iirc, it used PIE a.k.a service 23. one fine day, they swapped roles and service 23 became the one to use PIE and 67 go by the long route.Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:So is the route 67 the same till today? or was it different?
dunno if this is before service 23 got shortened from tomlinson rd to rochor canal rd or after.....

Hi, the notice which put at the front of the bus for express502. Is it removed for all buses? I saw some buses that removed it. Immediately there are people who still want to take 502 to clementi.
-
Even with the notice there are still people wanting to alight at Clementi. The notices 'disappear' when the buses went for cameo.Originally posted by chickenlittle2:Hi, the notice which put at the front of the bus for express502. Is it removed for all buses?

I think 23 got shortened in 1991. TAM residents left with 65 or MRT to get to Orchard.Originally posted by ^tamago^:iirc, it used PIE a.k.a service 23. one fine day, they swapped roles and service 23 became the one to use PIE and 67 go by the long route.

2 questions:-
Is TIB927J/TIB945G now a perm on service 854 ?? These buses supposingly a perm on service 853, which was later replaced by TIB365E/TIB1256E ??
Is it a fact that TIB814B swapped with TIB1015J on service 169 and service 855 due to the deployment of Ikea shuttles ?? -

AFAIK, TIB365E have been Perm on 853 ever since the days of TIBS. as for 1256E.. i see it more of an additional bus to the fleet. Thats all.Originally posted by TIB1018B:2 questions:-

sgWiki says TIB927J [my fav vehicle] perm on 854. But i've seriously only seen this vehicle most frequently on 853, but sometimes doing 852/854/811 also...Originally posted by TIB1018B:2 questions:-

May I know during the weekends? Those BC driving 242 Lo3x (AC), their shift are from morning 6am to evening 6.30pm?
-
They are on E shift, meaning they do AM peak, then have a 1.5 - 3 hour break (depending), then continue work from 11 or 12 to evening.Originally posted by chickenlittle2:May I know during the weekends? Those BC driving 242 Lo3x (AC), their shift are from morning 6am to evening 6.30pm?
This is only for those on 179 duty... Somtimes, they just deploy DDs on 242 which are not x-overs. I'm not sure about those buses. -
u mean their shift starts frm 6.30am to about 9am? Then 9am to 11am? no DD in 242? the break then they can go home? (For Weekends). Wat about during the weekdays? I saw a lot of extra 242 like 276Y, 3755L, 3863H? They are part-time drivers? only work during the peak hours? Then Non-peak what they do?

What you mean no DD in 242? I am talking about the 179 DDs x-overs to 242.Originally posted by chickenlittle2:u mean their shift starts frm 6.30am to about 9am?

For E shift drivers, sometimes they just leave their buses parked in BNL and don't return to BNL since their break is so short.
On weekdays, there should be only one bus doing E shift on 242, which is the 179 morning x-over (either 3755L, 3783E or 3863H). The other peak hour buses are on S shift. They can do whatever they want during their break between the peaks. -
What is the route of Service 168 from the past to the present? I saw before in a photo that it goes through orchard in the 1980s.
-
Service 168 operates from AMK to Orchard Road in the 1980s and was withdrawn during the MRT rationalisation in 1987-1988. Number reused in 2001 to operate between Woodlands and Bedok via SLE, TPE, Tampines.Originally posted by Urroh:What is the route of Service 168 from the past to the present?

I think there was 168 & 168A, the latter being FAC service.Originally posted by TIB1018B:Service 168 operates from AMK to Orchard Road in the 1980s and was withdrawn during the MRT rationalisation in 1987-1988. Number reused in 2001 to operate between Woodlands and Bedok via SLE, TPE, Tampines.
140 from TAP also looped @ Orchard during those days. It had white front desto with red words. -

Service 168 in the past considered PACOriginally posted by iveco:I think there was 168 & 168A, the latter being FAC service.
All SBS bus services with flat fares (also applied to feeder buses) and other special fares had this kind of destos in the past. Service 140 was also one of themOriginally posted by iveco:140 from TAP also looped @ Orchard during those days. It had white front desto with red words. -
Hmm, did 16 & 184 (now replaced by 176) terminate @ the place where the current 124 loops?
I understand that 14 & 64 swapped routes, but I thought the latter went past the Botanical Gdns instead of using Tanglin Rd while headed for Ulu Pandan. -
what route does SBS 84 J and SBS 572 S used to serve before becoming training buses?
-
SBS572S started off with service 132 in 1991. Then it went on to service 138 when introduced in 1994, after which it went to service 105 in 1995. SBS572S was then withdrawn from service 105 in 2004 when Hougang took over its partial duties from AMK.Originally posted by sexy girls:what route does SBS 84 J and SBS 572 S used to serve before becoming training buses?
SBS84J was a spare bus I suppose -
572S served 105 before? Don't rememebr seeing it anywhere near my house.Originally posted by TIB1018B:SBS572S started off with service 132 in 1991. Then it went on to service 138 when introduced in 1994, after which it went to service 105 in 1995.

It is a fact that the last batches of DM Mercs were deployed on 106, 132 & 166 when they became PAC in the early 1990s. When 105 became PAC in late 1993, it used reassigned buses. -
Before Bt Merah Int was opened, 16 terminated at Telok Blangah St 32 while 184 terminated at Telok Blangah Way. 16's terminus was a carpark in front of Blk 78, now a muti-storey carpark.Originally posted by iveco:Hmm, did 16 & 184 (now replaced by 176) terminate @ the place where the current 124 loops?
I understand that 14 & 64 swapped routes, but I thought the latter went past the Botanical Gdns instead of using Tanglin Rd while headed for Ulu Pandan.
14 went to Mei Chin Rd via Tanglin Rd, Alexandra Rd, C'wealth Ave and Stirling Rd. 64 also went by the same route and continued from C'wealth Ave to Holland Ave, Holland Rd and Ulu Pandan Rd. Later, 14 was amended to ply via Napier Rd, Holland Rd and Queensway to Bukit Merah Central while 64 was amended to loop at Mei Chin Rd as replacement.
