Well, they are exceptionally slow particularly when you are rushing for time, am I right?
It's a perception - that's what I am trying to say. While there are reasons why Singapore buses cannot be faster, it's also our perceptions and our constant need to hurry that force us to such judgements.
A comparison with many bus services in other countries would reveal that Singapore buses are not that bad after all.
That's my two cents' worth - as a Singaporean.

Anyway, that's my opinion.

The stops and traffic signals are very close, and also all buses are equipped with auto gear that makes it further slow..
