Where can I look for the registration dates for the older TIBS buses?

You can try this book - 'S'pore Buses Vol 2 SSB & TIBS' by Mike Davis, DTS Publishing'.... or email SMRT...

When is the Citylink Direct Service by SBS Leisure being withdrawn and what is the reason of its withdrawal?

Withdrawn mainly due to low demand and sadly sold off all their buses too, not sure when though. (Refer - S'pore, A History of its Tram, Trolley Buses, Buses Vol 2...by F W York/DTS Publishing).

I remember SGWiki has them.

Can't rely too much on SGWiki, many misleading/wrong info especially before 90s era. Nice place for current info though because of too many obsessed kids haha... Just kidding...!

Hello guys,

At one point of time, svc 297 plied Tampines Ave 7, Tampines Ave 9 before going to St 45, 42 etc. Later on it was amended to ply Ave 7, St 41, Ave 9 and so on. When was that, anyone remember? Don't think this info was reflected in any guides.

334 all the while had LO2x way back in the 80s. If was after the LO2x were retired in end 2003, 334 then switch to full fleet 0405s. Same goes for 243.

291 if I am not mistaken ever had NAC VO2x and LAs running in the 90s. Switched to full SD most probably due to low demand back then.

I also remember 302 & 303 using BBDEP LAs.

Hello guys,

Service 297 was first amended to ply Tampines St 45 on 10th March 1990 before St 42 & 43. It was then amended to ply Tampines St 41 on 16th December 1990.

I only compare the routes from Bus Guide 1989/1990 and Transitlink Guide 1992 to narrow down the results and found the amendments in Busway.

Ah...When 190 became partially AMDEP controlled during the mass depot transfer exercise in March 2008, TIB937E TIB1042E TIB1177A were added into the fleet.

When did KJ take full control of 190 back? I remember taking TIB634D on 965 around 08 or 09.

And 858 and 966. I spoke to some SL who drove 858. They say travelling back to WLDEP from T2 is tiring 1h trip. They changed to 965 coz it is less tiring to drive 965 than 858. 966 also shld be tiring to travel all the way back to WLDEP from Parkway Parade. I realize many WL 961 ends at GL1 like 726Y,608E and 294D. 969 also the same some WL ends at Tamp

I wanted to ask, when is the year where Victoria St became bi-directional and New Bridge Rd (road name) allow bus services to ply the road? Which buses were amended to ply these two roads instead of North Bridge Road and South Bridge Road?
