TIBS also has SS1 and SS2 (NightRider Services). NR9: Marina Centre - Sembawang Estate. Operated on Fri, Sat and eve of PH. introduced early 2001, withdrawn...

Yusry SG

Still the same. No difference.

SBS9818A SG

I think Bishan St 31 is Sin Ming Ave, Sin Ming Lane is integrated into the HDB area?

freakybuses SG

I think that Bishan St 31 should be Shunfu Rd.... Perhaps the Bishan Town Plan intended to have the area as neighbourhood 3 but was called off as it is far from Bishan Central.

Btw, today's research @ JRL:
Bt Panjang before 1988 was called Zhenghua. Svc 5 used to call at Zhenghua Ter before the name was changed.
Choa Chu Kang West was not developed in 1992.
78 was not the first service at Clementi Int. 76 was the one.

The_Bus_Guide SG

The 78 we know today was a re-introduced version. The original 78 (Clementi - Queensway) was launched together with the official opening of Clementi Interchange in 1980. 78 can be found in the 1980 Guide. 76 (Clementi - Jurong East) only appeared in the 1982 Guide.

Yusry SG

Yes, there was a road called Lorong Cheng Hwa before Bt Panjang was developed. Zhenghua is the Pinyinised version of Cheng Hwa.

Most of the roads in Bt Panjang had former lives as Lorongs. For example, Petir Road was formerly Lorong Petir. But these Lorongs are not in the exact same place as the Roads, though they are found in the vicinity of Bt Panjang.

Btw, is it 284 or 78 which was introduced earlier?

cck_190 SG

Which section did you find about the towns?

freakybuses SG

Take the 1992 Transitlink Guide out and see the west side is empty. A lot of tracks and see what's above CCK Stn... Quite shocked to see that... I would still prefer Punggol if CCK were to be in that state.

cck_190 SG

Ahh...The old Choa Chu Kang. Tell you a bit about Choa Chu Kang. Choa Chu Kang, had a three stage development plan. The first stage, by 1992, was completed. It is Teck Whye. The next stage was Choa Chu Kang West.It was completed in 1994-1996. I think that Yew Tee Development plan wasn't a confirmed plan till 1996, when they reviewed it. Then, after seeing the Choa Chu Kang West plan as a sucessful one, they decided to carry on with Yew Tee.

One more info abt CCK. Back in 198X when the MRT was being planned, there wasn't supposed to be a MRT Stn in CCK, it was supposed to be in Bt Panjang. This might be because during the planning stage, Bt Panjang was more developed than CCK.

freakybuses SG

Even my atlas stated that Bt Panjang should have a MRT. btw, Another MRT Stn which should not be there is Lakeside (instead, it should be in Corporation).

xin1jun2 SG

The_Bus_Guide SG

147 was integrated with 79 (Jurong East - Bras Basah Rd). 78 was withdrawn, I think. These 3 services are redundant, they overlap each other.

freakybuses SG

I thought it should be 79 Jurong East - Empress Pl?

SBS9818A SG

I feel so lost. Looks like I’ll have to stake out Jurong East Library.

freakybuses SG

But O Level is your main priority... btw, taking CL or HCL? CL Orals are coming... I will lessen my visits soon.

Yusry SG

79: Jurong East - Empress Place (later Marina Centre) was merged with service 97, not 147. 147 was merged with 79: Jurong East - North Bridge Road (loop)

cck_190 SG

Are you sure O levels is 9818A's priority?He is a die-hard bus enthusiast,just look at the daily bus rides... Laughing
