many years ago, when CSS and Bus PLus were in thier heyday, they have Turf Club Services from HDB heartlands to Turf Club (Bukit Timah)eg TurfClub.1 ~20
CSS Nissan Buses and bus-plus were used..
Yet another time when Kranji Racecourse were opened, 6 turf club services ran by SBS were introduced. called Turf Club 781, 782, 785, 786, 787, 788.
fares were $2 or $3..
i remembered 786 was from Hougang South via S'goon Nth ave 1,4. fare $3
787 was from yishun

i think noOriginally posted by 5454:Were there any service guides for this services. -
due to poor loads, as mentioned. also high fares were charged for itslong routesdespiteusing expressway. there was also the MRT at its doorstep.. so of course it got ppoor loads and finally withdrawn.. maybe citybuzz will follow suit..Originally posted by SBS9889U:Why were they withdrawn?
note that they served for 6 months.. i think 6 months is the minimum revenue period PTC allows for a service to be introduced and withdrawn (if applicable)
from week 2 they already had poor loads.. they operated on sundays only(and saturday)
786 used MB O405 OAC then..
freq was 30mins/1hour both ways -
there wasnt any service guides for them.. i remembered checking 786 at hougsng south and the buses.Originally posted by 5454:Were there any service guides for this services. -
The CSS ones are the BT
SBS ones were from KRJ -

its good to have a complete collection of the numbers.. like a money collector, or comic book lover, he will want to have everything if possible..Originally posted by SBS9828X:U guys real farni... old svc oso want guides

i sometimes put out all my guides on the floor and admire them
as for selling guides, well, i rather exchange them for other guides or some other things, and IMO, money should never be involved in a "transaction".. come on.. a guide is another piece of paper... i dont go overboard over it... not unless i get a ridiculous offer... if not, i can give away all my guides save one copy one edition.. -
I remember the services only operate whenever there's a race day, on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.Originally posted by 105090:from week 2 they already had poor loads.. they operated on sundays only(and saturday)

turf club and 4D included wednesdays after 1999.. i forgot the date

Anyone has the registration no. of the Turf City buses?

I think they were just normal sbs buses (eg. merz, etc)Originally posted by TIB529A:Anyone has the registration no. of the Turf City buses? -
If u say the present Turf City buses that goes to Toa Payoh, Ang Mo Kio and Clementi or the Turf Club Service.If it is turf Club, I remembered one.788 uses striders..I guessed 2619 D was 788 that time,Originally posted by TIB529A:Anyone has the registration no. of the Turf City buses?
i think all is SBS 261_ in BNDEP..Not sure about the rest. -
Excuse me, Turf CIty and Turf CLub are different things. The Turf CIty buses are SBS Leisure ones with PA plates.Originally posted by TIB529A:Anyone has the registration no. of the Turf City buses?
ANyway, it was quite some time after the opening of the KJ racecourse that the old Turf Club was converted into a shopping mall. -
