O305s didn't remain long in JR. When the LO3Xes arrived the former were all transferred to East Dist (HG). Later a small number moved over to AM, classic example being 2583 (HG 154 >> AM 166).

One example was service 7, I remembered riding on the MB0305s when I was young. There were LAs too if I am not wrong. Somewhere in 1987 the next batch of LO3x came into service 7, the LAs were withdrawn.

I remembered in the past HGDEP seems to be having most of the MB0305s. Last seen them on services like 74, 153, 154, 165. Some feeders like 322, 328, 385 ever had MB0305s before.

In 2001 all the MB0305s were phased out. That was when SBST bought 20 fleets of Dennis Tridants and were given to HGDEP.

the last few of its Mercedes-Bnez O305 buses was de-registered in Jan 2002.. whereby 7111 and 7112 was the last to leave SBS. But btw, the new LO3x buses were placed on service 7 on the 3rd quarter of 1993.

When VO2x came in to service 74 perm, most of its MB O305 buses were taken off from service and running around as a SP bus on 153, 154, 165 and 385, at a very short while as well before it lay up and de-registrered. However the MB O305s that serves HG feeders 321, 322, 326, 327 and 328 were replaced by VO2x.

SERVICE 70 HISTORY

In 1971, it was from Jalan Kayu (RAF Selrtar) to Lor 5 Geylang Terminsu via Yio Chu kang Rd, Upp Serangoon Rd, Upp paya Lebar Rd, Paya Labar Rd and Lor 5 Geylang.

In 1975, service 70 was called to serve the Picadilly Circus and Seletar West Camp before turning out to Jln Kayu and continue its route all the way to Lor 5 Geylang Ter wnd later Prince Edward Rd Ter.|

In 1978, when Service 214E (Jln Kayu-Picadilly) and 214W (Jln Kayu-Selertar West Camp) introduced, service 70 was being separated away from the boundaries of RAF seletar roads and instead terminate at Jln Kayu ter.

The servic was later being amended to Shenton Way terminal when Prince Edward Rd terminal closed down.

Service 70 was amended to Yio Chu kang Terminal in 1992.

In 2000, a variant service 70# was introcuded from Yio chu akng to Suntec city (Loop) service on weekday night,Saturdays, Sundays & PHs. This service was known as 70X.

In 2001, amended to ply along Yio Chu Kang Rd and Boundary Rd instead of Yio CHu Kang Link

SERVICE 70 HISTORY

In 2000, a variant service 70# was introcuded from Yio chu akng to Suntec city (Loop) service on weekday night,Saturdays, Sundays & PHs. This service was known as 70X.

it terminated at Geylang Lor 1 somewhere somehow then when Suntec was more developed they extended it to loop there.

Anyone knows the former deployments of 67 & 188 in its SBS times?

188 was under JRBP. The fleets were made up of: LO2xs and Merczs. The perms I remember were as follows: SBS7120S, SBS453C etc........

So, 188 is another Choa Chu Kang service which was under JRBP instead of BBDEP, other than 175.

HUMBLE DAYS OF CITY SHUTTLE SERVICES

Why CSS was borned on the 16 May 1975?
This is one of the good question. CSS was introduced both by SSB & NTUC Comfort, which alleviates the road traffic congestions along the CBD area, which is better known as the Park And Ride Scheme.

With the scheme, commuters can park their cars at the 16 designated CSS fringe car parks (which I'll mentioned at the later parts) and take the CSS services from that fringe car parks. But only a big failure was --- the Fringe Car Parks is a wasteless facility because not many park their cars since the car parks has many parking lots that no one bothers to use them.

Hmm, perhaps i have missed out the Bus stop notations for the CSS services. Also note that some of the bus stops are used as terminating points for some CSS Services.

Anyone knows the former deployments of 67 & 188 in its SBS times?

188 (Jurong west st 91 version)

likely Merc OF 1113s . later when the NZMB merc OF1417 finally came in, they upgraded to that. Svc 188 did not live long enough to see mark 2s.

another 188 appeared in the 21st century era. This one had Lo2x even. More noticably it took in many ex svc 172 Merc O405. one of them being SBS511 whom i seem to have a fasicnation with. (it died stalk me on svc 188). even today when is ee SBS511 i remember its 172 days.

ZYX2005 SG

the Jurong Bus Interchange started off as a bus Interchange with a small maintaning and refuelling section at the corner of the Interchnage.

much later the two were divided and the corner with maintainance facilities became a full fledged bus depot.

the shell petrol kisok standing there today marks the boundaries between the two compouds. the trailer park was once the bus int. a small entrance to knowhere marks the former entrance to the int from the AYE side.

SBS8533C SG

It's been a while for me to contribute the history of bus services. hmm, let's see what I'll should contribute, maybe I'll go for the Yishun bus services

I'll go briefly on how Yishun New town was developed. Initially, that part of the Sembawang Rd (around Nee Soon/Chong Pang Village) stretch stands 2 new blocks (Blks 101, 102 and the 4 precedding blocks 103-106) around the small satellite town which was known as Nee Soon new town. Even its road name was known as Nee Soon Ave 5, Nee Soon ring Rd before Nee Soon new town was renamed as Yishun new Town because this town was expected to expand its developemnt on other parts and fully developed by the end of 1989, other blocks in the 7xx series (blks 701, 702, etc) were still under construction, although villages/kampongs were cleared due to the redevelopemnt of the residential area. With the renaming of the New Town, the roads were also being renamed as Yishun Ring Rd, Yishun Ave 5, etc

Now let's go on to its bus services.

It's very obvious that none of its bus services catering at the pre-development of Yishun New Town. However, noticably some of the bus services that ply along Sembawang Rd like 160, 161, 164, 167 & 169, although those service served along the block of HDB flats that are situated adjacently to Sembawang Rd.

Those 5 services were then handed over to TIBS in 1983, and as early as 1984, because Yishun fall under the Northern boundaries of Singapore, the services as well were fully operated by TIBS, with the rapid developemnt of the Yishun New Town. There were only 4 services from TIBS at the start, 2 were feeders and the ohter 2, were trunk services.

Feeders:
800 - Yishun Ave 5 to Yishun St 71 (Loop)
801 - Yishun Ave 5 to Yishun Ave 7 (Loop)

Trunks:
850 - Yishun Central to Bt Merah (via Thomson Rd and enters Marina Centre on Suns & PHs))
851 - Ysihun Central to Bt Merah

Both Yishun Ave 5 and Yishun Central terminus was only a small temporary bus terminal for feeders and trunk services respectively, awaiting for its bus interchange to be completed in 1987, which generally coupled conveniently to the new Yishun MRT station and the proposed shopping Centre at the Yishun Town Centre (presently known as Northpoint).

Before the interchange opened to the public in 1987, here was the newly introduced services that operated from Yishun Ave 5 and Yishun Central Terminus in additional to 800,801,850, 851.

Feeders From Yishun Ave 5
802 - Yishun Ave 5 to Yishun Ave 3 (Loop) [ introduced in 1986]
803 - Yishun Ave 5 to Yishun St 61 (Loop) [introduced in 1987]

853 - Yishun to Marine Parade/Lor 1 Geylang [introduced in 1987]

What about Choa Chu Kang and Bt Batok Services?

How did they came about?

vicamour SG

Thanks for the info for Yishun.

How about Pasir Ris before the 90s, when services 4, 8, 12, 350, 351 and 403 came in 1990???

Some correction on Yishun

800 did not call St 71 until late 80s (88/89). Its earliest variant looped around N1 via Ave 5,2,7,Sembawang Road,Ave 5.

802 and 803 NEVER started from Ave 5. 802 started from the old roadside terminal back in 85/86 and 803 was introduced as a new service when the current interchange opened.

Start dates of Yishun trunks

850: 85

851: 85

852: 86

853: 86

854: 87,

855: 88/89

Let's move on to the next episode of the history of bus srvices in the 3 towns -- Choa Chu Kang, Bt Batok and Pasir Ris, but let me start off for the Choa Chu Kang first. Hmm, maybe I should add on Lim Chu kang as well. The Bt Batok & Pasir Ris bus service history are on separate posts.

==== CHOA CHU KANG / LIM CHU KANG BUS SERVICES HISTORY ====

In the pre-1971 re-organisation, Choa Chu Kang bus services were operated by Green Bus Co Ltd, serving the rural districts of Choa Chu Kang and also Lim Chu Kang areas, coupled with RAF Tengah along Choa Chu Kang Rd.

Green Bus 2 from Lim Chu kang to Queen St via Bt Timah Rd/Duneran Rd
this service will divert to Choa Chu kang Rd (End), around kampoung bereh/CCK village on certain timings.

Green Bus 8 from RAF Tengah to Union Jack Club, North Bridge Rd
this service operated only on fridays, sats and suns. Its opperations from RAF tengah was from 6-8pm and from Union Jack Club (North Bridge Rd), from 12am - 12.20am

Green Bus 9 from Tg Kilng to Choa Chu Kang Rd (end)
this service runs from tg kilng at jurong via Boon Lay Rd and unnamed road leading to Choa Chu Kang Rd.

On 11 April1971, the day of the re-organisation, the services fall under the UBC Group. 1 bus service to CCK and the another to LCK.

UBC 172 - from Lim Chu kang to Prince Edward Rd (integrates with former Green Bus 2 & 8, convert to full day service)
UBC 206 - from Choa Chu kang Rd end to Tg Kilng (former Green Bus 9)

Somewhere in 1971, UBC 206 was extended to Lim Chu Kang Rd End, while continuing to serve the Choa Chu kang Rd End sector.

Int the 1974 reorganisation, service 172 amended to skip Choa Chu Kang Rd End, while a new service 179 from Lim Chu Kang to Upp Bt Timah Rd was introduced and runs via the entire stretch of Upp BT timah Rd and Choa Chu kang Rd.

In 1977/78, another new service 177 from Choa Chu Kang Rd End to Upp Bt Timah Rd was also introduced and runs parallel on the service 179 (for part of Choa Chu Kang Rd (starting from the junction of Lim Chu Kang Rd/Jln Bahar), Upp Bt Timah Rd, Jln Anak Bukit sector). It was noticed that 177 was amended to start its trip from Upp Bt Timah Rd and loops at Choa Chu kang Rd End.

In 1978, service 206 was amended to call at Jurong Interchange, as part of the Jurong Bus Service Rationalisation.

However, in the early 1980s, with the amendment of 177, service 179 was withdrawn and part of its route were covered by 177. Service 177 was withdrawn in 1985.

Now, let's move on to the present generations of Choa Chu Kang. The part of Teck Whye Lane was starting to develop in rapid succession in the 1980s, with the mass clearing of squatters/ villages to make way for the HDB development. the 32 blocks of 1-story SIT flat were also being cleared to make way as well.

The only terminus in Choa Chu Kang was situated at Choa Chu Kang Dr, with 3 services terminating there, mainly 75, 179 and 185, before the actial location at Choa Chu Kang Ave 4, which is also located to the Choa Chu Kang branch line of the MRT on 10 Mar 1990.

75 - Choa Chu Kang to Marina Centre [service extended from Clementi and extended to Marina Centre]
179 - Choa Chu Kang to New Bridge Rd [service extended from Bt Batok]
185 - Choa Chu Kang to Shenton Way [new service]

With the interchange opening, 2 new feeder services were introduced, services 300 and 301, and TIBS SS7 was introduced later in 1990, to cater residents of Choa Chu Kang to Woodlands new Town, when the Woodlands MRT extension is planned and began its construction as early as 1992/93.

Services in Choa Chu Kang in 1990:
75 - Choa Chu Kang to Marina Centre
179 - Choa Chu Kang to New Bridge Rd (withdrawn)
185 - Choa Chu Kang to Shenton Way (was shortened to Jln Anak Bukit in 1992)
190 - Choa Chu Kang to New Bridge Rd
300 - Choa Chu Kang to Choa Chu Kang Ave 3 (Loop)
301 - Choa Chu Kang to Teck Whye Lane (Loop)
SS7 - Choa Chu Kang to Woodlands.

Service that are withdrawn/amended/introduced after 1990, LCK services are included as well [amendments shown in bracket]:
67 - Choa Chu Kang to Tampines [Introdced on 26 May 1991, merged with service 4 and it serves Bedok North Ave 3, New Upp Changi Rd, Lavender St]
75 - Choa Chu Kang to Marna Centre [service shortened to Bt Panjang in 1993, with the introduction of new Service 179 from Choa Chu Kang to Fajar Rd]

When 172 handed over to TIBS in 1999, it was shortened to CCK int instead of looping at Upp Bt Timah Rd]
175 - Lim Chu Kang to Upp Bt Timah Rd (Loop) [Service introduced on 18 Jul 1993. When Choa Chu Kang Rd was closed in stages, it plys along Sg Tengah Rd, Brickland Rd, CCK Ave 4. Service was then amended to Bt Panjang and loop at LCK in 2005, service was renumbered to 975]

Some things you might not have noticed:
When SBS won its contract for the NEL Line, the Sengkang services from TIBS had to be handed over to SBS, while SBS handed the service 190 to TIBS and 864, 865 and 866 was handed to SBS, which so-called the exchange between Sengkang/Jln Kayu services and Choa Chu Kang services.
