Any more to add? -
how come there is a bus rationalisation in 1993? due to opening of MRT? or just a major bus rationalisation excersise (to improve service), similar like TIBS in BP/CCK a few yrs ago?

Whatever happened in BPJ/CCK was largely due to SLRT becoming operational. However, I see no logic in chopping up 172 and withdrawing 5.Originally posted by 105090:how come there is a bus rationalisation in 1993? due to opening of MRT? or just a major bus rationalisation excersise (to improve service), similar like TIBS in BP/CCK a few yrs ago? -

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe current service 63 was already operating from Rumah Tinggi terminal when reintroduced in 1993, to cover part of route of service 62 which was shortened to New Bridge Rd.Originally posted by iveco:62: Shortened from Rumah Tinggi to New Bridge Rd.
63: Amended to operate from Rumah Tinggi Ter.

What was the route taken from Bt Merah interchange to Hoy Fatt Rd? Duplicated service 139?Originally posted by iveco:63 came about in late 1992, plying between Bukit Merah and MacPherson (loop).
Seriously, service 63 should be amended to terminate at Bt Merah interchange with enroute into Rumah Tinggi just like service 131 enroute into Bt Purmei. Currently, there's no bus connection between Bt Merah interchange and Rumah Tinggi, Redhill Close, Redhill Rd. -
The original 63 ran parallel to 851. Since the withdrawal of 50, the only link between BMR Int and Lengkok Baru has been 139.Originally posted by tranquilice:What was the route taken from Bt Merah interchange to Hoy Fatt Rd? Duplicated service 139?
