  These are not cameo spottings, most of them are perm btw, do u even know what is a cameo? I assume you are new here so i tell what a cameo and a perm Perm bus are example TIB502B on 858, this is a perm bus on 858 TIB471G on 965, perm TIB890E on 971E, perm Secondly all spare bus will cameo around, 550L is a spare so it will never have a perm service. Thirdly cameo is a perm bus spotted on other bus service TIB1032J perm 911 spotted on 912 TIB1020T perm 854 spotted on 856 TIB485S perm 963 spotted on 969 Off note: 507M is perm 75S201 replacing 445H. It is not weird because 507M will go to WLDEP at around 8 or 9am and return to BPJ at 12.30pm or 1+pm I think u need to immerse yourself in knowledge about buses first I was like you but after asking some seniors, i understand the bus terms here after 3 years of doing this cameo spottings

  Perm bus are example

  TIB502B on 858, this is a perm bus on 858
  TIB471G on 965, perm
  TIB890E on 971E, perm

  Secondly all spare bus will cameo around, 550L is a spare so it will never have a perm service.

  Thirdly cameo is a perm bus spotted on other bus service

  TIB1032J perm 911 spotted on 912
  TIB1020T perm 854 spotted on 856
  TIB485S perm 963 spotted on 969

  Off note: 507M is perm 75S201 replacing 445H. It is not weird because 507M will go to WLDEP at around 8 or 9am and return to BPJ at 12.30pm or 1+pm

  I was like you but after asking some seniors, i understand the bus terms here after 3 years of doing this cameo spottings

  Ok, now I understand better, thanks!

  Reply to Off note: I boarded 507M at 12.15 along Holland Village area and alighted at Shell Kiosk in Bukit Timah around 12.45-12.50 because bus is too crowded so transfer to 184, when I reached back BPJ at around 1 plus, bus was opposite of road when I was about to Board 190.

  The time u spot was similar to buses having S1 duty (another split shift duty). S1 and S2 are split shift duty where driver take a bus, take a split break then start shift again S2 start late near 7am, off at 9-10am. Rest for 3-4h then start back at 12 or 1+pm. End shift around 6.30pm to 9pm. S1 start really early near to first bus timing or before 6.30am, end shift at earliest 11am or maybe 10.30am, latest 1pm. Start shift at 2.30pm to 5.45pm. End shift around 6.30pm to 9pm also.

  Some users here are bus drivers, i am not even one and i only own a Class 3. I got these knowledge from conversing with bus drivers and camping at WRI at different periods of time thus able to decipher the earliest time of S1 and S2 timings. Took me 3 years to understand the shifts though, but these are all SMRT ones. SBST shift ask someone else :D

  Still, you have quite a good knowledge about buses there!  You serve as a good 'mentor' for new users here, like me when I was new here.
