1st-ever TIbs route was 160, longest surviving Tibs route is 167.
8** series of routes were the "original" Tibs routes, meaning they were not taken over from SBS.
REmember it was TIbs who introduced feeders to YIS, not SBS. -
160 AND 167 are the first TIBS route and to add-on:Originally posted by iveco:1st-ever TIbs route was 160, longest surviving Tibs route is 167.

TIBS also introduce WDL feeders too. -
I remember in 2005 , SBS354E cameoed on 89 & an unidentified Merz OAC DM on 103.

You forgotten about the very first feeder 372. I think it's SBS who started it.Originally posted by tintinspartan:TIBS also introduce WDL feeders too.
And not forgetting that today's 925 (before extension to CCK) was actually 2 seperate services 204 and 208. 208 went further on Kranji Way to Reservoir Park and beyond, while 204 turns into Sungei Kadut proper. -
SBS ran Service 169 before Tibs took it over.Originally posted by tanjun:Anyway thanks for the reply. Actually I am just curious whether like for example 169, who plans out this route first? Is it SBS or TIBS in the past?
I always thought that the 85x are the pioneer services that TIBS has introduced and thus the bus territory thing is ignored for these services. TIBS has always been known to use 85x service numbers. However, after checking with Sgwiki, I realise that 167 is the first ever TIBS service.
Just a thought.
The rule of the thumb last time should be that new towns are given new set of numbers, while those originating from northern termini should use 16x to differentiate them.
80x and 85x weren't pioneer services for Tibs, they were merely services planned for Yishun New Town. 800, 801, 850 and 851 were Pioneers, operating out of Yishun Central outside now GV. -
So, in that case, I can deduce that 169 is originally introduced by SBS in the past. If I am not wrong, there was a period when 171 used to be the only SBS service in Yishun interchange. Then, it got transferred to TIBS instead.Originally posted by iveco:1st-ever TIbs route was 160, longest surviving Tibs route is 167.

So, I guess TIBS is quite lucky to get so many transferred routes from SBS in the past. -
Anyone still remembers O405 NAC's on 172 and 175 right up to the last days before the Tibs takeover in 2000?

This picture should be taken somewhere in 2001 if I am not wrongOriginally posted by bus555:Erm I am not saying about Merz 0405 on Service 7 during IMF bus also when it was on SBS livery?
Taken from flickr.
Got some OAC MB0405 WAs under HGDEP for a short period of time in 2000-2001, ever seen on services 61, 89, 132, 165 and HG feeder 322
For your info I think service 7 was once partially under Jurong Bus Park in the early 1990s if I am not wrong
It also had LO2x other than MB0405s. -
There's when Service 7 is between Bedok - Jurong East before shorten to Clementi.Originally posted by TIB1018B:For your info I think service 7 was once partially under Jurong Bus Park in the early 1990s if I am not wrong It also had LO2x other than MB0405s.
Rmber always took the LO2xs from Jurong East all the way to Bedok where my father used to work...
Favourite moment is when the bus turn right to Boon Lay Way from Jurong East Ctrl -
Remember last time went to some farm in Lim Chu Kang in a coach and then saw the NAC O405 on 175 and became relieved that i was in a coach instead of taking the nac busOriginally posted by ^tamago^:Anyone still remembers O405 NAC's on 172 and 175 right up to the last days before the Tibs takeover in 2000? -
Yeah, some of them have become CAC where other Services still using NAC 0405s...Originally posted by ^tamago^:Anyone still remembers O405 NAC's on 172 and 175 right up to the last days before the Tibs takeover in 2000? -
yess 169 is one of he famous SBS services that used atleantans..Originally posted by tanjun:So, in that case, I can deduce that 169 is originally introduced by SBS in the past.

yes most of the 16x went by upp thomson rd and sbw roads then.Originally posted by ^tamago^:SBS ran Service 169 before Tibs took it over.

think only 168 (another pioneer atleantan service) was the exception
165 also atleantan service. then AMk town new new so new new bus go there to show off

With regards to the qn in closed thread about 168 and 969, I am quite sure that 168 was introduced first before 969 in the year of between 2001 and 2002. For 161 and 965, I am not very sure which one comes first. However, 39 if i don't rmb wrongly, comes later than 161 or 965 between the years 2002 to 2004.
-
Service 168 was introduced ONE DAY before Service 969. It was introduced on Saturday 14th April 2001. I remembered its the only basic service to be introduced on a saturday in recent times.
Whoever can back up S969's intro date then everything is firm. -
NAC O405 is power ok? Engine full on the wheels, natural breeze on you...Originally posted by SBS9889U:Remember last time went to some farm in Lim Chu Kang in a coach and then saw the NAC O405 on 175 and became relieved that i was in a coach instead of taking the nac bus -
tot its 160 (the now 980) not 161?Originally posted by ZYX2005:u forgot 161. 161 n 167 were the first two services transferred from sbs to tibs.

801 is the current 811 right?Originally posted by ^tamago^:SBS ran Service 169 before Tibs took it over.

Same for 802... current 812?
I remembered 811 used to be seperated into 2 services, 801 and 811. 801 ran on the South of Yishun whereas 811 was on the East of Yishun. Later they converged both services together and 801 was given 811E.
Same story goes for 812... -
Tibs wanted to expand their ops in SKG and PGK, but Marbok Tan screwed their plans in 1999.Originally posted by tanjun:So, in that case, I can deduce that 169 is originally introduced by SBS in the past.

Yes. 969 is introduced on 15 April 2001.Originally posted by service_238:Service 168 was introduced ONE DAY before Service 969. It was introduced on Saturday 14th April 2001. I remembered its the only basic service to be introduced on a saturday in recent times.

The introduction dates of services 161 and 965 are also roughly at most one month apart. -
get OVER itOriginally posted by iveco:Tibs wanted to expand their ops in SKG and PGK, but Marbok Tan screwed their plans in 1999. -
Guess the few good routes excluding feeders introduced by SMRT are
851, 854, 858, 960, 962, 963, 969
I have one qn. How come last time 951 from Woodlands to Boon Lay, when shortened is renumbered to 180. Shouldn't it be 8xx or 9xx? -
Intra-town 811 was a merger between feeders 801 and 805.Originally posted by Oceane:801 is the current 811 right?

Intra-town 812 was a merger between feeders 802 and 803.
All these were carried out when Intra-town bus system was introduced in 1997. -
