The old service M4
-
Last time there was a bus service called 'M4' which started from Eunos Interchange. What was its destination and its route?
Other than that, were there any more 'M' services? -
M1 , M2 , M3 ....
M1 is the current 92
M2 is the curren 42
M3 if i'm not wrong is from Bedok Gdns to Lucky Gdns (loop). Service withdrawn somewhere in 1994.
M4 is from Eunos to Marine Parade? Not sure.... -
M3 was Tanah Merah MRT - Lucky Heights
M4 is current route 13.
M4 looped via YCK-bound route in reverse by turning left into Marine Parade Road returned via UEC-bound route in reverse. -
I remembered M4 had the quiet DM body Mercedes OF1413 bus. Love that bus.
-
Essentially M4 got withdrawn n the bus services replacing it were 15 and 13. after many changes, today's 13 sticks to m4's route.
M4 had air-con mark 3s also

Frequency is around 10-15 minutes. It was withdrawn in 1996.
sbst275 asked for this info via PM 3 weeks ago so I went to dig my archives.

If I am not wrong service 15 used to ply between Pasir Ris to Eunos way back in 1997, after which it was merged with service M4 and extended to loop at Parkway Parade via Marine Crescent. The Marine Crescent sector was then covered by service 13 when SBS made further amendments to extend service 13 to Marine Parade from Eunos.

Ever since then, EUN became hell quiet after the loss of 3 routes terminating there.Originally posted by TIB1018B:If I am not wrong service 15 used to ply between Pasir Ris to Eunos way back in 1997, after which it was merged with service M4 and extended to loop at Parkway Parade via Marine Crescent.

Yeah lor.Originally posted by iveco:Ever since then, EUN became hell quiet after the loss of 3 routes terminating there.
So much for making transfers to MRT easier for Marine Parade residents, then taking it away from them.

Actually M4 should be kept
Cos Marine Parade -> Eunos not so easy as Eunos -> Marine Parade w/ 13 -
Take 55 and alight at the market bus stop along Jln Eunos...Originally posted by sbst275:Actually M4 should be kept

Must walk to Marine Parade Rd.Originally posted by sv966:Take 55 and alight at the market bus stop along Jln Eunos...

What is the 'M' stands for. I thought that 'M' stands for minibus service

Yes, Sv15 last time plied Pasir Ris -> Eunos with SBS NissansOriginally posted by TIB1018B:If I am not wrong service 15 used to ply between Pasir Ris to Eunos way back in 1997, after which it was merged with service M4 and extended to loop at Parkway Parade via Marine Crescent. The Marine Crescent sector was then covered by service 13 when SBS made further amendments to extend service 13 to Marine Parade from Eunos. Ridership wasnt as good as when it was extended to Marine Parade. It used to serve Marine Cres b4 going to Parkway in the direction towards parkway and serve Marine Cres -> Marine Terrace -> Marine Parade Rd -> Telok Kurau Rd in the direction of Pasir Ris. Used to take it home from school last time -
M = 1000. I think.Originally posted by tintinspartan:What is the 'M' stands for. I thought that 'M' stands for minibus service -
I hope that in future, 15 (& 966) can be extended to Kallang Park terminus instead of looping @ Amber Circus.

M = Mega = 1.0 x 10^6.Originally posted by ^tamago^:M = 1000. I think.
Tada! You just learnt something new today. -
That kilo's laOriginally posted by ^tamago^:M = 1000. I think.

I believe the M services were used to link certain areas with the nearest MRT station.Originally posted by tintinspartan:What is the 'M' stands for. I thought that 'M' stands for minibus service -
Somemore it to Terrace sideOriginally posted by ^tamago^:Must walk to Marine Parade Rd.
Crescent side gotta walk so far -
Maybe Tintin got the idea from seeing the Nissan Civilians and Merc 811s on these routes.Originally posted by Yusry:I believe the M services were used to link certain areas with the nearest MRT station.
Anyway, even to this day low-capacity buses (Dennis Darts) are still deployed on 42 (former M2) and 92 (former M1).
PS: M2 was meant as a replacement for the old svc 20, which gave up part of its route between Golden Mile and Ghim Moh to 100. -
M4 used MK IIIs SBS623D, SBS825K, SBS826J
