Eulogy of certain service routes?
-
Scheme B service 638 have been withdrawn. I miss the buses as they are the only scheme B buses running regularly unlike 626 or 628. I am now happy as 82 has a improved frequency of 7-8 minutes during afternoon peak.

SERVICE 92
It first started from Clementi to present day RSAF PLAB as the airport was a civillian airport at that time. However with the SMRT rationalisation, 92 was later withdrawn. It was later reintroduced with the renumbering of M2.
To lessen the impact at Tai Seng and PLAB, SBS later introduced a FAC service 90 (Till today) as the former 90 was already withdrawn before that. -

Actually, when sv. 92 was introduced in the 70s, it terminated at Jalan Bt Merah and used Leyland Victories. It was later extended to Clementi and used Hawke MB OF1417 followed by the O405.
