A ride down memory lane and across the Causeway on Green Bus Company service No. 1

The Green Bus Company was owned by the family of ICA head of strategic communications and media relations Patrick Ong.

Now, he still finds himself at the Woodlands Checkpoint regularly as part of his professional duties, facilitating media coverage of ICA initiatives and preparing officers ahead of interviews or media events taking place there. Mr Ong’s aunts, Madam Ong Bee Geok, 75, and her sister, were regular passengers. In Singapore’s pre-independence days, crossing the Causeway was easier as passports were not required, she recalled, and day trips to Malaysia were little different from long rides to the farthest parts of Singapore.

The inauguration of the bus service to Johor Bahru on May 1, 1950, coincided with the company’s acquisition of a fleet of Vulcan omnibuses, and the opening of its $100,000 garage and workshop.
