  How do I calculate new bus regos, for example:
  
  SMB387*
  
  How do I calculate the letter and stuff?

   

  Thanks!

  It is simple actually. The sequence for letters is A,Y,U,S,P,L,J,G,D,B,Z,X,T,R,M,K,H,E,C and back to A. SMB387U because after 387 is 388S. So just follow the letter sequence, u will understand. That how i memorized them

  How to calculate for SMB plate?

  Download an app from AppStore called Singapore Number Plates.
  
  It allows you to calculate any kind of plate suffixes.
  
  Just use the Suffix calculator, 
  
  Key in "SMB" in the prefix box,
  
  And type any random 4, 3, 2 or 1 digit number at the number box
  
  And then press "Get Suffix".
  
  That is how I got SBS5756X.

  So SMB386Y and SMB385A.
  
  SMB384C
  SMB383E
  SMB382H
  SMB381K
  SMB380M
  
  Right?

  Addtional notes:

  In tens, for example SMB389 to SMB390, it is 'SMB390J' instead of 'SMB390L', skip 1 letter.

  In hundreds, for example SBS3199 to SBS3200, skip 8 letters and you get SBS3200X

  In thousands, for example TIB999 to TIB1000, it's the same and you get TIB999B and TIB1000B

  Or you could use our tool, which can assist in calculating registration plate checksums for SBS/TIB/SMB buses. This is developed by one of our Singaporean colleague.

  SG Bus Registration and Checksum Validator

  And yes this is our first post, we are a research group specializing in public transit (transportation) matters to help operators around the world to do their job - serving the public, better.

  Our next topic would be to look at the fare variance and time to travel between different modes of transportation in Singapore, especially between premium services and trains.

  Do drop us a message if you have any suggestions!

  I wonder why are they changing the wiper arms of the EEV scanias, the way the arms on each scania look so weird compared to the original ones, and also they bend to the wrong angle some too high, some too low until flat.

  There wasn't IIRC.

  And I want to ask a question, please reply ASAP:

  Years back, when I wasn't even 10 years old(around 2003 - 2004, cant remember exact year), I remember I saw a news article of a VO3X B1 caught fire and the rear was torn from the main body. Anyone can comfirm which bus is it and enlighten me with the details?
