2. In 2002 Scanias were transferred to amdep because of Toa Payoh Int going back to its original location. As the feeders were required to the FAC, the Scania OACs came in.In 2006 Scanias were transferred to amdep AGAIN as spares. A couple of weeks later S45 was introduced and the scanias were perm on that service.
In 2007, 41H was transferred to bram to exchange for 42E
3. Fleet reduction. My records state that 293 had fleet reduction on 3 Dec 07, not 17 Dec 07

Correct. Service 402 was meant for the (not Clifford Pier; it was the pier that was closed down due to the Marina Barrage) new Marina South Pier. -

Question 2: I have forgotten to state that you need to specify only one major redeployment. However, since you have answered three, I'll give you bonus.
There were supposed to be 4 points for each major redeployment mentioned - that gives you 12 in total. However, you only mentioned:
2002 Redeployment: (a)
2006 Redeployment: (a)
2007 Redeployment: (a), (b)
That gives you only 4 points.
Question 3: Correct. S293 suffers fleet reduction of 3 buses at one go, hence the need for a new revision.
Total: 5 points -

Correct. There's also another reason why Service 175 was introduced. What do you think is it? -
Originally posted by service_238:
2) Which Waraku/Pasta de Waraku outlet does the buses with the ad did not ply?
Info dissected from the website:
Central Branch and East Coast Branch. Central Branch is at Eu Tong Sen St., which Service 36 doesn't ply. As for the East Coast Branch, since Service 36 plys the inside of Marine Parage and Tanjong Katong, leaving out a section of the ECP between Bedok and Tanjong Katong, it is considered as not plying past the East Coast Branch. -

b) 175
If I want to be nostalgia, 175 (Lim Chu Kang to Upp Bukit Timah 9ms (approx 16km)) was created to replace 206 (Boon Lay to Lim Chu Kang) back then in 1992 to 1994. This was done most probably to redirect people/bus traffic to CCK Int/MRT (B3) from Boon Lay (W12).
