What is the route of service 4 (Pasir Ris-St. Michael's) and service 21 (Pasir Ris - Lor 1 Geylang) back in 1991/1992?

To the best of my knowledge, svc 4 was extended to Pasir Ris to cover the route of

withdrawn svc 19 >

St Michael's Ter, Whampoa Rd, Jalan Bahagia, Kim Keat Rd, Balestier Rd, Thomson Rd, Moulmein Rd, Balestier Rd, Boon Keng Rd, Geylang Lor 1, Sims Ave, Sims Ave East, New Upp Changi Rd, Bedok Nth Ave 3, Bedok Reservoir Rd, Tampines Ave 1, Ave 5, Ave 7...c'tnue current svc 21's route.

The route for svc 21 (PR - Lor 1 Geylang) was the same as current route just that it terminated at Lor 1 Geylang.

I still remembered taking svc 19 from Bdk - PR on a LA.. my pri sch days.

Oh thanks...I didn't record down the information when I was at NL building. According to the SBS Busway newsletter it was stated that service 21 was introduced in 1992.

Service 4 was amended to start from Tampines on 29 Nov 1992 when service 28 was withdrawn.

According to the busway newsletter in 1985, there was a service 44 which was withdrawn after the closure of Chai Chee Terminal. Does anyone knows the route detail of this service.

Also in one of the 1985 Busway newsletter, it was mentioned that service 112 was withdrawn. Does anyone knows of the route details of this service then?

What is the route details for service 295 that time?

Tamp Int, Ave 5, St 83, St 84, Ave 8, Ave 5 and Tamp Int..

Gus.chong SG

Tamp Int, Ave 5, St 83, St 84, Ave 8, Ave 5 and Tamp Int..

I just don't know why SBS had to amend it to skip Tampines Street 84 before amending it again years after it become a part of 291 to ply Tampines Street 84 again.

Yah I rmbr..., that time before Townlink 291/293 introduced. All I can say, I hope before these bus operators amend/withdraw etc. whatever bus service, they shud ask for feedbacks from the public before deciding..

For example I was quite pissed off when they extended svc 147 to Hougang and skip Potong Pasir in the past, leaving only svc 142 (that was quite unreliable then) there.

Also upset when svc 158 was amended from Bdk - S'goon to S'goon - Tg Rhu.

From what I saw in TransitLink Guide 1992, service 142 was already amended to loop at Potong Pasir Ave 1 instead of starting from Potong Pasir Terminal, but 147 still plies Potong Pasir Terminal. Think this was why 147 was merged with 83 in March 1992.

starscream_07 SG

When svc 147 was amended to skip Potong Pasir, there were lots of complaints from residents. Svc 147 linked to more areas than svc 142, were the preferred bus then. And of course, Potong Pasir didn't belong to the main ruling party then so.....(I don't need to explain...).

vicamour SG

SBST should extend 82 to Potong Pasir so that the residents can have a bus service to Northeast region at least.

Actually I have suggested to SBS way back in the 90s..and last yr abt another bus to serve Potong Pasir. No reply till now. Don't think they will agree on another bus to NE region due to NEL duplication...

Talking about 142, what buses were used bfore the Scania N113CRBs came in???

I wish I would know the answer as well...probably Mercedes-Benz OF1417s?

Gus.chong SG

I went to the National Library again and record down the registration dates for the Leyland Olympian 2-axles, Mercedes-Benz O305s, Leyland Altanteans, Scania N113CRBs and Mercedes-Benz O405s.
