PTC and LTA will never approve it. 128 was publicized and made to be an alternative to train services with normal trunk fares, it'd be slapping themselves on the face...besides, it's already so not popular, it'd be slapping yourself on the face twice.

if it is supposes to be an alternative to train services, why skip Toa Payoh? It makes no sense at all! In fact in the morning i must say that people take the bus rather than trains to Work at Braddell and also Toa Payoh. -

An alternative to the train service that sticks close to the MRT route will never be viable in the first place. Service 128 in its current form would be withdrawn as soon as possible, i.e. 6 months.

raffles place -> bishan = 20 min
128 -> apex to bishan -> 40 min
orchard mrt -> bishan mrt -> 13 min
128 -> orchard mrt -> bishan mrt -> 17 mincompare the timings with the old 128 yourself.
you're simply displeased because it stopped serving your house and giving you an alternate and faster route home.

i dislike 157 keep turning around in toa payoh area to reach bus int, very inconvenient! might as well go straight all the way to int. -
I like the new route. Agree with tamago.
The service would not work any longer if it still plies Toa Payoh, making the trip so long, compared to the MRT. Toa Payoh to Orchard only 3 stops leh! Quite hard to tempt people, especially when it duplicates all the stops and the jam at Jalan Toa Payoh, Thomson Road... =X
Sounds like its worth it to take 128 more than the MRT from Ang Mo Kio / Bishan to Orchard and Shenton Way!
But I think they should make more stops along Ang Mo Kio and Bishan. This route would not tempt those who can see the bus but have to take a feeder bus to change to 128. -

Actually note bus if possible could use Bishan St 21 -> Marymount Rd -> Thomson Rd to get to Newton
