Singapore Buses route 76

Service 76 is a trunk service plying between Yio Chu Kang Terminal and looping at Marine Crescent, passing through Ang Mo Kio, Serangoon, Paya Lebar, Tanjong Katong Rd and Marine Parade. Demand is fairly strong today.

From 20 March 2016, service 76 will be shortened to Eunos, losing the Tanjong Katong and Marine Parade sectors. It however spoils the reliability due to the route being too long by the bus drivers, the need to switch off engine and because of the Silver Zone at Marine Crescent. Service 134 will cover the lost sector between Paya Lebar and Marine Parade, but with their rerouting along Ceylon Road. A few commuters took their long distance from Yio Chu Kang, Ang Mo Kio or Serangoon North to Marine Parade are affected. Commuters can change to the service 134 at Paya Lebar.

The bulk of commuters in Serangoon and Paya Lebar still provide door-to-door service to Marine Parade.

Fleet
Service 76 received Volvo B10TLs in 2003 and Volvo B9TL (CDGE) in 2007. A Volvo B9TL (Wright) is also added to shorten the frequency and to compensate the number of buses when BSEP arrives in 2012.
