  In any case, I do enjoy visiting the bus forums. Most of the threads have good information and discussions with active participation sharing different points of view. I am just piffed when I want to read something more on SBST premium services and I just see numbers and alphabets being posted up. No offence, thanks.

  The numbers and alphabets being posted up is to inform fellow bus spotters to see whether there's a redeployment of buses from the original allocated buses for the services. if there is any change in the scheduled premium fleet, fellow bus spotters would know that there could be redeployments within the various depots or svc enhanced if there is another scheduled premium bus arriving a few minutes later after the 1st bus arrived.[ie 2 sv536 in a hypothetical situation].

  Anyone knows the demand for SMRT's premium services and what buses are being deployed? Thanks in advance.

  I assume its the maryland Park that side. SADeaf that side is too early a timing.
  
  Actually the timing is pretty simple. Give about 3-15min off service time to the start time of the Premium service, minus off 15min break at the interchange of the parent service you will know what time the xover arrives at the interchange.
  
  i.e S544 is the first bus from Clementi as 14 and S540 is the first bus from Hougang as 51.

  Why there isn't any premium services in Bt Panjang and Bt Batok?
  Before that read in the newspaper that Comfort Delgro has applied for premium services in these area, now don't see them at all? Did PTC rejected such routes????
