--story from fren
Svc 170 trips sometimes go into the depot to refuel.
Some even went to the workshop area to fix advertisements. imagine paxs still onbaord and the mechanics banging the bus side with hammers to fix a advertisement
fun fun fun
always a chance to visit the depot in such situations.

THE HISTORY OF BEDOK INTERCHANGE & ITS SERVICES
Bedok Intercahnge, commenced its operations on 25th February 1979, marks the another milestone of its new bus interchange serving the new Bedok New Town. It was generally the first bus interchange to have a colour coding berth (Red/Yellow/Green), which makes boarding easier for passengers and to identify the correct berth to board a particluar service from Bedok Interchange. Sooner, the trend for the new colour coding berth were introduced at later stages, i.e. Tampines & Jurong East
It used to have 5 berths at a start, with 1 berth reserved for Alighting, there wasn't any end-on berths (like the current Interchange layout). However, in the later years, the Bedok Interchange was expanded with the end-on berths to accomodate the existing Chai Chee Terminal services, on which the terminal was acquired by the HDB for housing developments. (Please refer to the Shifting of Chai Chee Terminal services to Bedok Interchange mentioned at the previous pages)

WHY 219 WAS RENUMBERED AS 229? A FAQ.
With the withdrawal of the old 229, the service 219 from Bedok to Bedok South Rd becomes 229, to complement the 22x series of the Bedok feeders, as the usage in the modern era of the 21x looks odd. -

400 401 403 were all along trunk services. Even with the implementation of the Parks branding for 408 and 409, these three services, though designated as part of the Parks Services, charged a different fare from the two services 408 and 409 (the fare was all along the same as the other trunk routes), operated different hours (everyday compared to weekends only) and carried the normal desto compared to the 408 409's special green coloured desto.
