I was born in 1950 in Penang but went to school in Singapore after a short stay in Thailand. I first attended De La Salle Primary School and then went on to St. Joseph's, from which I graduated in 1968. From some of your descriptions, I suspect you were probably there too, unless you attended Raffles Institution.<BR/>I particularly enjoyed the descriptions of what the buses were like as I had to catch two each morning to get to Bras Basah Road from Pasir Panjang, where I lived just next to Haw Par Villa. So the many pictures I was able to see on the link to the www.singas.co.uk site you provided was a bonus. I promise to visit your site again when I have a little tiem to spare.

Each make can be subdivided into various models, eg for Mercedes, there are OF1413, OF1113, LP1113, 321, 322 and 312 models.<br />Total number of buses listed in GTO's report: 2033<br />Number of buses in ROV register : 2081<br />48 buses unaccounted of. Strange. How can 48 big buses dissappeared and nobody know where they were.<br />From the list, the only make that is common to both SAF and SBS is Bedford. It could be the Bedfords which you are referring to.<br />Anyway, after the GTO took over SBS management, the company sold or scrap all the Bedford, AEC, Seddon, Fuso, Guy, Isuzu, Leyland and Austin buses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-56220430885173117132007-02-05T12:49:00.000+08:002007-02-05T12:49:00.000+08:00Hi Peter

Singaporeans are fond of giving acronyms for everything.<br />There is a confusion about school passes. The school issue bus passes free and can be used on all buses. These school issued passes has photos on them to prvent abuse. The ones issued by the bus are monthly passes which have to be purchased from their respective depots and used only on their buses. Cannot be used on other companies' buses. It comes in a form of a card, with the company's logo or name, month and then 2 columns, "IN" and "OUT". Below the in "IN" and "OUT" columns are numbers 1 to 31 depending on the number of days in the month. The conductor will punch a hole on the date on the "IN" side. When going home, he will punch on the "OUT" side. Sometimes these fellows anyhow punch on the dates, ignoring the "IN" and the "OUT" and sometimes they don't even bother to punch. At the end of the month the card will be full of holes. These passes are not valid for weekends and holidays.<br /> <br />Easy bus has 2 routes:<br />1 goes from Jurong Rd via Portsdown Rd/North Bouna Vista Rd/Pasir Panjang Rd, ends at Alexandra Rd junction<br />2 same as 1 except via Clementi Rd & Ayer Rajah Rd<br /><br />The relics from the Arab-Isrealis war are AMX-10 tanks. The IH trucks are Australian made, either MINDEF buy them or donated free when the Australian forces left Singapore.

I sure wonder whether those acronyms were a quick measure by someone (government?) when the buses were amalgamated into 4 different groups. What do you think?<br /><br />I am not aware that each bus company issued their own concession pass. Must be after I had left school. IN my time our school issued us with a students concession pass and this allowed us to claim for students fare on any bus company - up to 1972. Before the student concession pass was introduced I think there was a practice where when one wore school uniform and one could automatically claim for student concession. If you a student and did not have a student pass or in unfirom, either way you could not claim for the concession.<br /><br />Friend can you help me on this. There was Easy Bus COmpany which ply between Jalan Jurong Kechil and Pasir Panjang. Can you tell me the route it took?<br /><br />I got a student concession pass but it has someone's wife photo on it.<br /><br />SDAF IH trucks - were these usually used by the Reservists because they were relics from the Israeli-Arab War of 1967? Seems this brand had overheating problem and faulty exhaust. Commonly seen at the Pasir Laba Reservist Field Camp. When I was there, the MT Line was always repairing these trucks and no Reservists enjoyed sitting on them because of the exhaust fumes filtered back into the truck when the wind blew.<br /><br />The Shenton Way terminus was opposite the old Sing Poly only in the 1970s. In the 1960s, it was then opposite the now MAS Building because Shenton Way was a dead-end road because of godowns between Palmer Road and Anson Road. Buses had to make a U-turn before heading back to Robinson Road. I used to go to the Metropiltan YMCA down at Palmer Road as late as 1967.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-43427028835924187762007-01-30T13:07:00.000+08:002007-01-30T13:07:00.000+08:00Some corrections on Lam's posting:

It was one of the most busy terminus in the 1970s and 1980s.<br />Sorry, now is Peter's turn, #200 was operated by UBC, not ABC. <br />The schools issue bus concession passes which entitle students to pay a fare of 10 cents irrespective of distance travelled on any bus company. The bus companies (at that time UBC, ABS, ABC) came up with their own card type passes which Chuck had described. The card type passes can only be used on the particular bus company's buses only and is only valid for 2 trips, go to school and go home.<br />Anyone still have one of these card type passes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-41919581317950267012007-01-25T11:27:00.000+08:002007-01-25T11:27:00.000+08:00My grandmother used to say: "D'ont spend future mo...My grandmother used to say: "D'ont spend future money", meaning money not earned yet.

But it is a fact that gangsterism among them was a probem. In the GTO report that I mentioned, it was reported that one of the officials seconded to clean up the bus companies was a senior official from CID, or Criminal Investigation Dept; (Mah Bow Tan was an industrial and systems engineer from Mindef, incidentally). His duty was to deal with this problem. Subsequently, he headed the Operations Dept of the newly formed SBS where presumably the problem was the most serious. <br /><br />Again, I emphasize, all these is from memory. Reliability/accuracy probably not 100%.

Although some of the ...Thanks for the bus memories. Although some of the conductors & bus drivers' background might be dubious my experiences with them had been very positive to this day. <br /><br />Back when I was a Primary 2 student in Jalan Eunos Primary School (1965), on a few occasions I had spent my meager allowance (20 cents - 5 cents for a sugar drink, 5 cents for a greasy plate of fried kwayteow or meehoon for recess. That leaves me the ten cents to take a bus to & from school) for the bus fare on sweets or kropok. Thus I would usually have to walk home because I forgot to save up the 5 cents for the bus fare. I was a small skinny little tyke with a torn heavy book bag & always have to push my way up into the crowded bus. I remembered the conductor would hauled me up & yelled at the adults to make room for me to move inside the bus. Also when the conductor came to collect my bus fare I would tearfully told him I lost my 5 cents in school & he was very kind to let me stay on the bus instead of kicking me out of the bus. I think it might be a Hock Lee bus. Some of those drivers & conductors might look mean but my experiences with them show me that they do have kindness in their hearts for the poor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-43996253682357238222007-01-17T23:49:00.000+08:002007-01-17T23:49:00.000+08:00For the first photo, do you think the man hanging ...For the first photo, do you think the man hanging onto the moving bus with the larger part of his body outside the bus is dangerous?

He replied: "Lam, when in a mob, everyone dares to be a hero, just delivering one punch per person would send the poor guy to heaven..."
