  Do all TT bus drivers practice jumpbus?

  And the duty codes refer to the bus or the driver? Thanks in advance

  If a company proposes jumpbus, it'll look good to LTA because it optimizes the use of limited resources.

  Its specfically made for SBS, could be an in-house design.

  Almost 3 years ago, we launched our tool to assist the community in calculating registration plate checksums for public buses. We now include the new SG plates used by "GCM".

  SG Bus Registration and Checksum Validator

  If a service is declared WAB, does the SWT automatically becomes a WAB service?

  Excuse me, your 'validator' doesn't work.

  Hi. Is it okay if you could share with us the method on how to derive the suffix alphabet, besides sharing with us the "validator" that you created? Thanks.

  Because apparently, this information is kept confidential. Why is it that the general public cannot know how to derive the suffix, but are only given "validators" to use? I do not understand.

  We used the algorithm that is known to all in wikipedia.

  Here's the link:

  I meant the formula or recipe. Unless you mean that the same algorithm is for all kinds of the license plate, then I have nothing to argue.

  Well, if this is sensitive information, just say so. I can understand, and I will not probe further. Sorry.

  Thanks for creating this excellent validator, though.

  By the way, may I know what programing language did you all use to create this?

  Is it Java, C++, C# or some other programming language?

  Yes. The same algorithm is used for all vehicle license plates registered in Singapore.

  Not sensitive, the formula is per the link that have been referenced in the previous post.

  This example was created in Java.

  Will all buses be fitted with the DDUs? 

  Those current SBST buses Blue DDUs will they be replaced?

  Yes, it is most likely that all buses will have the new LTA Trapeze DDU. 2809 already had its old DDU replaced by the new LTA DDU.

  969A is still run by AMDEP buses

  However, 386 is not an intratown as it does not call at the int twice. However, some residents are already wanting an alternate service

  Also, why was 239 withdrawned?

  I have a qn...

  When the concept buses have entered svc, what will happen to the current SG plate buses? Export overseas? Refurbishment with installation of would-be basic amenities like PIS, headrests, sliding plug doors?

  Especially interested in the SBST bunch... Imagine 10 years down after GCM and we still see design that belongs to the 2000s... Which is what SBST buses are now ugh
