I remember back then I was so young/short and the windows of the top-deck of double decker seems so high.

yah loh. all these buses have doors. long time ago the buses got no door, so that you can pack the bus to capacity and still have some people hanging outside the door. heehee. you thought it only happens in India?
I was too short at that time to use the bell. Its a long strip of rubber from the front to the rear in the middle of the ceiling. So i like to sit behind the rear door where there is a small strip of rubber bell on the side wall for me to press.
The colourful tickets was early 80s i think? Strap to the conductor's money pouch and armed with a single hole puncher. My ticket is only the pink reddish one.....for kids. Adults got the other colours.
The windows also rattle like mad during the journey. :bsmilie: Suspension is super hard type. You can bounce around in your sit when the bus hits a bump.

tink ( i maybe wrong ) the diff is for the same service #, the green travels a shorter route while the white one travels the same route, but goes to some other roads before merging back with the green route.
anyway, dunno how many donkey years never take bus liao.....

When I recall my days staying in Toa Payoh; they essentially denote the same route, but taken in reversed directions.
I used to memorize bus numbers (licence plates), and used to be so amazed at 12:50am in the morning, a EB17 would pass by my block in front of my current block.
And not to forget, I managed to hop on Svc 168 from AMK to Orchard once, which was supposedly a treat, but since those buses weren't new if I remember; more like bought over from travel companies, I remember how packed it was. Can't remember even if there's a specific exit doorway or not
Taking those Leyland double decker was a treat to me last time. My grandpa used to bring me on those long trips. I like to sit upstairs right in front.

Ditto. Used to pretend I was the driver, while I was at it!
Had this funny feeling that the bus was travelling in between two lanes... only after many years later, I learnt this thing called parallax :bsmilie:
