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?
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.
167 was the first Tibs service ever.
All BPJ routes (187 was BPJ-BNL route originally) were handed to Tibs in 10/95.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).

Service 170 could be because of JB side...Originally posted by 105090:sv5, 67, 75, 171, 172, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 184, 185, 187, 188, 190, 300, 302, 307, 343, 344, 345 all became TIBS..
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![]()
There were also 161 & 164 in SBW side.Originally posted by TIB1018B:Service 170 could be because of JB side...
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Services 178, 180 (withdrawn in 1993), 181 (now 961), 182 (withdrawn in 1996) and 372 (now 903) were the 1st batch of Woodlands services that were transferred over to Tibs in 1983 if I am not wrong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)
To be exact:-Originally posted by iveco:All BPJ routes (187 was BPJ-BNL route originally) were handed to Tibs in 10/95.
171 was handed to Tibs in 11/95
NE routes were handed to Tibs in 12/95 and remained so until 1999.
current 160 is Jurong East, not Jurong WestOriginally posted by TIB1018B:Former service 160 is now service 980 (unless you are referring to the current 160 that plies between Jurong West and JB)
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).

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?

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..

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![]()
The situtation might be different if SBST continue to control NW.Originally posted by iveco:Still, NW has worse connections than NE overall.
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
