Do you guys know of any trivia about buses in Singapore that
others might not know or have some misinformation about? It can be
regarding anything - the buses, engines, interchanges, and so
on.
Let me start by sharing one that I know:
Bedok Bus Interchange is not only the oldest bus interchange still
surviving today, it is the only bus interchange to receive/once
received all of the following:
- SBS Transit, SMRT, and CSS buses, all in one go (the only other
interchange to have this now is Bukit Merah Bus Interchange)
- bendy buses from both SMRT and SBS Transit (Sadly, SBS Transit
had sold their bendy buses off to New Zealand. The only other bus
interchange that had this honour is Tampines Bus Interchange)
- buses that are powered by both diesel and C.N.G. (Only Toa Payoh,
Serangoon, Eunos, and HabourFront bus interchanges - besides Jurong
East and Boon Lay - can claim this)
- having both single-deck and double-deck low floor buses (Pasir
Ris, Toa Payoh, Sengkang, HabourFront, Jurong East, Serangoon, and
possibly Eunos bus interchanges are the other interchanges that can
lay claim to this)
No other bus interchange can lay claim to all four "honours" at the
same time
