Can anyone confirms whether service 185 had DDs when plying loop
from Choa Chu Kang to Jln Anak Bukit?
Service 300 had DDs when under SBS. For a period of time (think
1997 - 1998), the service was split into 300G (green plate) and
300W (white plate) as the route was amended to ply
bi-directional. This version of the route is shown
in the 1998 Transitlink Guide.
Service 307 under SBS was a townlink service integrated from
service 301 (loop at Teck Whye Lane) and service 303 (loop at St
62).
Service 927 was originally planned to be introduced as SBS
service 137 in 1995, however Tibs was choosen to start
the service with no change in route and Tibs re-numbered
the service to 927 before it was started. The original route
was from the zoo to loop along Mandai Rd, this version of the route
is shown in the 1996 Transitlink Guide. Then in 1996, it was
extended to Choa Chu Kang via BKE and Bt Panjang Rd. Amended again
in 1999 to ply the current route with the amendment of service 171
as a result of Bt Panjang LRT bus rationalisation.
Service 75 was orginally Choa Chu Kang - Marina Centre before it
was shortened to Bt Panjang with the introduction of service
179.
Service 185 was not extended to Lor 1 Geylang. As the Tibs press
release put it, service 185 and service 989 were integrated to
become service 985.
Service 172 was originally Lim Chu Kang - Shenton Way (may has
an earlier version), shortened to loop from Lim Chu Kang to Jln
Anak Bt, then amened to terminate at Boon Lay instead of Lim Chu
Kang with the introduction of service 175. On the day of handover
to Tibs, Tibs changed the route from Boon Lay - Jln Anak Bt (loop)
to Boon Lay - Choa Chu Kang (ie. route was Boon Lay - Jln Anak Bt
(loop) up to the last day under SBS, route was Boon Lay - Choa Chu
Kang from the first day under Tibs.)
