Nor 43 IMO as it caters further down to Siglap, UEC and many
people from Paya Lebar take it as a direct bus during peak
hours.
135 cut would still have been okay because I haven't seen many
pax taking 135 through and through b/w Marine Parade and Macpherson
estate. There would be few who would have to transfer at Paya Lebar
to 43/76 but both are/were DD services. Or take 40 (a bit longer
but direct, and parallel to MP).
135 cut and 76 untouched, with 40 diverted permanently to Marine
Parade Rd. no need for new route 134 at all.
But since LTA already made the executive decision, the next best
thing is to revamp 40, 47, 125 and 135 as i have earlier suggested
on this board and Routes.one.
