Singapore Buses route 77

Service 77 is a trunk route linking Bukit Batok with Marina Centre via Toh Tuck, Bukit Timah, Sixth Avenue, Holland Road, Orchard and Dhoby Ghaut.

Dow to low density housing throughout the catchment areas, demand is limited outside the City. The route compliments service 173 between Bukit Batok and Toh Tuck Estate, and 7 from Holland Road to Dhoby Ghaut.

Formerly an Ernest service since 1995, it was transferred to Timothy since 18 June 2000. It is the first service to use Volvo B10M Mark IV (DM3500) buses. High capacity articulated / double decker buses were not deployed due to insufficient demand, and also possibly due to road constraints along Sixth Avenue. The route performs a u-turn at Dunearn Road and Eng Neo Road as buses cannot turn directly into the Sixth Avenue from Dunearn Road.

Fleet
Service 77’s fleet consists of Mercedes-Benz O530 Citaro and MAN NL323F (BSEP) buses.
