  23X - Toa Payoh feeders
  
  Interesting to know that there is Service 239 in the past (Toa Payoh - Kim Keat Ave) in the 1980s, any idea why 239 gets withdrawn after a year or so?

  Ahh... the Blue Arrow services in 1977. Similar to the Premium concept now

• Apex-LW'21

  10 Dec 08, 21:57

  yes, precisely.. btw, let me give u a brief history of those 30x blue arrow services..
  
  from wad I have re-looked those bus guides in the 1970s to the 1980s (1976 is map version)..initially there was 8 blue arrow services (301 to 308) were actually introduced in 1976. Soon after 304 and 308 withdrawn in 1977 and left with 6 services. Blue arrow 307 was only amended to serve Bedok South Rd in 1978. Then again, Blue Arrow 301 and 302 were integrated to form Service 301, and at the same time 307 withdrawn. Decades later, due to the MRT or passengers favouring the basic bus services, Services 306 was withdrawn in 1988 and much later, 301, 303, 305 were withdrawn in 1989/90 - an abrupt end to the Blue Arrow Services.

  If I'm not mistaken, the road where the service would loop was demolished, hence the withdrawal of this service.

  There used to be a bridge linking Kim Keat Road at Jalan Bahagia to the current Kim Keat Ave at Lorong 6 TPY.
