Svc 24 had its route intact except for the shifting of AMK Int since Sunday, 25th June 1983. that's the best info i've got.. 1978? i dun think so..

Svc 82, i suppose, also had almost its route intact since 1978.. which is Punggol to Shenton Way area..

Svc 170, with no changes (Johore Bahru - Queen Street) since before 1973 except for Johore side.. once operated by United Bus Company (UBC) before amalgamation in 1973 to form SBS..

I guess it's services 2, 7, 9, 10 and 14. They may have existed as early as 1978.

Service 82 has changed its route before, from Upp Serangoon Rd/Hougang Ave 8 to Hougang Ave 2/Ave 10.

Regarding Svc 82.. that is a minor change lah.. we have to consider Area-to-area similarities without too much changes to its general route.. or else quite hard since other than Singapore sector of Svc 170, i dun think the rest escaped urbanisation..
