Unless there is high demand between Marine Crescent and Upp Paya
Lebar/Serangoon/AMK all of a sudden to warrant a return of 76, its
reinstatement will not happen. An extension of 150 up to Serangoon
is possible so that at the very least Tai Seng has a direct
connection to Marine Crescent. But this would make it very
duplicative along Paya Lebar Rd and defeat its main objective of
providing MRT access via Eunos.
Of course you could tweak 134
to send it further down Marine Parade Rd such that it skips Marine
Cres/Terr and loops at Victoria School instead. Might be useful for
VJC and VS students to have a direct link from Sims Pl? But in that
case, you may need to scale down capactiy as the Paya Lebar to
Marine Parade sector will be shared amongst four services (43, 76,
134 and 135).
But, the main objective in this whole saga was to improve the
connection to Paya Lebar and Parkway Parade. While you may argue
that some people did take 76 beyond these points, let's face it,
everything cancels out - 76's old route had reliability issues
which impacted ALL residents REGARDLESS of final
destination.
Too many services in Marine Parade already. Please no more
extensions etc for MP.
The only service I am okay to see is:
36M introduced to city because it is need of the day!!
