Are there any bus ply Hu Ching Rd in the past?Thought saw a SBS bus pass by Jurong Town Pri Sch when i was a kid

SBS8533C SG

Thanks a lot.

I am very interested to know what happened to Princess Elizaberth bus terminal in the early 1990s, which houses service 192 and 193. What happened to it?

When did SBS 173 went to cover Hillview area?

Any ideas on the above.

I hope you can share more of the lists of these bus service changes in major new towns in the 1970s and 1980s in future. I am thinking of compling them together and do a print out for easy references. Thanks a lot.

Princess Elizabeth Estate Terminal closed down in the early 1990s as the estate is earmarked for demolition on the later years. SBS 173 covers the Hillview areas possibly in the late 1970s.

I don't really understand why 180 is still a 2-directional service since it loops at Boon Lay Interchange, and do not park there for break, just return to Bukit Panjang.

I don't really understand why 180 is still a 2-directional service since it loops at Boon Lay Interchange, and do not park there for break, just sreturn to Bukit Panjang.

LOL... Same for 172. Stated as 2 directional, but in reality the bus does not terminate at 1 terminal and continues trip, looping back.

180 - Bukit Panjang To Boon Lay Int (Loop)
172 - Boon Lay Int To Choa Chu Kang Int (Loop)

SBS8214Z SG

Haha, take break only, or even no. just scan card and go...

In 2001, Trans Island and CSS (SSB) became under SMRT Group. CSS falls under SMRT body, which means CSS became SMRT controlled until its withdrawal. CSS service can only be withdrawn, neither can be amended or introduced becuase the SSB was dissolved and SMRT take over the CSS services, becuase the routes belongs to the former SSB.

By the way, would also like to ask how did Tampines, Ang Mo Kio Services became the current routes?

ABOUT ANG MO KIO BUS SERVICES (latest updates)

At first, when Ang Mo Kio New Town is still currently under development in the 1970s, there were 2 terminals situated - one at Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 (os Blk 324) and the other at Ang Mo Kio Ave 6 (opp Blk 202). In fact, there was a feeder 260 that serve from AMK Ave 6 to St 22/24. Initially, there was only one terminal, Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 (os Blk 324) and because as there are more services terminating at Ang Mo Kio New Town, another termporary terminal was constructed at Ang Mo Kio Ave 6 (opp Blk 202).

Some additions:

You forgot about 25 and 159 under the part of the opening of Ang Mo Kio interchange in 1982.

132 was extended to Hougang South in 1986 or 1988 and ending point was extended to Bukit Merah around the same period.

74 was extended to Hougang Central in the 1990s and the route was shortened to Buona Vista terminal.

267 was withdrawn in 2002 when 159 was extended to Sengkang.

133A was an express service along CTE in the late 1980s.

When was 168 withdrawn??? Is it in 1987 or 1988???

Thanks for the information about Ang Mo Kio bus service history. Maybe you can edit the revisions the next day.

I remembered the Leyland Olympian 2 axles demostrator piled on the old service 162.

About Tampines, what I know about it was service 80 in the 1970s. The first SBS service to use double deckers in 1977, with the first fleet of 20 Leyland Atlanteans double deckers bodied by BACo and Metal Sections.

How about the double decker service 86??? Did it shifted from Tampines Way to Tampines Ave 5 bus terminal??? Or was it withdrawn when the terminal was ready???

Service 22 and service 27 was introduced in 24 Jan 1988 for new links to Ang Mo Kio and Changi Airport Passenger Building. Service 18 was also extened to Tampines interchange from 29 Nov 1987. I think service 28 was also introduced roughly during that time.

28 - To New Bridge Road

Volvo Olympian SG

How about the double decker service 86??? Did it shifted from Tampines Way to Tampines Ave 5 bus terminal??? Or was it withdrawn when the terminal was ready???

Tampines Way and Tampines Ave 5 is 2 different places. Tampines Way is now part of Hougang Ave 3.

SBST390 SG

Service 168 was extended to Hougang South and part of its Orchard Rd route being extended to loop at Tomlinson Rd, renumbering to Service 118 in 1987.

You sure??

SBS8533C SG

How about the double decker service 86???

Double deckers from service 86 were known to have serve 140

SBS8533C SG

You sure??

I think i might be wrong. Service 118 is a new service, the route doesnt seems to be part of the 168 route

Volvo Olympian SG

I think i might be wrong. Service 118 is a new service, the route doesnt seems to be part of the 168 route

Try not to confuse people around here if you did any mistake. thanks

The_Bus_Guide SG

I think i might be wrong. Service 118 is a new service, the route doesnt seems to be part of the 168 route

118 was a new service. 118 and 168 co-existed at one point in time so it was unlikely that 118 was formed as a result of the amendment to 168. This in addition to the different routes and 'loop point' of the two.

168's aircon service was withdrawn earlier and its fleet transferred to 118, which may have given rise to the confusion. 118, although the 3rd aircon service by SBS, was essentially the first full aircon service from new. 168 can be considered as 'partial aircon' while sv. 3, although 'full aircon', was converted from an existing route.

The_Bus_Guide SG

Thanks a lot.

I am very interested to know what happened to Princess Elizaberth bus terminal in the early 1990s, which houses service 192 and 193. What happened to it?

When did SBS 173 went to cover Hillview area?

Any ideas on the above.

I'm certain that 192 never made an appearance in Princess Elizabeth. Its route covered South Canal, Pasir Panjang and eventually to Jurong. 193 came to end at Princess Elizabeth after having its route cut short from Bukit Panjang Circus around 1981. An interesting point for sv. 193 was that it had once served two 'royalties', its route displayed Princess Elizabeth at one end and Prince Edward on the other. This happened after services at Anson Rd terminal was shifted to new facilities at Prince Edward Rd.

173 was the 'pioneer' service for Princess Elizabeth and, as pointed out by 8533C, could've started operations in the pre-SBS era of the early 1970s.

vicamour SG

Is 118 withdrawn in 1990???

So 168 is the first air con service by SBS in 1984, and second is service 3 is in 1987(?), then third is service 118 (1988) and fourh is service 76 (1988) and then service 390 (198_?). Am I right???

I would like to ask,

which air con services in the late 1980s (before Scania N113CRB air con buses are introduced) uses the following air con buses???

- Leyland Victory

- Mercedes Benz O303

- Volvo B10M Vanhool demonstrator

- Nissan Diesel U31

When was the Leyland Victory and Mercedes Benz O303 air con buses deregistered??? I don't see them by the mid 1990s already.

Try not to confuse people around here if you did any mistake. thanks

It's alright. He had made a great effort to post all these history here. It is common to make mistakes here and there.

Help him spot the mistakes instead and together we can correct the list with him. All the things he posted are quite comprehensive. Thumbs up.

Double deckers from service 86 were known to have serve 140

Yep, the BACos were usually seen on 140 while the Metal Sections were last seen on 159 before they are all deregistered in the early 1990s. Leyland Olympians 2 axles were also introduced on 140 when new.

Tampines Way and Tampines Ave 5 is 2 different places. Tampines Way is now part of Hougang Ave 3.

I see. But when was service 86 withdrawn and why???

The housing estate that service 86 served was near Hougang Ave 3, near the mosque (Junction of Tampines Road and Hougang Ave 3)???

4 - Amended to ply from Tampines to St. Michael's Ter in 1992 but it was merged with Service 21 in 1993 and withdrawn.
8 - Amended to ply from Tampines to Toa Payoh in 1992 and amended to serve the vicinity of Temasek Polytechnic Campus in Tampines in 1995.

I thought service 4 was initially from Pasir Ris to St . Michael's terminal, when it was amended to Tampines interchange??? I can't recall.

Service 8 too was initially introduced as Pasir Ris to Toa Payoh. It was then shorten to Tampines interchange in 1993/1994. I remembered the Scania N113CRBs are newly introduced on service 8 in Pasir Ris interchange.

173 was the 'pioneer' service for Princess Elizabeth and, as pointed out by 8533C, could've started operations in the pre-SBS era of the early 1970s.

All right, I made a mistake here. It was service 173 and 193, not 192. Majorities are Volvo B57s.

When was Princess Elizaberth terminal actually closed down for private housing development??? I still see public housing in the 1992 Singapore Street Diectory.

lemon1974 SG

I think i might be wrong. Service 118 is a new service, the route doesnt seems to be part of the 168 route

Sv118 duplicate Sv111 route till Tomlinson Rd if i remember correctly it is not extension of old Aircon sv168.. it does not have any relationship at all.
