes norman, 46 is a important bESP service, yet the timing is awful.
