Here's the continuous history of service 13 and it has NEVER been withdrawn since 1st introduction (excludes STC's service 13).Originally posted by bluezombie10:question for svc 13:
i noticed that svc 13 was originally a kg chai chee to ghim moh service originally, and that it was extended to bedok interchange when chai chee terminal was demolished. afterwards, it became a bedok - ghim moh service. when did the service change to the previous Eunos - Yio Chu Kang service? was the service re-introduced?
Bedok Road/Upper Changi Road - Commonwealth Ave
Chai Chee - Commonwealth Ave
Chai Chee - Ghim Moh
Eunos - Ghim Moh
Eunos - Yio Chu Kang
Yio Chu Kang - Marine Parade
Yio Chu Kang - Siglap Road (loop)
Yio Chu Kang - Upper East Coast
Nothing happened in between the 2 bold lines, brother. It just went from Eunos - Ghim Moh to Eunos - Yio Chu Kang "snap" just like that. Amazing, yes, but its true. And it became a full A/C service -
yes it did ply marine terrace.Originally posted by bluezombie10:Service 15: Re-introduced in 1995. Between Pasir Ris interchange and Eunos interchange. In 1997, merged with service M4 and extended to Marine Parade. Used to ply Marine Cres in both directions and Marine Terrace towards Pasir Ris, sectors deleted later. --> i believe this service only plied marine crescent for both directions only, never did ply marine terrace for return trip to pasir ris. -
That's right. The extra holder was originally intended to hold a gold coloured plaque indicating "Service Of The Month". Then, when the first buses with all over ads came out, they are used to hold a white plastic plate with the SBS logo on it in red. Later still, the holders were used for small ads.Originally posted by lemon1974:The 2 side desto holders, were not meant for the above. SBS have introduced some best services awards more than 10 years ago. awarding some services best services of the month. And these services got to display a side plate (which is gold in colour i think), indicating it is best service of the month. That why there is two side desto plate.... SV155 once got this best service award. -
now i remember... lots on mk2 and 3 but not sure bout O405 though...Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:That's right.

Nobody really knows that certain buses like Seddon, Ford R226, Bedford, MB OF1113, various Albion models and even Isuzu BDTIZCHSS (SBS1517X) were used on or transferred to SBS fleet. I had already updated the fleet on SGWIKI.

It did happen a few times, especially during times of festivals, like Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, etc.Originally posted by sBs_boy:Show me the Ticket or a pix and i'll believe what youve said... -

The O405 have them too. The ones which don't have them are those with the side desto box. In other words, the buses which came after 1993.Originally posted by SBS9828X:now i remember... lots on mk2 and 3 but not sure bout O405 though... -

Tampines St 83) and Svc 291 (Tampines Tampines St 33) was merged to form Townlink 291 in 1996. -

I also missed Volvo B57, MB OF1413 & MB OF1417. I always took Svc 343 from Bt Panjang before taking over by Tibs. When Svc 343 was taken over by Tibs, the buses used by SBS were gone and some were still on service until they reached the end of the statutory life-span.
I knew the Volvo B57 were shipped to Ireland, and retired there in Sep 2004.
I also saw an LA plied on Svc 865 before in 1999. (SBS5604B)
Anyway, the 2 NAC buses plied on NR1 in 2000 (Hino HT238K), were charged the same flat rate of $3. The front desto is blank but they placed the NR1 plate on the front windscreen. Rare chance to see 2 NAC buses plying on NightRider Services.

Some people must be complaining not to get their money worth sitting in NAC NR service, especially if it's a warm night. Then again, those cold types will be thankful.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:Anyway, the 2 NAC buses plied on NR1 in 2000 (Hino HT238K), were charged the same flat rate of $3.

That's why not many people are taking the NAC buses when they ply on NR1.Originally posted by PhyrePhox:Some people must be complaining not to get their money worth sitting in NAC NR service, especially if it's a warm night. Then again, those cold types will be thankful. -

svc 292 original route was tampines central 1, central 2, ave 5, ave 2, st 22, ave 2, ave 5, central 2 and central 1. it was amended to ply st 11 for the benefits of the residents there in the late 80s.
sbv 297 was amended in 1990, when dunman sec sch was re-located from its old site at tg katong rd.
i had previously lived at tampines between the period of 1984 to 1993. -
funny thing was that there was never a svc 296. had expected it to be introduced to cover tampines ave 6, st 71 area if not for the townlink svc plan.Originally posted by SBS9828X:+++ 296 and 291? wen was it?
291 was introduced in between the period 1994 when st 31 estate was ready. -
