  Can any of you provide the following details...?
  
  - The rise and fall of Interchanges and Terminals
  - MRT Rationalisation in 1990s, 2000s
  - History of bus models used by SBS in 1970s - 1990s with pics...
  - Other relevant details related to the topic. (No conflicts please)
  
  Thank you.
  
  NB: This is mainly general post. I don't know if there's a thread before this... but maybe compile all the info here?

  STC did not merge but disposed all buses to the 3 almagated bus companies after it was gone in 1971.
