  I don't have the exact answer to the question but I remember the following on the launch day due to a radio broadcast:

  • The trip started from Yishun Interchange
  • Warna 94.2FM (local Malay radio station) had a live on-site reporter and a big hoo over the bendy bus around 9am - 9.30am

  Therefore I conclude It would have started around that time.

  10 am? whenever there is a flag off for new service/new bus by minister or some VIP, it is usually at 10 am if i am not wrong. I think Sv 160 also start at 10 am on day of introduction?

  ok last question awarded for your effort. The answer i'm looking for isnt those two but since 152 and 237 are former services, you are right.

  S31 was my school service during my secondary school days. Saw it evolved from PAC to FAC during that time.

  So it is not 152/237? then it is Sv 137? 146? 148 ? 149 ? 150 ? or 158? or those Scheme B buses?
  no wonder u r familiar with Sv 31 fleets. I only remember those VO2x it have, together with 9336 to 9343 when they are new plus 9401/9402. that all.

  There is a Pre-ERP trial at Tuas, before the introduction of ERP. Many types of vehicles were used in the trial to test the system under various conditions to test the effectiveness of the gantry/IU unit. SBS Buses were also being charted to participate in the trial. Name the model and rego of the buses being chartered .

  I believe that 101 was under AMDEP at that time so thats why theres OAC CRB on it , remember SBS44A was one of them.
