tranquilice SG Services 43 to 50 existed, they were all withdrawn in the 1980s. I remember the routes of these services were posted somewhere in this forum, just couldn't remember where. Service 60: Plied between MacPherson terminal and Shenton Way, withdrawn between 1988 and 1991. Re-introduced in Nov 2002, when services 226 and 385 merged and re-numbered. Service 61: Handed to tibs in Sep 2000. Changed route in Kallang Bahru area last year. Service 62: Plied between Hougang South and Rumah Tinggi, shortened to New Bridge Rd in 1993. Amended to ply present route in Dec 2003. Service 63: Re-introduced in 1993 when service 62 was shortened. Merged with service 382 in Nov 2002 and extended to Eunos. Service 64: Amended to terminate at Sims Place instead of MacPherson, when merged with service 198 in 1993 and therefore skip Orchard Rd/Blvd and Tanglin Rd. Service 65: Guess there's no route change from the 1990s. Service 66: Plied between Tampines and Jurong East in the 1980s, shortened to Bedok later. Service 67: Introduced in 1993, duplicated then service 23 between Tampines and Little India via PIE and Bendemeer Rd. Amended to ply current route by merging with service 4. Current route between Tampines interchange and Sims Ave/Geylang Rd is the former service 4 route. Handed to tibs in Dec 1999. Service 68: Introduced in June 2003. No route change. Service 69: Introduced in Sep 1995, when Temasek Polytechnic shifted to Tampines. No route change. 7x series will be posted later.
SBS9818A SG All I know is : Sv. 70X - YCK to Lor 1 Geylang Sv. 72 - YCK to AMK Ave 5 (which part?) Sv. 73 - TPY to S'goon North Sv. 76 - YCK to Siglap (no change) Sv. 77 - Marina Ctr - Kheam Hock Rd (Loop) Correct so far?
Yusry SG 72 looped at outside Seagate Building. 77 officially is a Farrer Road service since it does NOT call at Dunearn, Kheam Hock and Bukit Timah roads.
tranquilice SG 70X: correct 72: correct. Near Serangoon Nth Ave 6. 73: wrong 76: correct but there is a change in route 77: correct
The_Bus_Guide SG Well, if count 1988 in: 70 - Jln Kayu to Shenton Way 71 - Old Upp Thomson to Geylang Lor 1 72 - S'goon to Tg Rhu 73 - Toa Payoh to Ang Mo Kio. In the early 90s, it looped at S'goon North Ave 5. 74 - Ang Mo Kio to Clementi. Was it ever extended to Upp Serangoon? Which amendment came first, Buona Vista or Hougang Central? 75 - Started from Clementi initially. Had it been extended to Bt Panjang by 1988? 76 - I've fond memories of the orignal 76. Please see another post. 77 - Was it still Ang Mo Kio to Bendemeer Rd in 1988? 78 - The first service in Clementi. Launched with the opening of Clementi Interchange in 1980. 79 - Fond memories too. Please see another post.
The_Bus_Guide SG These 2 services were etched in my memory during my 4 years of living in Jurong East St. 24 (1984-198 76 (OMO 40c) - Clementi Interchange to Jurong East Ave 1 (loop) 76 was the first service to Jurong East New Town. It was introduced in 1984 and provided a vital connection from the infant town to the nearest developed town (ie. Clementi). When Jurong East Interchange was opened in June 1985, sv. 76 was amended to start from Jurong East and loop at Clementi Interchange. It was withdrawn by years' end because there were other services (namely 7, 147 and 333) which shared its route. 79 - Jurong East Terminal to Bras Basah Rd (loop) 79 got the dubious honour of being the first trunk service in Jurong East. It was also introduced in 1984 and mostly followed the route of 147. In fact, its demise was due to its integration with 147. 79 made a comeback in June 1985, plying from the new Jurong East Interchange to Empress Place, its route similar to that of 97 today (ie. via AYE and Alexandra Rd). The second demise of 79 was caused when 97 (which originally plied via Clementi Rd and Pasir Panjang Rd) was amended to ply 79's route instead. Seemingly attached to Jurong East, it made its second comeback there in 1993, this time going to Boon Lay Interchange. Its present route came after an amendment made in 1994.
Zilchster SG 73 used to terminate in Yio Chu Kang...before it was amended to Serangoon North Avenue 5...prior to YCK...did it go to Upper Thomson? 71 was Upp Thomson Rd End. 70 was Jalan Kayu
BlessingSatan SG Ok,Now 80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100 ps:I really forgot about how the services was introduced(Amended,withdrawn,shortened) Thanks!
freakybuses SG I only know about 82 and 83, both starting from Punggol Ter. 83 ended in NBR but not sure about 82. 86 started from Tampines Way Ter. P.S: I am better in 13x services. wait till my turn comes.
The_Bus_Guide SG 97 - Hougang to Jurong East -> Hougang Central to Jurong East -> Jurong East to Suntec City/Marina Centre 97 is one of the first and the longest serving bus in Jurong East. Introduced in 1984, its original route was via Pasir Panjang Rd and Clementi Rd before entering the AYE (then known as Ayer Rajah Road). It was amended via Alexandra Rd when 79 was withdrawn circa. 1986/87. In 1994, it was extended to the new Hougang Central Interchange via Hougang Ave 2 and 10. In 2003, it was shortened to loop at Suntec City/Marina Centre as part of SBS's bus rationalisation with the commencement of the NEL.
The_Bus_Guide SG 98 - Jurong East Interchange to Jurong Interchange -> Jln Ahmad Ibrahim -> Jurong Pier Rd 98 is another old timer in Jurong East. Introduced in 1985, it was originally a loop service to the old Jurong Interchange. Its original route was via Corporation Rd from Jurong West Ave 1. In 1990, when Jurong Interchange was closed, it was made to loop at Jln Ahmad Ibrahim like the present 98A. In 1992, 247, which runs from Boon Lay to Jurong Pier Rd, was integrated with 98. At the same time, it was amended via Jurong West St 51 and Boon Lay Way to form the present route.
The_Bus_Guide SG 99 - Jurong East to Boon Lay Drive -> Clementi to Jurong West St 91 99 was introduced in 1985 from Jurong East to Boon Lay Garden, looping at Boon Lay Dr. I'm not sure whether it was withdrawn and then re-introduced or whether it was amended/integrated with 76. What I know was that in 1988, it was doing its present destinations. Route was slightly different. From Boon Lay Ave, it went via Boon Lay Dr, Boon Lay Way, Jln Boon Lay, Upp Jurong Rd and Pioneer Rd North. In 1990, it was amended via Jurong West St 72 and Ave 5 when flats in that neighbourhood were completed and occupied. At the same time, it skipped turning into Boon Lay Dr as the traffic light junction of Jln Boon Lay and Boon Lay Ave was ready.
The_Bus_Guide SG 92 - Paya Lebar Airport (Jln Ang Teng) to Alexandra Rd (outside Alexandra Hospital) -> Jln Ang Teng to Depot Rd -> Clementi to Paya Lebar Airport One of the 5 services which went to Paya Lebar Airport (then a civilian airport), I guess it was introduced with the airport's opening in the 1970s. (When did Paya Lebar Airport open, anyway?) It originally looped?/terminated? outside Alexandra Hospital but in 1983 it was made to loop at Depot Rd (os HUDC, where 274 now makes a u-turn). In 1985, it was amended to start from Clementi and loop at Paya Lebar. 92 was integrated with 14 in 1993. 92 - Science Park Dr to Mt Sinai Dr Sv. M1 was re-numbered as 92 in 1997.
The_Bus_Guide SG 93 - Paya Lebar Airport (Jln Ang Teng) to Alexandra Rd (Labrador) -> Labrador to Paya Lebar Airport -> World Trade Centre to Paya Lebar Airport -> World Trade Centre (Harbourfront) to Eunos 93 is an old timer. Although its point to point destinations have changed but its route, for most part, has been intact since the 70s. One of the so called airport bus, it originally plied from Paya Lebar Airport to Labrador. When Paya Lebar Airport was turned into a military airport in 1981, it was made to loop there instead. In 1985, it was extended to the new World Trade Centre Terminal (now known as Harbourfront). In 1993, it stopped going to the airport and was extended to terminate at Eunos.
The_Bus_Guide SG 96 - Clementi to Kent Ridge Cres 96 was introduced in 1984 as a feeder service to NUS (OMO 40c). Route unchanged but operation hours changed for Sundays and Public Holidays. Initially, no operation on these days but later on there were but only until 2100 hrs. I have seen students who didn't realise this fact waiting forlornly at Clementi Interchange after the last bus had departed. So in 2000, it was extended to 2300 hrs.
