  Really ?! I've not seen this MAN , SBS 81S, since 3 years ago.

  its not easy to spot it either.. theres only one of it.. it was easily seen on the former Hougang South Interchange, together with other training buses like mk3, Nissan buses.
  
  anyone knows where do the training bus stop for a break after HG sth int is gone?

  Sorry, momentary lapse in me too. 0081S is in SBST livery, so it will be around for some time, I guess.

  Correct. The MAN bus is in SBST livery now. I last saw it in 2003.

  are the SBS leisure buses (used on JIS and now, sv183 n 502), used to be NAC.. so what were their NAC regos range from? and what are their "PA" regos range? and do the buses return to their original rego after being registered back to SBS37xx?" from their PA reg?
  
  and, SP buses or cameos, do the drivers belong to the original rt BCs, or the cameo=ed service BC driving them?
  
  eg. SBS1881T an SP, can be driven by any SP driver?
  eg. SBS9026T (sv168 ), cameos on sv9, so BC on this bus is a sv9 BC or sv168 BC?

  PA16xx
  
  SP buses or cameos are driven by the original route BCs. They are normally used because their original buses are sent for repairs, regular maintenance checks, charters, cameos for other routes, etc.
  
  eg SBS1881T can be driven by anyone; SBS9026T cameo on sv9 will be driven by a sv9 BC

  yes, they were NAC, no different from the other O.405 NAC/CAC's. but though the range is not one single continuous batch of buses, it's limited to the 3723-3755 region.
  
  the PA rego is somewhere in the 16xx region.
  
  the buses took back their same SBS rego when they were converted from PA back to SBS.

  the JI routes do not belong to SBS.. rather, SBS won the tender to operate the routes for 3 years from 01 june 2000 to 31 may 2003
  
  thats why rego have to be PA, and not retain as SBS. btw,. SBS has hope to win the tender again.. the buses wasnt repainted to SBS transit colours

  SBS81S is assumed dead
  
  someone spotted it on SJE quite a few months agoo
  speculation is rife that it was sold to SJE for the cross boordor service.
  
  new rego unknown
