It is common for some of SBS services cover through TIBS area. I shan't mention all of them. (In vice versa, TIBS cover through SBS area too)
But 67, as I did mentioned earlier on, it only covers 1/3 of TIBS area.
Can just say, LTA does not allow SBS (TIBS) to cover the secondary road of TIBS (SBS) area, but only main road in order to be fair? Just like 161, 168 only cover main road of Woodlands whereas 965, main road of Sengkang and so on.

2) Which private companies were merged to form CSS? Was it under TIBS control?
Originally posted by TIB657M:I also have clarification about depot management:
Why AMDEP had to handover some of YIBP services (like: 811, 812, 851) to WLDEP? Was it something to do with the introduction of 965 and 969?

CSS was under both Singapore Shuttle Bus & NTUC Comfort.
In 1988, NTUC Confort discontinued its 3 CSS services and the other 6 services by SSB still withdrawn (CSS 9 was withdrawn in the same year).
So, why SMRT took back the CSS buses when all of CSS services were withdrawn?
Were the UDs (Include deregistered NAC UDs) came from different private companies?
Were those NAC UDs 'forced out' by bendies?

Originally posted by TIB657M:Is it wise for LTA to let SBST take back Service 67? Since it covers 2/3 of SBST areas. Only 1/3 is Choa Chu Kang Area. So, how was the demand of 67 during SBS days?
I hope LTA will allow. It'll be much better and I missed the B10M Striders on 67.

An overview:
The Rationalization of Jurong Bus Services covers the existing bus services serving Taman Jurong and the Jurong Industrial Estates. The rationalisation took place on 1st June 1978 and with the conjunction of the Jurong Bus Interchange at Jurogn Port Rd, most of the services were amended to terminate at Jurong Interchange instead of one cluster of terminals around the vicinity of Jurong Town and Industrial Estate.
The services before Rationalisation stages:
Pre-Rationalisation of 1974 Era
10 - Bedok Rd to Shipyard Rd (later extended to Upp Changi Rd)
30/30A - Changi Rd to Jln Ahmad Ibrahim
42 - Telok Kurau to International Rd
154 - MacPherson Est to International Rd
154A - Crawford St to Benoi Rd
157 - Toa Payoh to Shipyard Rd
165 - Upper Thomson Rd (near Sembawang Hills Dr) to Jln Boon Lay/Jurong Rd
176 - Corporation Dr to Prince Edward Rd
182 - Upp Bt Timah Rd (near Ewart Circus) to Benoi Rd
198 - South Canal Rd to Jln Boon Lay/Jurong Rd
202 - Corporation Dr to International Rd
203 - Corporation Dr to Jurong Port Rd
204 - Corporation Dr to Benoi Rd
205 - Corporation Dr to Shipyard Rd
206 - Lim Chu Kang to Tanjong Kling
Post-Rationalisation of 1974 to Pre-Jurong Town Rationalisation of 1978 (amendments are shown)
30/30A - Renumbered to 30 accordingly and at the same time bypass Stamford Rd, Waterloo St & Bras Basah Rd.
154A - Renumbered to 209.
165 - Rerouted to form Upper Thomson Rd to Old Jurong Rd service.
176 - Rerouted to form Corporation Dr to Crawfors St service.
178 - New Service introduced from Corporation Dr to Jurong Rd
182 - Noticeably the service doesn't serve the Jurong Industrial Estate anymore. It Serves only the North Canal Rd and South Canal Rd as a loop service via Bukit Timah Rd and Orchard Rd and make a looping at Parsi Rd
183 - New Service introduced from Benoi Rd to New Bridge Rd (later called at South Canal Terminal instead)
198 - Extended to Jln Kolam Ayer Terminus (and later to Sims Place)
Post Rationalisation of 1978 (when Jurong Interchange was opened at the same date of rationalisation. Feeder/Industrial Services were introduced to reduce route constraints due to long routes and off peak wastage)
10 - Upper Changi Rd (13.3km) to Jurong
30 - Chai Chee to Jurong
154 - MacPherson Est to Jurong
157 - Toa Payoh - Jurong
165 - Ang Mo Kio to Jurong
178 - Upp Bt Timah Rd (near Bt Panjang Cirus) to Jurong
183 - New Bridge Rd to Jurong
184 - Telok Blangah Way to Jurong
196 - Prince Edward Rd to Jurong
197 - Geylang Fringe Car Park to Jurong
198 - Sims Place to Jurong
206 - Lim Chu Kang Rd to Jurong
Feeder services (Loop Service)
240 - Jurong to Boon Lay Gdn (Loop)
241 - Jurong to Teban Est
242 - Jurong to Kang Ching Rd
244 - Jurong Int to Boon Lay Gdn
Industrial Feeders (Loop Service)
245 - Jurong to Pandan Rd
246 - Jurong to Boon Lay Gdn
247 - Jurong to Jurong Pier Rd
248 - Jurong to Neythal Rd
249 - Jurong to Jln Samulun
250 - Jurong Int to 6th Lokyang Rd
251 - Jurong to Refiunery Rd
253 - Jurong to Benoi Rd
255 - Jurong Int to Gul Circle
257 - Jurong to Gul Rd
Special Services (it was introduced later, not during the rationalisation date itself)
404 - Jurong to Science Centre
405 - Jurong to Jurong Bird Pk
406 - Jurong to Chinese/Jpanese Garden
450 - Jurong to Pasir Laba Camp
404 to 406 was introduced on 4 June, while 450 introduced on 3 June
Other service changes as part of Jurong Bus Rationalisation:
Service 42 from Telok Kurau to International Rd was withdrawn and other alternatives to Jurong were Services 10 and 30. Service 40 covers the route of Service 42
Service 154 was re-routed to MacPherson Rd and Jln Toa Payoh instead instead of Upp Aljunied Rd and Braddell Rd. The only way To get to Jurong from Toa Payoh was Service 157 - the most direct route
Service 176 cutback to Clementi instead of Jurong as this service will be designated to ply along the Clementi Town Area.
Service 178 was amended to Jurong Rd from Bt Timah Rd instead of Jln Jurong Kechil. And again Service 157 is only the most convenient route to Jurong becuase it plies along Jln Jurong Kechil.
Service 183 called at New Bridge Rd terminal instead of South Canal. The new Service 197 would ply part of the existing route of Service 183 (South Cnaal Rd to New Bridge Rd stretch)
Service 197 was newly introduced from Geylang Fringe Car Park to Jurong Interchange via North Bridge Rd, Chinatown and Jln Bukit Merah (along the old 183 route)
Service 209 would cutback to C'wealth Ave instead of the Jurong Area. Affected stretch of Service 209 were served with 183, 196 and 198.
Feel free to contibute if you have any other informations about the Jurong Bus Services Rationalisation
Thanks, SBS8533C, for all the historical insights of the bus service rationalisation of Jurong, Bedok and Toa Payoh, in the 1970s and 1980s. I certainly had learnt a lot of things of Singapore bus history from here. They are very interesting and I really wish I could go back to those days again for the memories of this hobby. Hope you will share more with us on the history of bus services changes in the 1970s and 1980s.
Btw, when was service 146 and 148 withdrawn???
And do you know what happened to some of the bus terminals in the 1980s I mentioned earlier in this thread that had cease to exist from the mid 1990s???

148 was withdrawn in 1989. Reintroduced as Clementi - Lor 1 Geylang Ter service in 1992 but was subsequently withdrawn in the same year
Certain former bus terminals were demolished due to redevelopment works in the area or land acquistion. One of the terminal, former Ulu Pnadan Terminal was converted into a seafood restaurant.
Thanks a lot.
I am very interested to know what happened to Princess Elizaberth bus terminal in the early 1990s, which houses service 192 and 193. What happened to it?
When did SBS 173 went to cover Hillview area?
Any ideas on the above.
I hope you can share more of the lists of these bus service changes in major new towns in the 1970s and 1980s in future. I am thinking of compling them together and do a print out for easy references. Thanks a lot.

I don't really understand why 180 is still a 2-directional service since it loops at Boon Lay Interchange, and do not park there for break, just return to Bukit Panjang.

LOL... Same for 172. Stated as 2 directional, but in reality the bus does not terminate at 1 terminal and continues trip, looping back.
180 - Bukit Panjang To Boon Lay Int (Loop)
172 - Boon Lay Int To Choa Chu Kang Int (Loop)

By the way, would also like to ask how did Tampines, Ang Mo Kio Services became the current routes?
ABOUT ANG MO KIO BUS SERVICES (latest updates)
At first, when Ang Mo Kio New Town is still currently under development in the 1970s, there were 2 terminals situated - one at Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 (os Blk 324) and the other at Ang Mo Kio Ave 6 (opp Blk 202). In fact, there was a feeder 260 that serve from AMK Ave 6 to St 22/24. Initially, there was only one terminal, Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 (os Blk 324) and because as there are more services terminating at Ang Mo Kio New Town, another termporary terminal was constructed at Ang Mo Kio Ave 6 (opp Blk 202).

Some additions:
You forgot about 25 and 159 under the part of the opening of Ang Mo Kio interchange in 1982.
132 was extended to Hougang South in 1986 or 1988 and ending point was extended to Bukit Merah around the same period.
74 was extended to Hougang Central in the 1990s and the route was shortened to Buona Vista terminal.
267 was withdrawn in 2002 when 159 was extended to Sengkang.
133A was an express service along CTE in the late 1980s.
When was 168 withdrawn??? Is it in 1987 or 1988???
Thanks for the information about Ang Mo Kio bus service history. Maybe you can edit the revisions the next day.
I remembered the Leyland Olympian 2 axles demostrator piled on the old service 162.
About Tampines, what I know about it was service 80 in the 1970s. The first SBS service to use double deckers in 1977, with the first fleet of 20 Leyland Atlanteans double deckers bodied by BACo and Metal Sections.

About Tampines services (revised edition).
In the 1980s, Tampines New Town was still under development by the HDB. As the propulation of Tampines grows in a faster pace (in fact, the first few thousands of Tampines residents were resettled to a new satellite town in Tampines and they came from rural villagers slated to be demolished), there is a need for a bus services plying around the new town to cater the needs for the residents.
In fact, a new terminal at Tampines Ave 5 built in 1983, which was said to be the "longest" bus terminal in Singapore. First 2 services to serve the terminal was service 10 and 31, togeether witht the introduction of feeders 292, 293, 294.

In the 1980s, Tampines New Town was still under development by the HDB. As the propulation of Tampines grows in a faster pace (in fact, the first few thousands of Tampines residents were resettled to a new satellite town in Tampines and they came from rural villagers slated to be demolished), there is a need for a bus services plying around the new town to cater the needs for the residents.
In fact, a new terminal at Tampines Ave 5 built in 1983, which was said to be the "longest" bus terminal in Singapore. First 2 services to serve the terminal was service 10 and 31, togeether witht the introduction of feeders 292, 293, 294.

How about the double decker service 86??? Did it shifted from Tampines Way to Tampines Ave 5 bus terminal??? Or was it withdrawn when the terminal was ready???
Service 22 and service 27 was introduced in 24 Jan 1988 for new links to Ang Mo Kio and Changi Airport Passenger Building. Service 18 was also extened to Tampines interchange from 29 Nov 1987. I think service 28 was also introduced roughly during that time.
28 - To New Bridge Road
