juz a notes:
If u are enquiring on old bus routes.
maybe you cna find out if the bus routes fall into the following
time frames
(gernation 0)
pre 1960s - Chiense Bus Comapny days. did the bus routes existed
under this companies.
(gernation 1 - orginal generation / old generation- many names i
call these orginal gen svcs)
1969 - the merger of many chiense bus companies
to form ABS ASC or UBC
1971-1973 - slow transition days to SBS
Any bus route intro after 1972 is considered 2nd gen
1978 - finalisation of the route under SBS
1980s the cross island introductions (stuff like 74 or 25
1990s
background on roads,
in the 1960s
Roads were few beyond the city area, Serangoon rd ran to NE. any
bus svc gg NE used this road. Simialir dieas for
West Coast rd Bukit timah rd (green bus territory), Changi rd
(paya lebar Bus terriroty), Alexnadra rd (Hock lee), sembawang rd
(tay Koh yat),
macpherson est existed, queesntown have not.
1968 (the svc numbering introduction )
Queenstown around leow. jurong begins to form. Upp jurong
Rd became a main road.
1970 9TPY town was begin to develop)
1980 9AMK town begins..., clemnti new town...)
and etc
with a basic knowldge of the road systems u cna further
understand how few bus routes were and why there are now so few
orginal gen routes.
based on my research, the only roginal gen route with no route
changes 9except extensions) is..
Svc 61
Why is 61 the original gen route with no changes?
