Ewart. Very simple route. Lim Chu Kang Rd, Choa Chu Kang Rd and Upp Bt Timah Rd.Originally posted by Yusry:Which Upp Bt Timah Road terminal did this 179 terminate? Bukit Panjang or Ewart?
28. Noted. 17? Have it existed before? Details pls.Originally posted by freakybuses:add 28, 17 to your list
Hmmm..... I guess 172 evolved from 179 being extended to Prince EdwardOriginally posted by The_Bus_Guide:Ewart. Very simple route. Lim Chu Kang Rd, Choa Chu Kang Rd and Upp Bt Timah Rd.
I remember seeing 17 in one of the old bus guides after 1981 edition.Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:28. Noted. 17? Have it existed before? Details pls.
17: Changi Point-Prince EdwardOriginally posted by Yusry:I remember seeing 17 in one of the old bus guides after 1981 edition.
I think it plied from somewhere in east like Siglap or Marine Parade.
Sv. 63 was later amended to end at Bt Merah Interchange in Stage 3 of the Telok Blangah New Bus Plan. It was subsequently withdrawn in 1981.Originally posted by Yusry:A tidbit about service 63.
The original 63 was a service from MacPherson to Alexandra Road (Labrador).
The route of this 63 is exactly the same as the reintroduced 63 (Bt Merah - MacPherson and subsequently Rumah Tinggi - MacPherson) between MacPherson and Tiong Bahru Road/Lower Delta Road junction.
From LDR, it went by Depot Road and Alexandra Road before terminating at Labrador.
172 and 179 co-existed. 172 had plied Lim Chu Kang - Prince Edward since 1980 at least. 179 (LCK - Bt Timah) was withdrawn in 1983 (methinks). The second 179 (Bt Batok - New Bridge Rd) was introduced in 1986.Originally posted by Yusry:Hmmm..... I guess 172 evolved from 179 being extended to Prince Edward
