Service 176 is an inter-town route connecting the housing estates of Bukit Panjang, Hillview, Bukit Batok, Jurong East and Bukit Merah. Part of its route travels along West Coast Highway for quick journeys between Pasir Panjang and Jurong East. Its sector between Telok Blangah MRT and Bukit Merah benefits residents at Telok Blangh and Bukit Merah Central with convenient access to Telok Blangah MRT Station along the Circle Line. Along with Service 175, this service serves the industries along West Coast Highway and Pasir Panjang Road.

Running with moderate to low demand during off-peak hours, the service encounters high demand during peak hours from increased commute to and from industries around West Coast and Pasir Panjang, as well as increased inter-town commute.

    This is not the first time I can’t wait for bus #176. I stood at the stop for more than 30 minutes and the bus never arrived. This is not normal.

    Bus 176 (SMB 274L)
    Give this driver a pat on his back for good attitude.

    He waited for us as we ran towards the bus stop before Inchcape Bldg before 12 noon

    At bus stop before Pandan Loop, one passenger forgot to indicate his intention to alight and only pressed the bell after bus past the bus stop, the driver stopped his bus a distance from the bus stop for him to alight.

    Thirdly, at bus stop outside teban garden, one passenger wanted to board this bus but was busy looking at her things and did not see the bus arrived until the bus past the bus stop. The driver stopped the bus for her to board.

    This driver also sounded his horn when near the bus stop where there are lesser passengers to indicate his arrival. Good gesture.

    Thanks
