Only 1 bus serving important camps but bus takes 15 min to arrive
STOMPer MS thinks the frequency of bus 172 can be improved, especially as it results in long queues for the bus (see picture). He says that speed is important when getting army, airforce and SCDF personnel to their camps.
STOMPer MS said:
"This is my rant that SMRT bus 172 has a very cocked-up frequency.
"We always have to wait about 15mins for the next bus at Boon Lay interchange if we miss one.
"Furthermore, I can't understand why the frequency could not be adjusted.
"The lanes next to us, buses 255 and 180 has more frequent frequency than bus 172, most of the time 2 or 3 bus 255s would pass before we get our 172.
"It would be ok if it is not the only bus serving the many important camps, namely Singapore Civil Defence Academy, Tengah Airbase, Keat Hong Camp and Home Team Academy.
"That 15 mins for our uniformed personnel is very crucial, and only 2mins of delay from their homes could have caused the more than 15 min delay to reach camp.
"This is not fair for them.
"I hope this Stomp posting would wake SMRT's idea as I'm sure I'm not the first to complain; my friends have wrote letters to them.
"I have personally posted this issue onto MP Zaqy Mohamed's Facebook wall regarding this issue several months ago."
