198 should be hgdep control, last time had merc 0305 double decks.
Later cutback to bt merah, became bbdep control.
64 used to be from macpherson estate, amended to sims ave. Full
hgdep all the while.
hougang depot is a fairly new depot. roughly opened in 1988. as
such ur answer is falwed.
198 when brand new was JRDEP based. lots of new new o305 of 198
were 24xx also suggesting it had BNDEP (opened in 1981)
roots.
198 later became Jurong with the LO2x and with O305s from HGDEP,
the other o305 zao to 197 (i think)
when 198 got sliced at mei chin in early 1990, the Lo2x remained
on 198, suggesting 198 became full jurong.
it was only in more recent times when SLBP opened in 1995 then 198
zao to BBDEP. For reasons unknown , but service)_239 suggested off
service running time is short. I once had a BC of 198 tell me about
"the short cut from BBDEp to Boon lay" int , that i din understood
at all..hahah
64 when brand new started from Ulu pandan to macpherson,
suggesting it was of Hock lee origin.
it was later invovled in a big mess of amendmentws involving
190, 191 14 and 32.
(pls refer to the 1969 bus guide in wiki pls)
this was when 64 was under the PJRBP1529 1592 were ran on 64
Much later 64 as u know loop at mei Chin. and ALDEP was still
around
i spotted 1155
1195 1395 1400 on 64.
because 64 ended at Macpherson Est
- it was probably close to BNDEP. as such many BNDEP buses found
its way onto 64. but all these chnaged when HGDEP
opened
and u know the rest of the
story.
