Service 200 still ply North Buona Vista Rd between Holland Rd and Holland Dr in one direction.

tranquilice SG

They plied Bunoa Vista terminal, Holland Dr, Nth Buona Vista Rd and C'wealth Ave.

SBS9818A SG

So it was amended to go by Holland Dr instead of Holland Rd further up? Wonder why.

delonchew SG

Sembawang Road at the junction of Canberra Road and Sembawang Ave. 167 used to ply this stretch before being amended to ply Canberra Road and Canberra Link. Even the orange bus stops are still present.

SBS9818A SG

Oh, that little forgotten stretch?

tranquilice SG

You mean Nth Buona Vista Rd? I guess it's to provide more coverage in Holland V and to serve the pair of stops along C'wealth Ave in both directions.

Superbus SG

Ahh, then were the days BNDEP operated O405s.

Cheers and warm regards

tranquilice SG

What bus types were deployed on service 402?

Superbus SG

If my memory doesn't fail me, Service 402 operates a full fleet of OAC DM O405s.

Cheers and warm regards

tranquilice SG

I remember I saw NAC buses on this service, so I don't think service 402 is FAC.

SBS9818A SG

Any example regos?

Yusry SG

I suppose 119 and 480 (used by 390) were some of those.

The_Bus_Guide SG

A long, long time ago, there was another sv. 402 which plied between Stamford Rd (Capitol Cinema) and the Bt Timah Race Course. This was a special service which was only available during raceday on Sundays.

Yusry SG

Talking about Race Day buses, does CSS still operate those buses?

Superbus SG

If I'm not mistaken, the CSS' Turf Club services ceased operations when the Singapore Turf Club shifted to Kranji. Then SBS took over the operations by introducing several new routes, mostly from HDB heartlands to Kranji Turf Club. The services were underutilised and withdrawn shortly after. Apparently the 'kakis' at Turf Club preferred the MRT.

Cheers and warm regards

Yusry SG

Oh yes. I now remember the Race Day buses by SBS. Were the numbers in the 70x series? Anyone have the routes of these services?

tranquilice SG

I remembered services 781, 782, 786, 787 and 788. All charging flat-fare. If I remember correctly, they were introduced in March 1999 and were withdrawn in Sep 1999.
