Service 75 connects the West to the Central areas, serving residents of Bukit Panjang, Upper Bukit Timah, Ulu Pandan, Bukit Merah, and Kim Tian with connections to the City areas of Napier, Grange Road, and Great World. It is also the only bus service to ply Grange Road.

From Bukit Panjang, Service 75 compliments Service 184 to Clementi Road, a sector of high demand during peak periods with demand from various educational institutes along Clementi Road, such as Ngee Ann Polytechnic and Singapore University of Social Sciences.

The service, previously connecting Gali Batu to Marina Centre, was amended to Bukit Merah Bus Interchange as part of the Thomson-East Coast Line 3 Bus Service Rationalisation via Kim Tian Road and Jalan Bukit Merah, effective 17 December 2023. The lost sectors along Cantonment Road and Cantonment Link were served by the amended Service 121.

    Maybe it should ply Dunearn/Bukit Timah Road, Cluny/Evans Road, Skipping Clementi, Ulu Pandan and Holland Roads. 75 should amend because for the connectivity for Cluny/Evans Road Residents to Tanglin Mall & Great World City, instead of walking from Cluny/Evans Road to Napier MRT for 10-5 minutes.

    Can Double Decker Buses ply Evans and Cluny Road?

      There not much of demand as it’s all private estates. And secondly, Holland Road & Ulu Pandan Road / Clementi Road are still needed for 75…..

    After the route amendment, I think double deck buses may deploy into this service. Saw some buses running into trial for it.
