::Singapore Buses Crapbox::
-
I'm sure everyone here already learnt basic multiplication in school. No need you to teach us.

Note: The scenario below is entirely fictitious and is meant for entertainment. Do not take it seriously. (::Crapbox:: ^_^)
===============================
About 2~3 years into the future, the development of newer means of public transportation (Podbus, self-powered electric tram, hyperloop etc.) allows routes, especially straight routes and short local routes (i.e. feeders) to be commuted in a much shorter time; old-fashioned buses, however, still remain much in favour among Singaporeans. For a gradual transition to the new system, in addition to hardware installations, the LTA decides to take advantage of the bus numbering system and reserve services 600-999 for the new routes utilizing the faster and more efficient system. As more routes become optimised, the numbering system will gradually enlarge to 400-999 after the first phase, and 1-999 after the second phase.
===============================
Thus, in phase I, the buses currently occupying service numbers 600-999 are to be temporarily re-assigned new numbers. The LTA plan goes as follows:
- - Most existing service numbers from 1-599 remain as they are.
- - All scheme B services to add a prefix "B" (thus B621, B644, etc.) and be eventually phased out.
- - All other services numbered 600-999 to be renumbered, with trunks & feeders going to the 400s and most express / premium services going to the 500s.
==== The Big Squeeze ====
- - 410 renumbered 210.
- - BPS1 renumbered 309.
- - 811, 812, 803, 804, 800, 806 renumbered 411-416.
- - 920-927 renumbered 420-427.
- - 900-904, 911-913 renumbered 430-434, 441-443.
- - 950 renumbered 450.
- - 851-857 renumbered 451-457.
- - 860, 859 renumbered 458, 459.
- - 858 renumbered 468.
- - 882 renumbered 482.
- - 971E, 982E renumbered 471E, 489E.
- - 960-990 renumbered 460-490.
- - 941, 945, 947 renumbered 491, 495, 497.
- - 700 renumbered 500.
- - 868 renumbered 508.
- - 850E renumbered 510.
- - 951E renumbered 511.
- - 825 renumbered 529A.
- - 761 renumbered 551.
- - 651-664 (premium) renumbered 571-584.
Overall, the 400s are generally numbered as such:
- 400-409: parks / miscellaneous SBST services
- 410s: Yishun townlinks & feeders
- 420s: Bt Panjang feeders & Sungei Kadut / Mandai services
- 430s: Woodlands feeders
- 440s: Woodlands townlinks
- 450s: Yishun trunks (excl. 450)
- 460s: Woodlands trunks
- 470s: Bt Panjang trunks
- 480s: Sembawang & Choa Chu Kang trunks
- 490s: Bt Batok trunk & feeders
After Phase I, bus services at various SMRT interchanges (all sub-routes omitted, doesn't take into account any major service changes due to MRT openings or other factors yet):Bukit Batok: 61, 77, 106, 173, 177, 189, 452, 490, 491, 495, 497Bukit Panjang: 75, 176, 177, 180, 184, 420, 422, 470, 471E, 472, 475, 500Choa Chu Kang: 67, 172, 188, 190, 300-302, 307, 425, 427, 483, 485 (309, NR3 inbound only)Sembawang: 167, 459, 480-482Woodlands: 161, 168, 169, 178, 187, 425, 426, 430-434, 441-443, 450, 456, 460-466, 468, 469Yishun: 39, 85, 103, 171, 411-416, 451-459 -
All new routes introduced after Phase I will fall under the new routes category. Currently, the numbering plans for 600-999 are as follows:
- - 600-619: Trial routes
- - 620-699: Mid / long haul routes passing through CBD
- - 700-739: Other X-country routes
- - 740-799: Other mid / short intra-neighbourhood routes
- - 800-899: Feeders for western towns
- --- 800-829: Joo Koon / Boon Lay / JIS
- --- 830s: Jurong East
- --- 840s: Bt Batok
- --- 850s: Bt Panjang
- --- 860s: CCK
- --- 870s: Bt Merah
- --- 880s: Clementi
- --- 890s: (Reserved)
- - 900-999: Feeders for all remaining towns
- --- 900s: Pasir Ris
- --- 910s: Tampines
- --- 920s: Bedok
- --- 930s: Toa Payoh
- --- 940s: Bishan
- --- 950s: Hougang
- --- 960s: AMK
- --- 970s: Sengkang
- --- 980s: Punggol
- --- 990s: Serangoon
Routes in the 400-599 range, minus Bt Batok / Bt Panjang feeders, will remain where they are during their upgrade in Phase II. As older routes (current 1-399) are gradually phased out or reconfigured into the 600-999 range, newer, optimised routes will be introduced in the 1-399 range.

Wah if the numbering like that 999 can go every police stn in Singapore. So the route of 999 confirmed already. Cga to Tuas, (stops only at police stns... :-)

No one needs your bus multiplication table.

By right Bt Batok should renumbered 61,77,106,173,177 & 189 to 661,677,706,773,777 & 789.
CCK:67,172,188,190,Feeders to 667,772,788,790,730,732 & 737
BPJ:75,176,180,184 to 675,776,780 & 784
Woodlands:169,178 & 187 to 769,778 & 787
Yishun:171 to 771 and Sembawang 167 to 767
Can reuse the former numbers for future new svc

This bus disappeared from service in 2014 2 weeks before de-registration date, and was de-registered. But 2 weeks after de-registration, the bus re-appeared on the roads, and lifespan was extended to 2016. Give the registration no. of this bus.

Did you all noticed this? Some regos when you add or subtract 17/18, you will get the same suffixes. E.g., SBS6713M > SBS6730M, SBS2750G > SBS2768G, SBS8138K > SBS8155K, and the list goes on, and on, and on, and on. You name it all.

Hi. Is there any bus driver here who can tell me what is that signboard that is installed in front of some bus parking lots at SBS Transit bus interchanges? What do the signboards say?
I asked this question twice, but never had anyone (know how to) answer - until yesterday. Yesterday, I board a bus at Boon Lay Bus Interchange. While the bus drove out of the sawtooth berth, I saw the signboard. It was knocked down. Could be because the visibility level in the bus bay of Boon Lay Bus Interchange is low, that the bus driver could not not see the signboard. My suggestion is to replace the lighting with the lamps used in F1 Night Race.
When I saw the signboard, I found out what is on it. "REVERSING ONLY" (white colour) with a 'stop' icon (red and white colour), over the blue colour background. It is installed on bus parking lots where buses cannot drive straight through to leave the bus parking lot.

If the hundreds digit doesn't change, this should be the way.

I am service A. I was introduced by opperator X. I used to ply from Road E to Terminal S. In 2003, I was amended to ply from Interchange R to Road E. In 2011, I was amended to ply from Interchange T to Road F, with a new service B serving Road E. I can be esily merged with Service C. I duplicate service C from Road G to Road I. Identify Services A-C, Road E-I, Interchanges R and T, Terminal S and opperator X.

Bus videos don't seem to be popular except for new buses... No one has uploaded a Sv 43M video on YouTube since its introduction 9 months ago. M variant of 139 doesn't have videos either...
