This thread is intended to post bus bunching observation/spotting. We often see buses of same service number bunch up. I am putting this thread so that we can report them, and this way we can also observe services that often bunch. Please put date, service number and bus type (DD/SD/bendy) when you state your spotting.

2 DDs on sv 51 observed bunching at Eunos AM peak towards Jurong Interchange. I was wondering that if the DDs are already sticking to each other, this is probably how they will travel all the way up to Jurong.
A little more investigation showed there was a non-WAB bus on iris after 04 minutes that would call the stop. My prediction that by the time this bus reaches Havelock, it would touch the other 2 in front, and then all 3 will travel together to Jurong.
What can BCs do to avoid this? I am sure the wait time for the first of the 3 bunched up buses would be 20+ minutes.
4 cases today:
1. Service 307. Time was 11am at blk 702 (CCK DR) bus stop. SMB209B bunch with SMB213M after 20 mins wait...next bus was SMB212R, which was opposite, meaning, will take at least 15 mins to reach Blk 702 stop...
2. Service 241. Time was 425pm at pioneer MRT towards Boon Lay. 3 buses together. SBS3299L, SBS3660B and another wright.
