Yeah man, They should revive back 43M but more to longer interval like 10 min peak hours and 20 mins off peaks
I believe buses ending trips at serangoon will turn around and do downroutes at serangoon stn exit F.
Essentially a revival of 43M that they didnt want to admit.
Not to mention the audacity of calling it as a part of BCEP to improve services.
this whole 43A and special 43 departures back to Punggol is basically LTA admitting that they lost but for their pride they will rather make 43A than restore 43M like their pride telling them that the decision for 104 leaving Buangkok Green is correct.
