I remember before they chased away the residents at kampongs along telok paku and nicoll drive, bus 1 used to ply from Delta Circus to Changi Village, 1A (later numbered 3) too but it took an alternative route. Bus 2 plies from the old Commonwealth Ave terminal (the current Commonwealth Ave road sits on top of the terminal) to Changi Village. Bus 1 and 3 hv since become obsolete although there is a new bus 3 now plying between punggol and tampines. Bus 2 has been shortened to New Bridge Road terminal

198 was from upper jurong road terminal before it moved to the old Jurong Interchange at Jurong Port Road and Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim

The first Tibs buses are based inYishun and Woodlands interchanges. Bus 850 from Yishun to Shenton Way and 851, 852 are some of the earliest services. 850 has been abolished after the mrt went to yishun. 851 remains basically intact. 852 used to ply fm yishun to the old jurong interchange. Woodlands buses starts from the old woodlands interchange near the CIQ. My memory fails me here but I think the earliest Tibs buses that operate from here are 900, 901 etc. This is because bus 178, 181(current day 961) and 169 used to belong to Sbs and they operate from this interchange. This defunct interchange has recently been demolished for building the new and expanded CIQ complex.
