Hi all,
I was taken aback when I came across this fabulous interest group
about a couple of days ago. Bus spotting used to be a hobby of mine
when I'm younger, but sadly due to work commitments my interests
waned.
I can still remember during my younger days where the SBS buses are
silver in colour and we have bus conductors, and later OMO
(One-Man-Operation) machines, and later on followed by OTS (One-Man
Ticketing System). By the way, I still know how to draw those
symbols! Hehe. When I was younger, I'd alwats like to press those
rubber strips that were stuck to the roof of the buses - of cos' to
the horror of my mum. Haha. I wonder if today's buses still have
them.
I used to collect a fair bit of bus-guides over the years, the
earliest I remembered was in 198x, where there still was a service
number 1 around. Can't recall where the route plyed, probably from
Changi Village Terminal to somewhere down town. Probably need to go
and ransack all my goodies again to relive to good ol' days.
Does anyone have any good bus sites to recommend? I only know Gakei
website - but would like to know more, especially on the local
scene.
Many thanks to all of you for having rekindled my interests again
in this wonderful hobby!
