  Have you ever wonder how drastic has bus routes change from then and now?
  
  For example
  
  10 ( Tampinese -> Clementi [ then] , Kent Ridge [ Now]
  197 ( Bedok -> Boon Lay [ then ] , Jurong East [ Now]
  198 ( Jurong East [ then ] -> Sims Place [ then]
  Boon Lay [ Now ] -> Bukit Merah )
  
  SO drastic that i prefer the old routes.. rather then the "new" routes

  At my hse there, major route change is 103 after NEL rationalisation. They cut 103 and withdraw 501 and 502.
  
  However, new services such as 43 and 109 are intorduced.

  Two more service you guys left out:
  
  196
  old: Clementi to Marine Parade
  now: Clementi to Bedok
  Reason of Route Change Closure of Marine Parade Terminal to make way for Victoria School and Hostel Construction
  
  16: Bukit Merah to Marine Parade
  Now: Bukit Merah to Bedok
  Old: Bukit Merah to Marine Parade (loop)
  Reason for route change Better serve passengers from Bedok side going to Singapore Indoor Stadium to cover the loss of CSS 608.
  
  And why do some 196 buses display their old destos now. Saw one B9TL with Standard Chartered Ad with 196 Clementi Marine Parade old front desto. Ask STN for the pic.

  at one time 390 hit the ECP via ophir road. that was its first ver of routing. it went by selegie rd even. 390 was intro with the CGA plan. whereby suddenly u have 390 391 392 393 and 394 in 1981.
  
  the older 149 in the Chinese bus co days as TOA PAYOH - Outram bus ter.
  
  31 used to terminate at Kallang park bus ter if i not wrong.
  
  301 is like todays premium service. Blue arrow service was its branding. think copy a certain UK coach co called blue arrow in 1980s.

  196 goes way back. then it was a gagek selerai barat (Lower delta area ter - jurong shipyard (yes as in 249's jurong shipyard) (under chinese bus co days)
  . short route. later extended to marne parade (bby integratiion with then service 15: marine parade - shenton aWy - prince edward ter)
  . adjust to terminate at jalan samulun. later jurong int open so SBS shifted it to jurong.
  
  thats the 196 i knew. JURONG - MARINE PARADE
  
  i fondly renember 196 gg jurong and was under JRG DEP. then they put the O305 mercs DDs on 196 shoik. chiong nicholl HW, weeee. later came the Lo2x. chiong nicholl HW? smooth as silk. those were my early lo2x rides.
  
  as for 16 again u bit off
  
  16 first route was from telok Blangah bus ter (carpark ter like today 63 at blk 77 carpark) - marine parade. later when bt merah int open. then 16 go there.

  When service 197 shifted from Jurong interchange to (former) Boon Lay interchange in July 1990, its other-end destination was already Bedok interchange. From the first day (former) Boon Lay interchange started operation, I do not recall any service there that terminate at Lor 1 Geylang terminal.

  Nope, I am very sure of this. When 197 shifted from Jurong to Boon Lay,Boon Lay to Jurong East, it was still based at Geylang Lorong 1. I am very sure of this because I used to stay at Marine Parade. Often hang out at Marine Parade terminal and Bedok. When Service 41 and 197 merged, 197 (Geylang Lorong 1 was then extended to Bedok)
  
  ZXY can backed me up on this.
  
  Btw ZXY : Service 31 Tampines to Kallang parade is a loop service. It doesn't terminate at Kallang parade.
  
  Cheers guys !
