I have found more former terminals from Sgwiki like Tanjong Belayer Ter and Pasir Panjang Rd Ter (near Clementi Rd). Does anyone knows about the location of Tanjong Belayer Terminal where svc 22 and 215 used to terminate?
And is the location for Pasir Panjang Rd Ter is somewhere near the Fragance Hotel?
Tanjong Berlayer was actually a pier just off Pasir Panjang Rd (around Labrador Villa). It was announced that the pier would be permanently closed in 1983, when the Pasir Panjang Ferry Terminal was commercially used then the pier.
Pasir Panjang Terminal was previously near Clementi Rd.

Is it the old SBS Jurong Bus Park as well? When was the old Jurong Bus Interchange torn down? Is it 1989 or 1990?
Any older bus fans can verify this?
I think the old Jurong bus interchange was demolished in 1990, the year when its relocated to Boon Lay when BNL MRT stn opened. Then the old Jurong bus interchange was converted into SBS bus depot for several years before it became an empty land for storing deregistered SBS buses for overseas shipment.

It's confirmed they were used as private roads for the RAF. Other roads include Ottawa Rd, Transit Rd, Montreal Dr.
What is the old bus terminal that is near Heartland mall which had closed a few years ago because I remembered I took service 328 and it terminated there. It is now a parking lot for travel buses.

Can anyone tell me where is the exact location of Chai Chee Terminal? I can post the photos after the death of Chai Chee Terminal.
BTW, there seems to be a bus bay along Chai Chee St (Opp Ping Yi Secondary School), I can post the photo for you since it is just a 1 minute walk to there LOL

The Blk 147 bus stop used to be part of Tampines Ave 5 Terminal. It was then, the "longest" bus stop in Singapore, before its terminal was eventually shifted to the new permanent location, which is the current Tampines Bus Interchange.

no idea. im assuming they have a wide u turn at (or just before) the junction of ave 4/5 as developments beyond that junction were not so developed yet..

Woodlands Int (former) - located at Woodlands Town Centre (Blk 1A-6A)
Last time, Woodlands feeder turns in. :)

Yes. Until somewhere in early 2003, this terminus used to be a looping point for 911/912/913. Illegal parking at the bus bays were a common occurrence due to a short walking distance to the nearby Sheng Siong Supermarket or the Food Centre nearby.
