loudmonkey SG

think before that 147 operated from JE to Potong Pasir, and it used to operate via Victoria St and Lavender St instead. In Potong Pasir 147 used the white and green plates. Remembered Chaim See Tong was quite vocal when SBS decided to rob 147 from his constitiency, leaving only 142 to service Potong Pasir. Mr. Green

SBS9818A SG

That is correct. Sv. 142 used to operate from Potong Pasir Ter - TPY, also using G/W plates.

Zilchster SG

Svc 162 used to operate from AMK to Geylang Bahru or its Sims Avenue…kinda forgot

Thanks Brother Bus Fans!

freakybuses SG

Can anyone provide the full history of sv 13? Seems like there's lack of info somewhere... IMO, I think that it's impossible for svc 13 from Ghim Moh - Chai Chee svc to become YCK - Eunos svc overnight... somehow what happened in between?

Yusry SG

Here's the continuous history of service 13 and it has NEVER been withdrawn since 1st introduction (excludes STC's service 13).

Bedok Road/Upper Changi Road - Commonwealth Ave
Chai Chee - Commonwealth Ave
Chai Chee - Ghim Moh
Eunos - Ghim Moh
Eunos - Yio Chu Kang
Yio Chu Kang - Marine Parade
Yio Chu Kang - Siglap Road (loop)

The_Bus_Guide SG

Not quite correct there, dude. You got it mixed up with 122. 126 was still St Michael's - New Bridge Road in 1985. It was gone by 1990.

The_Bus_Guide SG

There's a bit more about 131. At first from Balestier Rd - Anson Rd, correct. There was a terminal at Balestier Rd, then. When this terminal closed in 1981, it became a loop service from Anson Rd - Balestier Rd. In 1984, it stopped going to Balestier Rd and looped at Rangoon Rd instead. When Anson Rd terminal closed in 1985 it started from Prince Edward terminal. When Prince Edward closed in 1988, it moved to Shenton Way. 131's route was affected by the CTE tunnel so in 1992, it was extended to end at St Michael's. At the same time, 125's route was shortened to loop at Shenton Way and131 became its replacement, terminating at Bt Merah.

tranquilice SG

Is it? Service 131 extension to St. Michael's was due to the CTE tunnel?

thots SG

any idea where is the location of anson road and price edward terminal?

Yusry SG

Anson Road terminal is now within PSA Tanjong Pagar terminal. Look at the current street directory and extend south end of Anson Road by about a few hundred meters south. It's around there.

For Prince Edward, it's the carpark at Prince Edward Link

SBS9818A SG

Prince Edward Ter, behind the Central / Suria building?

freakybuses SG

anything happened in between?

The_Bus_Guide SG

Nothing happened in between, brother. It just went from Eunos - Ghim Moh to Eunos - Yio Chu Kang "snap" just like that. Amazing, yes, but its true. And it became a full A/C service.

BlessingSatan SG

Yo Brothers,What about sv 170 onwards?
