In 1982, the company ran with a fleet of 37 buses and two services, 160 and 167. Later, more services were handed over to them by the government along with the tender to operate services in the northern region, mainly Yishun and the developing Woodlands New Town. In 1995, as part of the government''s plan to make the local bus system more competitive, 16 SBS services were handed over to TIBS along with the tender to operate bus services in the north-east corridor, mainly the developing towns Sengkang and Punggol as well as Bukit Panjang. In 1996, TIBS began operations at the Woodlands Regional Bus Interchange, Singapore''s first underground bus interchange. It was also the first bus interchange designed to accommodate articulated, or bendy, buses. TIBS used articulated buses, some of which were designed by world-renowned designer Pininfarina and known as the Habit bendy buses, on a large scale in its fleet, in contrast to the double-deckers used by SBS Transit.
