Taking bus(in Singapore) has to face two unexpected ieionvnncences:1. Untimely arrival of buses. Very common to see the same number of bus arrives at the same time at BUS-STOP. In addition, the waiting time for some bus numbers can be as long as 30 minutes or longer.2. Heavy traffic jam(peak or non-peak period) along the way to the destination is not uncommon. This makes many commuters who need to arrive on time for their plan-destination shying away to use this option.Some of our bus drivers' bad driving habits of zooming in and out of the bus-lane aggravate the traffic situation. Although we have a COE system to control the growth of car population, my experience of taking public buses in Hong Kong is a more pleasant one. I notice that the drivers(both private and public transport)in Hong Kong are more disciplined and the traffic management is more advanced, e.g. traffic lights computerised to tune/time in according to traffic volume, more orderly pedestrain-crossing and observing/obeying the rules of yellow-box junction, etc..Anyone cares to share more?
