Back to the past...(Part 2)

In this 2nd part,I am going to do a brief introduction about the rise and fall of some bus interchanges/terminals in the past.

1.Somapah Interchange
Somapah Interchange opend in 1982 near the present Singapore Expo Hall Carpark.It downgraded due to the fact that many services from the interchange were shortened such as 155.It closed down in 1989 and is Currently being used as a temporary storage depot for construction equipment and materials for the rapidly developing Changi Business Park, which was once Somapah Village.

2.Sin Ming Rd Bus Terminal
Sin Ming Rd Bus Terminal resembles the roadside terminals in the 1970s where there is a small booth the drivers report to when they finished their duties.After the demise of CSS 605,the terminal is closed down.
The Defunct Sin Ming Rd Bus Terminal where CSS 605 used to stop.

3.Sembawang Rd End/Admiralty Rd West Bus Terminal
The two terminals were close after Sembawang interchange was open

Back to the past...(Part 1)

In this series,I will find buses of the past from the WWW and post it here.First stop:
NISSAN U31F

TIBS(Now know as SMRT Buses)put these buses on revenue service in 1983.At that time,the particular bus model had the most advanced technology from Japan and there were many safety measures on the bus.It was phrased out in the 1990s.
