______________EUNOS_BUS_SERVICES_HISTORY__________________
for the old Malay setllement village in Eunos, it was known as
Kaki Bukit Malay settlement (at Jln Perwira) and also at Jln Eunos
Malay Settlement itself.
Note that there were 2 terminus in that area - Jln Eunos End
Terminal and the another at Jln Perwira. Jln Eunos End Terminal was
only formed as part of the 1971 re-organisation.
In the pre-1971 bus re-organisation, its routes were served by
Changi Bus Co Ltd, Routes 3 and 3A.
Route 3 from Guillemard Rd (near Lim Ah Woo Rd) to Kg Batak
(part of Kaki Bukit Malay settlement and also located off Jln
Eunos)
Route 3A uses buses from Route 3 and diverts its route via Jln
Abadi, Jln Damai and return back to Guillemand Rd.
From Kaki Bukit Malay Settlement (Jln Perwira termiuns)
50 - To lengkok bahru
50A - To Stamford Rd (loop)
From Jln Eunos End terminus
51 - To Alexandra Rd (near pasir Panjang RD)
52 - To Anson Rd (Tg Pagar)
In 1974, there were only minor changes to its Eunos services,
leaving the 3 reamining services serving in the Eunos village
area
50A was renumbered to 53
52 was withdrawn.
50 - Kaki Bukit Malay Settlement to Jln Bt Merah (it was amended
to Sims Ave / Paya Lebar Rd and subsequently extended to Jln Bt
Merah)
51 - Jln Eunos End to Alexandra Rd
53 - Kaki Bukit Malay Settlement to Alexandra Rd (it was extended
to Jln Bukit Merah previously in the 1974 rationalisation.)
It was slated that the Eunos Malay Settlement is to be re-zoned
for high rise housing development in the 1980s as well as the MRT
line. As Jln Perwira acquired for the redevelopment, the terminus
has to be closed down and 50 and 51 were amended to Jln Eunos
Terminal. By the time, service 50 was amended to Bukit Merah while
51 amended to Labrador Ter. As more villages in the Eunos were
cleared, the service still terminate at the Jln Eunos Ter and was
eventually termiantes at the new Eunos Ter in 1986 (the current
interchange located near the Eunos MRT). On the same year, Service
54 from Hougang to Eunos (loop) was introduced to create new links
to Hougang but it was integrated with service 51. Service 51 was
then extended to Hougang and then to Jurong east with its closure
of Labrador Ter. A new feeder service 382 connects to Ubi Ave 1
(loop) followed by 385 which goes to Bedok Reservoir Rd (loop). It
was said that service 50 was withdrawn in the late 1980s.
