How are the suffix of license plates (e.g. SBS9806J) determined? Is it a cycle (like SBS2701Z, SBS2702X, SBS2703T ....... SBS2719Z, SBS2720X, SBS2721T)? What about other vehicles?

Is 882 AMDEP or WLDEP? Cos sgWiki states 882 is WLDEP,but I saw a Dennis Lance(UMW) on it.

Sometimes this confuse me also , maybe AMDEP.Originally posted by Raraken:Is 882 AMDEP or WLDEP? Cos sgWiki states 882 is WLDEP,but I saw a Dennis Lance(UMW) on it. -
882 is an AMKDEP service. WLDEP buses x-over for mealbreak.Originally posted by Raraken:Is 882 AMDEP or WLDEP? Cos sgWiki states 882 is WLDEP,but I saw a Dennis Lance(UMW) on it. -
Yes. The crossover is from 167, supposedly a Scania. Perhaps that is why some people may mistaken it as a WLDEP service.Originally posted by SBS9818A:882 is an AMKDEP service. WLDEP buses x-over for mealbreak. -
So sgWiki is wrong...... can't usually be trusted....

Does anyone have a map or sumtin that shows the 980 route?

BRBP changes the style of stickers on the bus recently.Now uses bigger piece of white sticker with the status of the bus being hand written in red marker.Not sure for AMDEP.Originally posted by SBS9888Y:BNDEP just use any marker write on the bus... SLBP use a white square cardboard sticker with the no. written big and clear using any colour marker... ARBP/BBDEP use white paper labels written with a red permanent marker (quite small)... Latest HGDEP stickers are printed big in black numbering and a white background... older ones are in white numbering with either red or black background... AMDEP/BRAM sticker also printed but much smaller... actually too small... in black numberings and white background... some eunos DDs like 9888Y still have the old HGDEP stickers black background and white numbering... -
does SBS9035S ever a 143 perm in the past?
-
Normally a bus which has A/P Shift, how often do it need to refuel ? During the time when it went for refuel, does it mean the timetable is empty? no bus for that time?
-
Usually at the end of the day refill.Originally posted by chickenlittle2:Normally a bus which has A/P Shift, how often do it need to refuel ? During the time when it went for refuel, does it mean the timetable is empty? no bus for that time?
But if all of a sudden realise low on fuel, then yes, usually the timeslot will be empty as the bus go depot and refuel. -
9035 was ex-106. Disappeared when the Habits took over.Originally posted by toll123:does SBS9035S ever a 143 perm in the past? -
Look at 161 and 168, the buses, upon arriving Hougang Central or Bedok in the afternoon, go to hgdep or bndep to refuel (for DDs (amdep buses included)), don't worry, they have estimated how much fuel a bus could use, and made necessary arrangements to the timetable.Originally posted by stooper:Usually at the end of the day refill.

oh really? so if we see a merz , leyland , VSO at hgdep and bndep means they are there only for fuel. why does amdep doesnt hv fuel for 161 and 168??Originally posted by Scania:Look at 161 and 168, the buses, upon arriving Hougang Central or Bedok in the afternoon, go to hgdep or bndep to refuel (for DDs (amdep buses included)), don't worry, they have estimated how much fuel a bus could use, and made necessary arrangements to the timetable. -

So the perm bus 784D belongs to AMDEP?Originally posted by SBS9818A:882 is an AMKDEP service. WLDEP buses x-over for mealbreak. -
yaOriginally posted by swee_heng:So the perm bus 784D belongs to AMDEP? -
Ask you, is it closer to move from Hougang Central to hgdep and Bedok to bndep or from Woodlands to amdep?Originally posted by swee_heng:oh really? so if we see a merz , leyland , VSO at hgdep and bndep means they are there only for fuel. why does amdep doesnt hv fuel for 161 and 168??
Buses have limited capacity of fuel, thats why they need refuelling. -
I only have an idea that the same alphabet has a 70% chance of recurring every 17/18 consecutive alphabets. If you don't believe me, write consecutive regoes in columns of 16/17/18. You should see stepped patterns for 16, 18. Occasionally, the pattern breaks and a new alphabet appears in place.Originally posted by SBS9806J:How are the suffix of license plates (e.g. SBS9806J) determined?

Anyone saw SBS563T on any service? Never see this bus before
-
Is SBS0906M still perm 23?
-
errr... that's because an alphabet is skipped running from 9 to 10... the cycle is 19 alphabets long, which means the "jump" must occur once which means the next number with same alphabet will appear at +18 (xx01 to xx19) or +17 for those crossing 9 to 10 twice (xx08 to xx25)....Originally posted by SBS3625D:I only have an idea that the same alphabet has a 70% chance of recurring every 17/18 consecutive alphabets.

because of this, +35 will always yield the same result...
