Singapore Buses route 153

Service 153 is a trunk route from Bukit Merah to Hougang Central, plying through Upper Serangoon, Toa Payoh, PIE, Bukit Timah, Farrer, Queenstown and Bukit Merah.

The demand is moderate and the loading has given away to the North East Line and Circle Line since 2003. Unanimously, this is also called an Austin Lazaroo’s route. Service 153 used to have Mercedes-Benz O305s and Volvo Olympian 2-Axles from 1993 to 2003. Service 153 remains a majority fleet of Volvo Olympian 3-Axles until November 2013, where it was replaced by Volvo B9TLs, and some of the VO3X joined the SLBP foray.
