Don't forget Sv. 961, Sv. 980 and Sv. 853 use different routes into Lor 1 Geylang. The same cannot be applied for Upper East Coast Ter as there's only ONE access route to the place.Originally posted by iveco:Service 14 has also been amended more than three times.

Also all Crawford St bus services were extended to Geylang Lor 1. I don't see a good reason why this can't be applied to the Marine Parade bus services to end at Upper East Coast.
Yup, or more precisely only 2 major and obvious routes there - 13 (via Siglap) or 853 (via Bedok South). Any other routes are not as direct as these 2.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Don't forget Sv. 961, Sv. 980 and Sv. 853 use different routes into Lor 1 Geylang.

Service 196 terminated at Buona Vista from end June 1992 to end Nov 1992. It has a relationship with service 148 (Clementi - Lor 1 Geylang). Service 148 was re-introduced on the same day when service 196 was cut short to Buona Vista, and was withdrawn on the same day service 196 was extended back to Clementi.Originally posted by freakybuses:was it in 1980s or 1990s?

Your last statement is regarding Marine Parade services extension to Upp East Coast?Originally posted by iveco:Svcs 961 & 980 used to ply Kallang Rd in the direction of Geylang Lor 1 until the former took over the Kallang Bahru/Lavender St sector from Svc 5. Half the MRP svcs (16, 76, 135) could use Bedok South while the rest (55,155) could use East Coast Rd. Remember, the members of 7 SIB and 3 Guards would love this extra bit of convenience.

SBST 10, 13, 14, 16, 55, 76, 135, 155 and weekends with TIBS853 = 9 services, serving the Upper East Coast Road section between Bedok Camp and Bedok South Ave 1. Isn't that an extremely too many services duplicating each other? Furthermore, is there really a demand to really command as many as 9 services? Although it would bring more alternatives for the NSmen at Bedok Camp as well as the residents, most of them would prefer taking Service 14 to Tanah Merah MRT. Lastly, Upper East Coast Terminal do not have the space to accommodate as many as 9 services at any one time.Originally posted by iveco:Svcs 961 & 980 used to ply Kallang Rd in the direction of Geylang Lor 1 until the former took over the Kallang Bahru/Lavender St sector from Svc 5.

The terminal has 8 queueing berths, 2 of which are in use.Originally posted by SBS9818A:I think Upper East Coast can accomodate max 6 services?
Originally posted by iveco:Your proposed idea seems to be not realy good. this makes 2 svcs from YCK - UEC, 2 svcs from AMK - Bedok... Furthermore some of the routes will have route duplications and having 197 to serve UEC instead of Bedok is a no-no. Many people will take 197 from Bedok and having it in UEC instead will only reduce pax.

i remembered that 148 was from toa payoh - buona vista. it was withdrawn and integrated with 26 which as extended from geylang bahru to toa payoh (from bedok). then 145 was extended from kent ridge to buona vista. was it reintroduced to ply geylang lor 1 and clementi?Originally posted by tranquilice:No.
Service 148 was re-introduced in June 1992 (on the same day when service 196 was shortened to Buona Vista) to operate between Clementi and Lor 1 Geylang when service 147 (Jurong East - Potong Pasir) skipped Lavender St and Victoria St/North Bridge Rd to ply Serangoon Rd/Jln Besar. Service 148 duplicated service 147 between Clementi town and Hill St/North Bridge Rd. Service 148 was withdrawn in Nov 1992 due to low demand and it happened to be the same day service 196 was extended back to Clementi.
yeah.... read the transitlink guide 2004 thread!Originally posted by ipodee:i tot i was a weird person who likes to read bus guides...my frens think i am a walking bus guide but nw i realize that i have got good company here... i have the bus guides from 1988 to 2002.

In my opinion, UEC is quite a white elephant due to its location.Originally posted by Superbus:Care to enlighten us the logic behind the proposed swap of Service 135 and Service 197?
The services at Upper East Coast Terminal or at least those plying Upper East Coast Road are more than adequate to cope with the demand.

Yes, service 148 was reintroduced to ply between Clementi and Lor 1 Geylang in June 1992, and was withdrawn in Nov 1992 due to low demand and route duplication with service 147.Originally posted by ipodee:i remembered that 148 was from toa payoh - buona vista. it was withdrawn and integrated with 26 which as extended from geylang bahru to toa payoh (from bedok). then 145 was extended from kent ridge to buona vista. was it reintroduced to ply geylang lor 1 and clementi?
