      When a bus never comes, how do you inform us? There is no number online and so many people queueing waiting for the bus. How do we know it is late or never come? Quite frustrating!

    Given that the journey from Hougang to MBFC takes more than an hour, can add another two buses earlier at 7am and 7.20am. This is for people who need to start work at 8am and 8.30am.

    Can add a earlier bus at 6.10pm. 6.20pm is little bit long to wait for people going out of office before/at 6 pm
