Today's 199 is entirely different to what it used to be. Firstly, the entrance to Nanyang Uni used to be at Upp Jurong Rd. In 1980, the route was as follows:
Jurong Interchange, Jurong Port Rd, Corporation Rd, Boon Lay Way, Jln Boon Lay, Upp Jurong Rd, Nanyang Ave, Upp Jurong Rd, Jln Boon Lay, Boon Lay Way, Corporation Rd, Jurong Port Rd and Jurong Interchange
Amendment in 1984.
Jurong Interchange, Jurong Port Rd, Corporation Rd, Boon Lay Way, Jln Boon Lay, Upp Jurong Rd, Nanyang Ave, Nanyang Cres, Nanyang Circus, Nanyang Ave, Upp Jurong Rd, Jln Boon Lay, Boon Lay Way, Corporation Rd, Jurong Port Rd and Jurong Interchange.
The entrance from Jalan Bahar did not appear until 1985 and the route changed as follows:
Jurong Int, Jurong Port Rd, Corporation Rd, Boon Lay Way, Jln Boon Lay, Jln Bahar, Nanyang Ave, Nanyang Cres, Nanyang Circle, Nanyang Dr, Nanyang Ave, Jln Bahar, Jln Boon Lay, Boon Lay Way, Corporation Rd, Jurong Port Rd and Jurong Int.
Slight change in 1988.]

Boon Lay Int, Boon Lay Way, Jln Boon Lay, Jln Bahar, Nanyang Ave, Nanyang Cres, Nanyang Dr, Nanyang Ave, Jln Bahar, Jln Boon Lay, Boon Lay Way and Boon Lay Int.
Slight amendment in 1991 when 174 was amended to Boon Lay.
Boon Lay Int, Boon Lay Way, Jln Boon Lay, Jln Bahar, Nanyang Ave, Nanyang Dr, Nanyang Cres, Nanyang Dr, Nanyang Ave, Jln Bahar, Jln Boon Lay, Boon Lay Way and Boon Lay Int.
