only 3 timing?
06:53, 07:38 & 08:30
the 71 service is super pack from 6.30 am till 8.30am, should increase more frequency
Is it possible to introduce new service (let’s say 71M) to run from Yio Chu Kang Interchange to Toa Payoh (loop) same route from YCK Interchange to Braddell Road then extension to:
Flyover
Toa Payoh Lor 6
Toa Payoh Interchange (loop)
Maybe they should just extend 71 to toa payoh int.
Toa Payoh Int not enough parking space already. And also, Bishan Street 11 junction is not friendly, so better to leave 71 routing as it is…
