I think the service was withdrawn because it duplicates the EW Line from Eunos all the way to Tiong Bahru. If you see the route clearly, you'll know what I mean. And even though LTA has given the approval that bus services can now run parallel to MRT Lines, SBST may not want to do this.

Service 50 plied Beach Rd which is a distance away from EWL, so the service only duplicated part of EWL between Eunos and Redhill. I think service 100 is the replacement for its route between Geylang area and Shenton Way area.Originally posted by kenny_cai:I think the service was withdrawn because it duplicates the EW Line from Eunos all the way to Tiong Bahru.

I dun think SV140 ply shenton way. It goes to orchard road. It should be SV141, which operate during peak hours, and go to Cecil Street, using the very old DDs of which the front desto, is very small.Originally posted by ^tamago^:Buses tat plied by Shenton Way in 1980 (tat's a lot!):

.....
maybe u can check out the 1980-81 bus guides in doc format.
interestingly, 141 is missed out. maybe u guys can do a better job using Ctrl+F.
as i said before, in the old times they liked to use xx0 for shenton way services.
