Nope. All buses going to Woodlands Centre can have an E or not. If got E means after doing that trip towards the west or east, when it return to interchange, it doesnt continue to the other side of the town.
Even 811/812/307 used the E concept, SBST side it will be 291 n 293.
Same concept applied for 291 and 293 using the sign T as a sign that it is terminating at Tampines after doing it west or east loop.
Exactly what it says on the EDS.
The T sign differs between Tampines and Pasir Ris.

Wonder why the T plate differs for both Pasir Ris Townlinks and Tampines Townlinks. Last time all use the same big T plate, then switch to the current one used by the Pasir Ris one. The plate was then changed again to the current one used by Tampines Townlinks, probably due to some passengers who complained. But still the Pasir Ris Terminating plate sometimes shows up on Tampines Townlinks too.

Confusion?
Different plates then will cause confusion...
If unify to use the letter T only then will be more simple... If all use PSR then ppl will know the bus will terminate...

Maybe all the Volgren bendy bodywork spare parts at WLDEP? But I find it weird, shouldn't they consolidate all the Volgren and Volgren bendy buses together and not spread it around 3 depots since its just a small fleet?
-
Now WLDEP have 0 Volgren rigids since it was taken off 950 and 178 in which both became WAB

Maybe got link to when WLDEP opens? Heard that TIB1188T at KJDEP for some paint job
-
If like that then i can ask why DAF all based at KJDEP and why all the deregsitered Lances based at AMDEP. Why does Scania buses all at WLDEP even when they are deregistered, they are still WLDEP, so does Lance at AMDEP.

What are the pros and cons of driving short trunk, long haul trunk and feeder buses? Feeder buses have their perm buses so does short n long trunk routes.
May i know for bus 284,947,941. How many trips they have per shift? I suspect more than 20 near to 30

I guess the following:
Pros - Shorter run time (Usually 10 ~ 30 mins, except for Intratowns which can take 1h to end run), more breaks for the driver
Cons - More duty trips (due to shorter run times), heavier load especially during peak hours (same for Intratowns, which are otherwise like trunk services in terms of distance per full run)
-
Is it that speed limit for buses is 50 instead of 60?????
then why even show that sticker saying 60 km/h, might as well remove it. -.-
-
60 mainly for expressway la...Normal road usually 50-55

78km/h if you are exiting BKE at Dairy Farm Road.
-
62,136 km/h if you tether a Mercedes Benz O405 on to Voyager 1

at least 20 i suppose, out of which more than half of the trips are back to back..or maybe just 1 min break.. -

I counted 25 trips for 941 maybe close to 30 trips on the 2nd page, 947 i think around 30 bcoz journey too short. 284 i think 40 maybe, 275 shld be the same as 947 around 30
