What was the old route of svc 97?
-
Last time , service 97 plyed between hougang and jurong east. What was its route from hougang to JE?
When I went to hougang, I saw 51, 147, 132, 174 and a few others but never 97 before. -
97 stop going to hougang ever since the intro of NEL.
jurong east -> west coast -> pasir panjang -> harbourfront -> tanjong pagar -> city hall -> selegie -> boon keng -> serangoon -> hougang
(correct me if i m wrong) -

51 and 132 didn't go Hougang Central , It went to Hougang South Int before the Int closed down in 2003. -
He meant 74 ? Accidentally pressed one more "1".Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:174? You are mistaken

97 (and 111) ended at Hougang interchange.. aka Hougang South int. then extended to Hougang Central. in 2003, after NERL opened, amended to loop at Marina Centre

106 was from Bt Batok Int to Serangoon Int , shorten to Marina Centre from Serangoon in 2003Originally posted by kengkia:what abt 106 and 62 and 82??? what was the route like before.?
62 originally from New Bridge Rd Ter to Hougang South , route change in 2003 , from Punggol Int to Geylang Lor 1 (loop)
82 originally from Punggol Rd End to Shenton Way , In 2003 , the PGL Rd end Ter close down and currently the route is from Serangoon Int to Punggol Rd End (loop)
All these are due to the NEL Rationalisation -

haha...bus route got duplicated...then I think young people would choose MRT over buses...so where can possible give AC bus...Originally posted by TIB1018B:And now, service 82 is downgraded to NAC buses -
How does punggol road end look like?
Is it urbanised like the new punggol now or is it still a rural and forested area like the punggol last time?
