No. Sv 190 was BBDEP bus back then. So a lot of Double decks than single decks

Apex-LW'21 SG

Sv 190 also used LAs, OF1417s & Mk IIs. I believe that SBS Nissan buses were used on 190 long time ago.

Edgar_Davids SG

until 1992, Sv 190 uses 0405s DMs when those volvo mk 3 and 4 were not on the roads yet

Sv67's MK4s are Striders, same as Sv185 but Sv67 also had Scania OACs. Sv300 had VO2xs.

MingFreeman SG

Was the route of the 190 changed when it switched to TIBS?

Apex-LW'21 SG

AFAIK, No. That was in Jul99. The 190 route only changes when the LRT opened in Nov1999.

Apex-LW'21 SG

Sv 177 used Volvo B57s if I'm not wrong.

Volvo Olympian SG

190 originally from Bukit Panjang to New Bridge Rd. In 1992 , It was extended to CCK after CCK Int was opened.

Volvo Olympian SG

Yes. 188 was around at that time. 188 use LO2X before.

Volvo Olympian SG

Sv 176 use to have the MK2 DM NAC before in 1994.

Volvo Olympian SG

Feeder Service 301 and 303 were merge to become Sv 307 in 1997
