Regarding to (1):Originally posted by foxtrot1985:How about:
1) Why are there 3 services plying from Bedok to Tampines which are just 3 MRT stations away from each other (18, 38, 69)?
2) Why are there 3 services plying from Toa Payoh to Tampines (8, 28, 31)?
Yes, Service 178 has been around since the late 70s / early 80s.Originally posted by SBS9818A:AFAIK, Sv. 178 is a historical service, dating back from the days of Jurong Bus Terminal. It was handed over to TIBS in the late 80s, if I'm not mistaken.
Wasn't the old Upper Bt. Timah Rd Ter at Jln Anak Bukit area? I'm not sure.Originally posted by Yusry:Yes, Service 178 has been around since the late 70s / early 80s.
It used to terminate at Upper Bukit Timah Road, I think near the former Bukit Panjang round-about. It was extended to Woodlands in the mid-80s.
Yes. At former Ewart Circus.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Wasn't the old Upper Bt. Timah Rd Ter at Jln Anak Bukit area? I'm not sure.
Originally posted by Yusry:Oh ok, sorry read too fast. So did it terminate at the circus, like current Sv. 966 or just looped, like Sv. 15 today?
Yes. At former Ewart Circus.
As for service 178, you should have noticed I did [b]NOT mention Upper Bt. Timah Terminal. I specifically mentioned Bukit Panjang Round-About to avoid confusion with the Terminal.[/b]
I believe it might have terminated near the circus. Have to check the 80s bus guides to confirm.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Oh ok, sorry read too fast. So did it terminate at the circus, like current Sv. 966 or just looped, like Sv. 15 today?
