SBS9652K is still perm on Sv 107, took it today and saw the stickerOriginally posted by my@jas:I also think so too, SBS9547G, SBS9560S always seen on 89 after the B9s came in to 80, while SBS9540A has been running around.
Anyway, SBS9541Y and SBS9652K have been confirmed as SP with the SP stickers.
Suspect SBS9654E has also became SP too.
SBS9540A
(HG 80) to (HG SP) saw the sticker
Suspect that SBS9635K is SP as it has been running around lately
Suspect SP:
SBS9541Y(I took it on Sv 80 last week and can't see any label),
SBS9560S(saw it on Sv 89 yesterday),
SBS9547G(on Sv 153 today),
SBS9635K(on HG Sv today)
SBS9654E(saw it on Sv 80 a few days ago) -
Its never perm on 36 in the first place. There's only 12 buses on 36 and there's usually a perm bus going for mx on weekdays and that's when 2627E comes in to replace the perm bus. That's why you see 2627E looking perm on 36 when its actually still a SPARE.Originally posted by SBS2671B:SBS2627E : BNDEP 36
BNDEP 196/196e
So which bus replaces it on 36 ? -
Then wasn't it SP/36?Originally posted by service_238:Its never perm on 36 in the first place.

yes BN SP/36.Originally posted by SBS9806J:Then wasn't it SP/36? -
ah nobody seen my reply. where to find the bus sticker to say whether dat bus is perm on dat service or is sp only? any1 can tell me?

bndep - black marking scribbled somewhere. either above driver's window or near the front rego plate. Do note some are old perm markings. Sometimes cut-out service guide also canOriginally posted by BusSpeeder:ah nobody seen my reply. where to find the bus sticker to say whether dat bus is perm on dat service or is sp only? any1 can tell me?
hgdep - Black or white rectangular sticker that is type-written. very professional. black sticker is usually 2003/2004 perms. white ones are 2005 thereafter. sometimes they tear the sticker and write SP or something over it
amdep - black rectangular sticker, also type written but in italics form and its much smaller than hgdep's. Either pasted above driver's window or ON the window itself.
brbp - white sticker with red marker for 2007 perms. earlier perms have blue marker handwritten stickers at coinbox facing the driver
arbp - red/pink marker/crayon written on the coinbox at the base where the driver sees the coins.
bbdep - same as brbp but some of the stix is kinda outdated or they have no time to change it. Only diff from brbp is that the marker used is thicker.
slbp - white sticker with blue or black marker written. Quite distinctive of all depot.
All stickers otherwise stated can be found above the driver's window. -
k noted. next time i take a bus, at least i noe where to see liao.

If I am not wrong, BNDEP seldom use marker writings as perm status nowadays. They switched to some with tapes, similar to HG-style. Others used cut-out guides as status.Originally posted by service_238:bndep - black marking scribbled somewhere. either above driver's window or near the front rego plate.

HGDEP also uses guides to mark perm status, other than stickers. Written tapes are also used.
AMDEP uses the tape-writing style on some buses now (like SBS2634J), other than the type-written stickers.
Correct me if i am wrong in anyway, but if my memory doesn't fail me, the B9TLs from AMDEP and BNDEP don't use tapes or stickers to identify perm status as well? [Spotted a lot of perm B9TLs without those stickers under AM/BN services (i.e Sv 2, 7, 12, 21, 72, 76)] -
hmmmmmmm 2813J cameo for quite alot of time. anytime being an sp soon? or izzit back to Service 168?

I thought SLBP uses pink/red markers on new stickers (e.g. SBS9303T)? -
How can you tell?Originally posted by choww:SBS529T (SP AMDEP SP BRBP)

SBS1961X is a BBDEP 151 and unlikely ever a 156 perm
Spotted the 151 perm sticker when it cameo on 272 today. It probably was never a 156 perm as these stickers are relatively classic. Thus, it should be a 151 perm all along. The person who saw it as 156 could have seen the sticker wrongly. -
I think that is one off case lah... Or maybe just the 143 VO3x. SLBP also uses service guides for a few buses here and there.Originally posted by SBS9806J:I thought SLBP uses pink/red markers on new stickers (e.g. SBS9303T)? -
Only brbp buses have this type of sticker with red marker.Originally posted by SBS9806J:How can you tell? -
BNDEP's markings are quite messy if you might not have noticed. Two examples are SBS 0069D (SP BNDEP) and SBS 0819G (225W/CT18 BNDEP). For SBS 0069D's case, they use a blue marker to strike off the '228' thing. For SBS 0819G, they did the same but striked off the '69' thing. Both are near the rego part.Originally posted by service_238:bndep - black marking scribbled somewhere. either above driver's window or near the front rego plate. Do note some are old perm markings.

Some HGDEP buses do write perm services even on the driver's steering wheel! Take a look at SBS 0951G (27 HGDEP). It has a '27' written in the middle of the steering wheel, and a white marker/correction fluid(?) is used.
SBS 2991C (66 SLBP) has a green sticker above the BC's area.
Alright, new deployments. Two more suspected to come in for Service 168:
SBS 9078T
SP AMDEP 168 AMDEP
SBS 9458E
30 BNDEP 168 BNDEP
Currently the list stands out to have five buses in the suspected list of Service 168 newbies:
SBS 9030E
SBS 9054L
SBS 9078T
SBS 9101J
SBS 9458E
For SBS 9519M and SBS 9551T, they were never seen after my earlier post. SBS 9616R is probably back to spare status. -

amdep and bram a few years back had a small Times New Roman sticker above the driver's window. While some amdep and bram buses also have cut out guides at the timesheet sunshade.

amdep, bram, hgdep and slbp are till now the only depots which had or are still having typed perm stickers. -
The only typed sticker bndep have is the "Fill at Pump B" green sticker, these were denoted as bnbpb on the timesheets. However these seemingly ceased to exist currently. Other buses have a small green cirle sticker to denote buses filling at pump B.

replace wat bus? or an additonal fleet? -
The timetable on SBST website is still effective 22/1/07, so no addition of buses. It's either replacing one of the present 502 buses or finally a replacement for 3731E.Originally posted by chickenlittle2: replace wat bus? or an additonal fleet? -
