SMRT has reponded to a STOMPer's queries on a bus service, which, according to the digital timetable at the bus stop, was scheduled to take 91 minutes to arrive at the Clarke Quay station.
In their response, an SMRT spokesperson says:
"I refer to the STOMP post on the arrival time of Service 61 displayed at the bus stop outside Clarke Quay Station (3 September).
"Service 61 has an average frequency of between 7 and 11 minutes from 5.30am to 8.30am on weekdays.
"Based on the information provided and from our investigation, this photograph of the real-time bus arrival information display at the bus stop outside Clarke Quay Station was likely to have been taken at about 5am.
"The real-time bus arrival information then would show 91 minutes as Service 61 begins operation from Bukit Batok Interchange at 5.30am and would reach the bus stop outside Clarke Quay Station at about 6.30am.
=> Then how to explain the "more realistic" timing of the other services? Talk cock also dun know how to!
We would appreciate if STOMP could share this with its audience."
