goodbye 274

I hope no one thinks i am crazy for taking these pictures !!!

and its going away ... in 2 days time , bus service 274 will be terminated ... and another service 175 will replace , not exactly , but serve as a substitute to 274 ... its a the change for the better ... as it goes to TOWN !!! and clementi interchange ... wonder if i could take it to school .... and other places ... which is not important to mention ... but nevertheless, the service 274 will not be forgotten for me...

for the whole of my 17 years living in this ulu estate ... depot road ... the bus service 274 has been the bus that transport residents of the estate in and out ... to and from bmc the town central of my area ....

since then, theres this lousy , un-air conditioned , kampong, metal railings , noisy , shaky , and remember the seats ? its smooth pvc ... unlike today, at least theres some patterns on it ... yes... thats when 274 is there already !

and now ... theres aircon-ed 274 with tv mobile .... what a change ....

oo ! and remember the old bmc interchange ? theres this dark brick walls , with this old school clock hanging from the roof ... no escalators then ... and i think the current overhead bridge was not there then .... we had to cross the road ... which i think was better ... haha ...

and the uncles ! whooo ... i could remember their looks that everytime i am at the interchange waiting for the bus, i would look out for the drivers... when i see them walking on bus park , ooh ! i know 274 will be here soon ....

thats 17 years worth of memories and under such short notice ... its gone for the good .... i understand it though ... ever since 57 have been introduced ... it always 'steals customers' from 274 .... it always come before 274 and all the people will get on it 1st leaving no one for 274 (people who missed 57 not included) ... and now, often, you'll see empty 274s making its circle round the estate ...

now its going into the history book !!!

Thank You 274 !!!
