Integration Svcs, Introduction of New Svcs, Withdrawn Svcs

SBS9816E SG

Hey pple. For this topic, we will look back to some services that have been integrated, withdrawn or introduced.

Backdated to 1993, Serangoon Bus Interchange has Svc 72 n Svc 312. If I am not wrong, Svc 312 travelled from S'goon Bus Interchange n looped at S'goon Ave 3. If I am not wrong, it was withdrawn at the middle of the yr 1993. Svc 72 was withdrawn at 1992, if I am not wrong. It served b/w Serangoon Int and Tanhong Rhu (loop). It was taken over by Svc 158. Svc 104 (S'goon - New Bridge Rd) was withdrawn by then.

On Yr 1998, Svc 72 was extended from its existing route (YCK to AMK Ave 5) to YCK to Tampines.

On 12/12/1999, Service 864, 865, and 866 were renumbered. Svc 864 was integrated with Svc 84 and renumbered as Svc 80. 865 and 866 were renumbered as 85 and 86 respectively.

Any more additions? Juz add them in! =)

Fang Sheng, Sv. 134 did go to New Bridge Road from Bishan, correct? In that case, it was replaced by Sv. 54, going by an entirely different route. Fang Sheng, how about posting info of ALL the bus routes that HAVE been to Bishan?

oliver_yuen87 SG

was it 16 or 16E that used to go airport?

SBS9818A SG

Sv. 16 and Sv.16E used to go to the airport. However Sv. 16E only operated during peak hours if I’m not mistaken(can someone clarify?)

oliver_yuen87 SG

Found my 1997 Transitlink Guide!! Yes, you are correct. 16E did not turn into Marine Parade and 16 did not go to Marine Parade via expressway

tranquilice SG

During that time, svc 16 operates from Changi Airport to Bukit Merah via ECP, Marine Parade, Joo Chiat, city and Tiong Bahru. Later in Sep 1998, amended to serve between Bukit Merah and Marine Parade (Siglap Rd).

Svc 16E is a peak-hour service to supplement svc 16. It plys one-way from Bukit Merah to the airport in the morning peak and return one-way in the evening peak. The route difference is that svc 16E travel express on ECP all the way from the airport before exiting at Rochor Rd, Beach Rd, then resume its route with svc 16 at city hall MRT. Svc 16E was renumbered svc 36 in Dec 1997. In Sep 1998, SBST amended the route of svc 36 to become the present route.
