Unused bus Nos.

When MRP closed, 853 and 13 looped there until around March 2002 when UEC Ter was ready for passenger use.Originally posted by Yusry:Just wondering. Can you recall if 13 was made to loop at Siglap Road before being amended to Upp East Coast? I remember 853 was the 1st service to UEC and 13 followed soon after, but cannot remember if 853 was amended before or on the closure of MP Terminal. -
Also interesting to note that boarding and alighting activities at Upper East Coast Terminal was only allowed until much later.Originally posted by service_238:When MRP closed, 853 and 13 looped there until around March 2002 when UEC Ter was ready for passenger use.

What about the rest of the former MP bus svcs?
And 160 and 181 are free for SBS to use, along with 41, 47-49, 102, 114-118. -

btw, other MP svcs all loop at Siglap Rd..... wondered why they cant terminate at Upp East Coast -
If Services 16, 55, 76 and 155 were to extend to Upper East Coast Terminal, it would result in duplication of routes.Originally posted by freakybuses:185 too! hope that SBS use that no. to serve CCK BP BBT area!!!

Service 146 was later extended to Clementi.Originally posted by Yusry:146
Toa Payoh - Pasir Panjang (withdrawn) -
Sv. 13 was amended drastically, as if it was a new service. Today, the strecth between Lavender St and Jln Eunos is the only remains of the original sv 13. At least, it still goes by Geylang Serai. Or else the song "Bas Nombor Tigabelas" (Bus Number 13, sung by popular Singapore born singer, M. Nasir) wouldn't be relevent anymore.Originally posted by Yusry:History of 13
Kg Chai Chee - Ghim Moh
Eunos - Ghim Moh
Eunos - Yio Chu Kang
Yio Chu Kang - Marine Parade
Yio Chu Kang - Upp East Coast
From the start, 13 has never been withdrawn, only amended. -
So Sv. 13 was not withdrawn and reinstated shortly after, huh?Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:Sv. 13 was amended drastically, as if it was a new service.

I don't think service 13 was withdrawn before. I'm interested how the service got the Yio Chu Kang - Lavender St route.Originally posted by SBS9818A:So Sv. 13 was not withdrawn and reinstated shortly after, huh? -
why did they have to close marine parade terminal?Originally posted by Yusry:Just wondering. Can you recall if 13 was made to loop at Siglap Road before being amended to Upp East Coast?

To build Victoria School.Originally posted by ipodee:why did they have to close marine parade terminal? -
While we are discussing about service 13, it plied the following the following destinations prior to Kg Chai Chee - Ghim Moh.
Bedok Road/Upper Changi Road - Commonwealth Avenue/North Buona Vista Road (1972) Chai Chee Terminus - Commonwealth Avenue (1977)
In 1972, there an alternative service 13 (known as service 13A) that plied East Coast (route like former service 11) and Stirling Road estate (ala 155 looping at MacPherson Estate) -
Its a lame decision... What has it become of now? a school field!Originally posted by Yusry:To build Victoria School.

Interesting. So, before SBS came about, which company was in charge of sv. 13?Originally posted by Yusry:While we are discussing about service 13, it plied the following the following destinations prior to Kg Chai Chee - Ghim Moh.

Associated Bus Services Pte. Ltd.Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:Interesting. So, before SBS came about, which company was in charge of sv. 13? -
and when 13 was first introduced?Originally posted by Yusry:Associated Bus Services Pte. Ltd. -
I have no idea. I have yet to find bus guides prior to 1972. I remember ^tamago^ mentioning that he found some 1950's and 1960's bus directories in NRL Closed Stacks.Originally posted by freakybuses:and when 13 was first introduced? -
15x belongs to toa payoh? wad about 151 153 154 156 and 158? only 151 153 154 goes to jln toa payoh along PIE at most while 156 and 158 don't go close to toa payoh at all.Originally posted by freakybuses:Yishun trunk has no 86x
-SBS has a numbering system in the past. 14x and 15x belong to TPH, 13x and 16x to AMK, 12x to St Michael's, 5x to Bishan, 17x originally for Woodlands until handover in 1980s
I guess based on 112 113 119 and the ex-111 which went to hougang south & central, 11x belongs to Hougang too -
Note the phrase in the past.Originally posted by foxtrot1985:15x belongs to toa payoh? wad about 151 153 154 156 and 158? only 151 153 154 goes to jln toa payoh along PIE at most while 156 and 158 don't go close to toa payoh at all.

Yes, or formerly Upper Serangoon 10.8km. We had 110, 111, 112 a long time back and 118 introduced sometime in the 1980s to supplement 111. -
was no. 18 used before the 1980s (Other than STC)?

The previous version of service 151 operated between Toa Payoh and New Bridge Rd. Current service 158 used to operate between Toa Payoh and Bedok.Originally posted by foxtrot1985:15x belongs to toa payoh? wad about 151 153 154 156 and 158? only 151 153 154 goes to jln toa payoh along PIE at most while 156 and 158 don't go close to toa payoh at all.

One interesting point was that Toa Payoh has the most consecutive service numbers at one time. It ran from 139 - 159, with 154 being the odd one out. 151, 153, 156 and 158 do not end at Toa Payoh now, but all of them used to. 151 and 156 were withdrawn and re-introduced while 153 and 158 were amended.Originally posted by foxtrot1985:15x belongs to toa payoh? wad about 151 153 154 156 and 158? only 151 153 154 goes to jln toa payoh along PIE at most while 156 and 158 don't go close to toa payoh at all.

Don't forget 149 (TPY-CGA), merged with 31 in 1993; and 152 (BDK-TPY), merged with 28 in 2000.
BTW, where do the 08x family belong to? -
I believe 154 used to terminate at Toa Payoh.Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:One interesting point was that Toa Payoh has the most consecutive service numbers at one time.

Anyway back in 1972, 154 entered Toa Payoh via Upper Aljunied Road, Serangoon Road and Braddell Road. It then cuts through TP Estate and exits via Jalan Toa Payoh and continues via the normal route. -
In the olden days,Originally posted by iveco:BTW, where do the 08x family belong to?
80/81: Tampines Road Upper Changi Road
82/83: Punggol Road End
84: Upper Serangoon Road End
85: Upper Serangoon Road 10.8km (current Hougang South)
86: Tampines Way (current Hougang Ave 2)
So we could say 8x series were North-East buses as they are now.
