prior to that, 160, 167, 169, 59, etc
and then the BB ones like 61, 106, 173, 189, 361, 365, 367.......
luckily 170 was spared

345 was introduced by TIBS at that time in 1997... 343 n 344 were handed over to TIBS.... 180 was renumbered from 951 if im right
..187 n 167 were always smrt? -
187 was SBS i think, with LA's running.Originally posted by JJxJJ:345 was introduced by TIBS at that time in 1997... 343 n 344 were handed over to TIBS.... 180 was renumbered from 951 if im right ..187 n 167 were always smrt?
167 was the first Tibs service ever.

If only SBS were still in charge of BBT & CCK, they would enhance 365 to become an inter-town service that passes outside the Kranji camps and looping @ CCK St 62 in the opposite direction of 307. Anyone agree with me?

Route 187, if I'm not wrong, was a then-SBS route, until the bus rationlisation of 1996 (due to the Woodlands MRT extension), when it was extended to Woodlands (used to be a Boon Lay - Bukit Batok loop service, if I'm not wrong). It was then handed over to then-TIBS. Still remember seeing an old air-conditioned Hino bus (the HT2XX series) on it back thenOriginally posted by ^tamago^:187 was SBS i think, with LA's running.

Bt Batok still have services 77 that you missed out.
Services 178, 180 (withdrawn in 1993), 181 (now 961), 182 (withdrawn in 1996) and 372 (now 903) were the 1st batch of Woodlands services that were transferred over to Tibs in 1983 if I am not wrong
Service 345 was never under SBS before, it was originally introduced by Tibs in 1997.
Former service 160 is now service 980 (unless you are referring to the current 160 that plies between Jurong West and JB)
Former service 59 is now service 86 (unless you are referring to the current 59 that plies between Bishan and Changi Village) -

I don't think service 187 ever used the CAC HinosOriginally posted by eX.A.K.R.:Route 187, if I'm not wrong, was a then-SBS route, until the bus rationlisation of 1996 (due to the Woodlands MRT extension), when it was extended to Woodlands (used to be a Boon Lay - Bukit Batok loop service, if I'm not wrong). It was then handed over to then-TIBS. Still remember seeing an old air-conditioned Hino bus (the HT2XX series) on it back then . Could be service 178 that you are referring to.
Service 187 was introduced by SBS in 1988 between Bt Panjang and Jurong, then amended to Boon Lay in 1990. -
If i do not remember wrongly, the svc number history can be found in sgwiki.com. By the way, I agree with the above quote. There is a high possibility that inter town services will be deployed in cck since demand is rather high plus it makes the whole area of cck and yew tee more accessible.Originally posted by iveco:If only SBS were still in charge of BBT & CCK, they would enhance 365 to become an inter-town service that passes outside the Kranji camps and looping @ CCK St 62 in the opposite direction of 307. Anyone agree with me? -
For that , i think they might use new number instead of using 365 or 367.Originally posted by iveco:If only SBS were still in charge of BBT & CCK, they would enhance 365 to become an inter-town service that passes outside the Kranji camps and looping @ CCK St 62 in the opposite direction of 307.

Is 187 the first bus to go on BKE? I remember it is..Originally posted by eX.A.K.R.:Route 187, if I'm not wrong, was a then-SBS route, until the bus rationlisation of 1996 (due to the Woodlands MRT extension), when it was extended to Woodlands (used to be a Boon Lay - Bukit Batok loop service, if I'm not wrong).

A pity that SBS exchange NW with NE..NW area have more services than NE..In that case,we can have more service guides to collect
-
Got svcs 950, 951, 952, SS7 before tat (all either withdrawn or amended during 1996 rationalisation)Originally posted by Urroh:Is 187 the first bus to go on BKE? I remember it is.. -
950 (old), 952, SS7 withdrawn.Originally posted by TIB1018B:Got svcs 950, 951, 952, SS7 before tat (all either withdrawn or amended during 1996 rationalisation)
Sv 951 was cut-short to Bt Panjang, re-numbering 951 to 180. -
Still, NW has worse connections than NE overall.Originally posted by choww:A pity that SBS exchange NW with NE..NW area have more services than NE..In that case,we can have more service guides to collect -
i remember the days where 67 , 185, 188 , 190 , 300 , 302 , 307 were under SBST. i missed them very much. I remember i saw Mk3s on 307 , they are SBS835J , SBS836G , SBS837D and SBS838B. There was even Mk2s on 307 i remembered there was once 3 307 came at one go , 2 Vo2x , 1 CAC Mk2(DM) , SBS7270S , SBS7271P and SBS1799Z. At that time , in year 1999 i remembered SBS1799Z was just refurbished & converted.
I wonder where are the 4 ex 307 mk3s now?
I still remember i dropped my MRT card in SBS1717K when it was on 307 at that time.
At those days 188 used O405(DM)s i remember i was taking 365 , SBS3723B , i saw SBS3852P on 188 at that time got accident , it crashed dont know onto a pick up or a lorry? -
The situtation might be different if SBST continue to control NW.Originally posted by iveco:Still, NW has worse connections than NE overall. -
Uhuh, 'cos SMRT not enough buses mah...
189, my favourite bus service to date. Also got presently JB MKIII, like 665H. And VO2X. And Striders. (1997-2000)
Plus, svc 77 had WA CAC MKII, struggling up Toh Tuck Rd is the worse entertainment... (199
Now, the MKIIIs are with 160/170, VO2X with svcs like 91, 93, 74, and Striders with any other svc under BBDEP. WA CAC MKII are now with 284/285 and other BBDEP controlled svcs.
All buses served 77/189 did not change depot I guess. All still under BBDEP, travelling on roads once they were very familiar with. -
To be exact, I think the old SBS 180 & 182 were handed over to TIBS on 7 Aug 1983.Originally posted by TIB1018B:Services 178, 180 (withdrawn in 1993), 181 (now 961), 182 (withdrawn in 1996) and 372 (now 903) were the 1st batch of Woodlands services that were transferred over to Tibs in 1983 if I am not wrong
