freakybuses SG Up to 1980, no bus has served the eastern Ang Mo Kio Ave 3… but in early 1980s, only 261 & 263 serving AMK East… why is that so? And then when did svc 25 start using that stretch of AMK Ave 3?
kenmin SG AMK was literally a NEW town then. the development started fr the west in the mid/late 70s and extend eastward… i think ppl only start moving into the east in early 80s? no demand so no bus service…
thots SG i remembered service 25 route was more or less similar to 24 from amk int to boundary rd. anyone can verified that?
Yusry SG Yes. When 24 was introduced, 25 was totally revamped to go via AMK Ave 3 / Hougang Aves 3/2 and Jln Eunos. One could consider service 24 as service 25 being extended to Changi Airport and renumbered 24.
off_service SG Service 130 and 166 are introduced in the early 1980s I think. Service 166 initially operated up to New Bridge Road, then extended to Labrador Park and finally Clementi. Anyone know about the former route of service 130 if any?
off_service SG Not too sure, but it is a very well designed route as it takes a much shorter time to reach Bedok compared to the MRT.
tranquilice SG Service 130 was probably extended to AMK when AMK interchange opened, to provide a link between AMK and Sin Ming.
freakybuses SG 266 introduced sometime in 1981... route was mentioned in 1982 bus guide... 269 sometime in 1985? or perhaps slightly earlier?
