Let me add mine as well !
Good old services
Service
41
Bedok to Bukit Merah, this service was merged with the old 197
to become Bedok 197 Jurong East (current). The fleet was a mixture
of Mercedes O305 from Hougang and Leyland Alanteans from Ayer
Rajah! I often take this service , it was thrilling to be on the
speedy O305 ! Shiok man.
Service
149
Changi Airport to Toa Payoh
Service 31 was extended and 36 was introduced an as a result,
149 was withdrawn. I was delighted when I saw mercedes O405 new x2
on the service but when 149 became partially aircon, I was dismayed
and extremely disappointed that the NAC n113crbs replaced the
mercedes NAC. I remembered 149 had the rego range from 232 all the
way to 238 if I am not wrong.
Service
196
Marine Parade to Jurong
I cannot forget the O305 on the services ! Of course at
that time they also had the LA buses from BNdepot , I wanted the
LAs to be totally replaced by the O305s but when the Boon Lay
interchange was newly opened at that point of time, 196 was
one of the services that was transferred to there and as a result ,
LO 2 axles took over the O305s . That is ok but later on was
shortened to Clementi and it became a full fleet LA ! But later on
the service became partial aircon , the aircon perm buses that 196
had before were, 35B, 38T, 43C, 44A,50G,75K, 78C ,227P,228L,229J
and a few others I think I had missed out.
