Just a question of curosity, does anyone know which bus route has not been changed for the longest time and is still surviving until now? I know the routes of service 7 and 76 have not been changed since 1992.

If I never remember wrongly, Svc 25 used to ply Upp Paya Lebar Rd when it was introduced, exactly the same as Svc 24 before it's amended to it's present route in 1985.Originally posted by muziq bus:25 no change right? -

Sv 167 was originally an ADM Rd West – WTC service. It was amended to serve SBW Rd End Ter when Sv 161 (SBW Rd End – Shenton Way) withdrawn and merged with Sv 850 in 1993, to form the route as SBW Rd End – Bt Merah Service. In 2001, amended to ply on Canberra Link and Canberra Rd. In 2005, amended to SBW Int to form the current route.Originally posted by tanjun:i thought 167 goes to bukit merah? -
You are correct.Originally posted by my@jas:If I never remember wrongly, Svc 25 used to ply Upp Paya Lebar Rd when it was introduced, exactly the same as Svc 24 before it's amended to it's present route in 1985.
Service 25 used to ply Upper Paya Lebar Road before it was amended to ply via AMK ave 3, Hougang Ave 2 and 3.
It was amended between 1st June 1985 and 15th July 1985. Exact date unknown (to me at least). -
Actually, I still don't understand why they had Svc 24 & 25 when one is just the short route of the other.Originally posted by demag_ac:You are correct.

if not wrong, i remember reading svc1 and 2 was the same most of the timeOriginally posted by my@jas:Actually, I still don't understand why they had Svc 24 & 25 when one is just the short route of the other. -
last time, the aim of bus services to provide as many direct, point-to-point services so it'd be convenient for passengers getting to the most popular destinations like shenton way, orchard. even ulu villages like tuas, lim chu kang and choa chu kang had a direct service to shenton way.
duplication is common, and accepted as the norm.
when the MRT came about, duplication became taboo. -
