Svc 24 had its route intact except for the shifting of AMK Int since Sunday, 25th June 1983. that's the best info i've got.. 1978? i dun think so..

Svc 82, i suppose, also had almost its route intact since 1978.. which is Punggol to Shenton Way area..

Svc 170, with no changes (Johore Bahru - Queen Street) since before 1973 except for Johore side.. once operated by United Bus Company (UBC) before amalgamation in 1973 to form SBS..

I guess it's services 2, 7, 9, 10 and 14. They may have existed as early as 1978.

Service 82 has changed its route before, from Upp Serangoon Rd/Hougang Ave 8 to Hougang Ave 2/Ave 10.

70: Jln Kayu (End) - Prince Edward Rd via Paya Lebar Rd [1979]
74: Ang Mo Kio - Clementi via Bt Timah Rd [1979]
82: Punggol Rd End - Prince Edward Rd via Upp Serangoon Rd [1979]
84: Upp Serangoon Rd (End) - Lim Teck Kim Rd [1979]
124: St. Michael's - Telok Blangah Way [1979]
130: Sin Ming Rd (Vehicles Reg Off) - Anson Rd via Balestier Rd [1979]

159: Toa Payoh - Ang Mo Kio via Lor Chuan [1979] (now extended to Sengkang)
169: Ang Mo Kio - Woodlands via Sembawang Rd and Canberra Rd
[1979] (amended in 1996)
171: Sembawang Rd (Nee Soon Camp) - Queen St via Mandai Lake Rd and Bt Timah Rd [1979]
174: Nanyang University - New Bridge Rd via Bt Timah Rd and Orchard Rd [1979]

Regarding Svc 82.. that is a minor change lah.. we have to consider Area-to-area similarities without too much changes to its general route.. or else quite hard since other than Singapore sector of Svc 170, i dun think the rest escaped urbanisation..
