The authority confirmed they are reinstating the original route. It has been a long and exhausting struggle to keep this link intact for our community. I am taking a breath now but we will keep watching the service to ensure it stays reliable for everyone.

Katong, Marine Parade, Paya Lebar, Serangoon, Sengkang, Ang Mo Kio and Yio Chu Kang residents, I'm sure everyone has heard about the recent amendment of Service 76, and I'm sure nobody is satisfied and positively impacted by it.
As we all know 76 isn't a new route, it's served residents along the route for years, everyone's used to snoring from one end to the other and I'm sure nobody will want to change buses which will cause long term problems such as more buses on the roads and more overcrowded bus stops. This should not be the intended outcome of bus enhancement schemes and it definitely shouldn't be used as a reference to future bus amendment plans. Although the amendment has been implemented, we do hope that the authorities are able to come up with another solution which not only can retain the original sections, but make enhancements so that everyone will benefit.
Even though the route will still serve its current stretch between YCK and Paya Lebar, however AMK plus Serangoon residents will lose their direct link to Marine Parade and vice versa. Please spread this around to your friends and families, especially if they will be impacted. Thanks and #keep76intheloop

One hundred signatures arrived this morning and it feels like a heavy weight has been shared. The process is exhausting but seeing that others feel the same frustration keeps me moving forward.

I am a student studying in Ang Mo Kio and I normally have to take the first 76 from Marine Terrace to make it to school on time. With this amendment, I will be late for school if I take 134 to transfer to 76 and thus I have to take 134 to change MRT from now
I have a boy, who is Studying in Tanjong Katong Sec. Sch. He always took No 76, from Amk Ave 3, near Serangoon North to Dunman Road. This is a direct Bus to his School. Why you must Shorten the Bus route? Why? Give us a very Good reason.
We always go to Parkway Parade straight from my friend's place in Yio Chu Kang! I find this amendment the worst one I ever heard of. Why would anyone want to pay for an extra bus fare by trasferring at Eunos just to go to MP? Also think of the elderly!
I take this bus 76 from my house in Marine Terrace to Yio Chu Kang Road where I work. Many other residents in Marine Terrace take 76 to areas beyond Paya Lebar MRT also. LTA should not tamper with a service that many people rely on as a direct route.
76 should stay as it is and implementing 134 and 150 to compensate to 76 loss of route isn't good. Implement 134 and 150 to increase capacity at those areas while 76 stay as it is thus commuters have more choices of buses to take!
The additional bus transfer causees unncessary longer waiting times instead of direct bus to and fro yio chu kang and marine parade.
None.

My kid go to school thru 76 from monday to fri. Now needs to drop and change at payar lebar MRT. The change of route is not favorable. Strongly urge to restore the original route. The replacement can be substitute but should not create inconveniences.
