when did the old toa payoh interchange appear?
because according to the bus guides 1979-80 at sgwiki, toa payoh
services began from an ambiguous location at "toa payoh centre". in
present day terms, where is the starting point?
why did the services then need to go a big loop about lor 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6 back then? I know there used to be a single loop service
230 which served the whole toa payoh. so how did the 231G/W, former
232G/W, 235, 237 and 238 originate from all these services?
services operating from toa payoh in 1979-80:
73 (from yck), 135 (upp changi rd 13.3km), 137 (zoo), 139 (bt
merah), 140 (prince edward rd), 141 (prince edward rd), 143 (jurong
east 16.2km), 144 (c'wealth ave), 145 (pasir panjang), 146 (pasir
panjang), 147 (c'wealth ave), 148 (c'wealth ave), 149 (prince
edward rd), 150 (crawford st), 151(new bridge rd), 152 (bedok), 153
(bt merah), 155 (upp changi rd 13.3km), 156 (upp serangoon rd), 157
(jurong), 158 (kampong chai chee), 159 (ang mo kio), 230 (feeder),
Stadium sv B.
i.e. 14x n 15x series were historically toa payoh routes?
was there a 142 before 1979, i.e. before sbs was formed? or it only
came about as a potong pasir service later and stayed since? how
about 154, was it a toa payoh service before extended to
macpherson?
