    It is rather annoying that bus 79 schedule always delays from 8am to 8.30am…. often two buses will arrived together at block 41 teban garden and there after it will take around 20 minutes for the next 79 services..
    This has caused many workers late for work and over crowded thus always happens.
    We will be much appreciated if the authority will look into this issue..
    Thank you and regards.

    Should let Svc 79 serve Jurong Town Hall Interchange and start Jurong Town Hall Interchange and loop at Boon Lay Interchange. SWT79 withdrawn and new Terminating Trip 79T introduced between Jurong Town Hall Interchange and Boon Lay Interchange.

    Why not let 79 loop inside the new interchange, since there’s an unused queue line there
