    Hi SBS,

    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.
