Firstly, there's no change in Service 27.
What I suggested was a merger of Service 34 and 85 and it will
become Service 34. So Service 34 is from Yishun to Changi
Airport,
Yishun > Sengkang > Punggol > Tampines > Changi
Airport
Changi Airport > Tampines >
Punggol > Sengkang > Yishun
But then Service 34M is different from the 'extended' Service
34.
Service 34, from Tampines goes through Punggol first when towards
Yishun (hi-lighted Red), but Service 34M goes through Sengkang and
but it will not continue its journey. (Tampines > Sengkang,
similar to Service 27)
The purpose of Service 34M is to ease the loads of Service 27.
How??
- When people are waiting for Service 27, Service 34M arrives and
the people board it, the next Service 27 comes will have lesser
commuters.
- People living in Tampines but does not have Service 27 at the
bus stop nearest to them need not transfer anymore and can just
take Service 34M. Likewise, It will lessen the commuters on
Service 27.
Ok okie. But remember that SMRT has 858 which plies that segment
of Yishun - Changi Airport. I don't know how well Sv. 85 is doing,
really. But I think if it is doing well, then it should remain as
it is. But if the operators decide against having a route duplicate
to Sv. 27 to relieve loads, then Sv. 34 should go Punggol thru its
estate, then to Sengkang, duplicating the Sv. 27 route there. Then
it will take TPE to Tampines where it will remain on the current
Sv. 34 route to Changi Airport PTB 2.
