Pretty disappointing. Maybe want to give Tehlok Karau residents door step MRT access since this starts from interchange. This is the only explanation I can think of. Highly duplicative with 13, 15, 155.

BAD MOVE!!

Bac to 117 all along there is a need for SAP to have connection to the nearest MRT, Punggol n nt rely on 103 to transfer wic does not make sense.

LTA was slow to implement, but better than nothing

So the news here was true. 134/76 is okay. Acceptable. But 150. Really strange.

76 also would have been better if gone to Lor 1 Geylang instead. Eunos route is so duplicative.

Acx1688 SG

Poor planning for 134 n 150 can combine to 1 route,

1. Save bus/manpower

2. Cut down pollution

117 is fine and good move to do West Camp with same runtime. 150??

Agreed. Extremely poor planning. Could have combined 47 and 134 also. Just go on introduce multiple services...

Acx1688 SG

Telok Kurau ve 15 to Eunos n 155 as return assuming min walking, watmore to ask for?

150 via Jalan Turi already waste 6/7mins w 3 sets of traffic lights.

BusAnalayzer SG

Will be sad to see 76 not do Parkway Parade anymore. Have taken this bus countless times from Paya Lebar MRT. Now will be 134.

Acx1688 SG

Pls lah, rather than waste resources, give Pungg residents a SOLID, PARTIAL express DIRECT route to city.

Acx1688 SG

Give Yishun residents an semi Express, DIRECT trunk to NUH / Clementi

BusAnalayzer SG

Last set of route planning in Dec was really good when 47, 117, 118, 979, 983 (ext) was launched.

This set of route planning sucks.

Could have introduced Eunos-Chai Chee-Bedok North-Tanah Merah-CBP service instead.

Acx1688 SG

LTA really hates 76...

CTB, KMB, NWFB ve almos similar routes to terminals bit origin is different, why dont LTA take heed since its introducing duplicate services?

Acx1688 SG

Eunos Chai Chee Bedok TNM CBP ve sv2 to do tfr

Sv9 used to start fr Lor 1, rationalise to Eunos b4 currently serving out of Bedok

Acx1688 SG

47 good? Its a parallel for 12,48

Boosting the capacity of the main will do wonders

SBS 9256 X SG

Looks like Svc 134, Svc 150 press release is out...

Svc 134 will presumed be controlled by HGDEP
Svc 150 will presumed be controlled by BNDEP

I wonder if Svc 76 will be dual controlled between AMDEP & BNDEP... I hope not unless it is a dual control between AMDEP & HGDEP (which I foresee ppl will start talking about it if it happens)

7337 SG

Given its number, I think 150 may be extended to Bidadari in the future.

P.S. anyone knows 76's new operating hrs? From both YCK and Eunos.

BAD MOVE!!

I suppose u mean Marine Terrace... Could be due to residents and MP feedback for bus service to Eunos MRT, since Paya Lebar is further. Nevertheless I expect demand to be limited.

Actually the junction could just be modified to allow right-turning buses from Marine Terrace to Marine Parade Rd, similar to the one at Beauty World for 173, but with traffic lights for both bounds along Marine Parade Rd. Then svc 13 can ply Marine Terrace in both directions.
