Thanks.
Cos I remember a small terminal-like facility in Shenton Way area but not at the current location - I remember that it was well shaded with lots of trees around the bus park and boarding area. -
Yes, the small shaded area was the old Prince Edward Terminal. It was demolished to make room for construction of Benjamin Sheares Bridge and relocated under the highway viaduct at Palmer Rd. Shenton Way terminal is just a huge parking lot, with no staff working there.

SBST 402 was introduced in 1994, as a loop service between Bedok interchange and SAFRA Resort (Changi Coast Walk), plying the same route of the current service 35 up to Changi Coast Rd.
It was withdrawn in 1995, when loop service 35 was introduced to ply between Bedok interchange and Tanah Merah ferry terminal.
Info on Changi Ferry Terminal
Changi Ferry terminal is also known as Johor-Singapore ferry terminal, located at the end of Changi Ferry Rd. This ferry terminal is for ferry services plying to and fro Desaru in eastern Johor.
No public bus services ever served this ferry terminal.
If I'm not wrong, this ferry terminal belongs to Malaysia. Any drivers can drive their cars or motorbikes onto the ferry and then drive out into Desaru. -

I don't think service 122 ever terminate at Clementi interchange. Service 122 first plied between St. Michael's and Bt Batok, then it was cut short to ply between St. Michael's and Buona Vista, finally it was withdrawn.
Service 123 plied between St. Michael's and loop outside New Bridge Rd terminal (like former CSS 607). Then it was amended to the current route.
Service 125 at first plied between St. Michael's and Bt Merah, then it was cut short to Shenton Way when service 131 was extended from Shenton Way to Bt Merah, covering service 125 route.
Service 131 was extended to Bt Merah from Shenton Way, it did not terminate at WTC terminal at all.
Service 1 terminated at Somapah terminal (If I'm not wrong)
Service 63 did not terminate at Bt Merah interchange. I remembered when service 62 was cut short to New Bridge Rd, service 63 was introduced to ply between Rumah Tinggi and MacPherson estate. -
