The Two Bus Companies- SBS and SMRT
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Read it carefully, it will help you in answering the questions
SBS Transit owns 75% of the scheduled bus market share in Singapore with 217 bus services and has a total fleet of more than 2,700 buses. 91% of our buses are equipped with air-condition. Types of bus services provided include trunk services, feeder services, Express services, Townlink services, Nite Owl services, Jurong industrial services as well as special bus services like Chinatown Direct, Fast Forward and Parks.
There is no better way to uncover Singapore's hidden charms than by taking a ride on an SMRT bus. Whether you are headed for a tourist attraction or a little-known corner of the island, we will take you there. With a fleet of 800 buses plying 74 routes, you are sure to discover something new about Singapore on your journey with us.

Source C: A view on SMRT
I must say at least SMRT is more environmentally-conscious than SBST. SBS never emphasized on the advantage of taking public transport but SMRT luckily did launch a 'Save-the-earth' campaign to have people take public transport.
Source D: Another view on SMRT
A campaign like this might make SMRT seem more environmentally conscious. Whether it is effective or not is another thing you might want to think about. However, the behind the scenes initiatives may tilt the picture in SBST flavour. For example, SBST might carry more passengers for the same amount of carbon emitted.

3) Which berth did 811E occupy before being shifted to the Passenger Service Centre? Why so?
4) Which berth did Express 520 occupy in the past?
5) Why was Feeder 800's boarding berth shifted to 856/859's berth, when it originally was together with 804/806?
6) Which service used the 39/85's berth in the past?
7) State one reason why 855's buses do not like to park at the end-on berths allocated to them.
8) What was so special about Express 520 when it still existed, compared to other trunks that also headed towards town, like 851-855? Give your answer in terms of the route it takes.Answers will be revealed on Sunday.

Let me try, memory rusty liao
3. Berth A2 and A3, the end-on berths could not accomodate artics to park, therefore it was moved to a seldom used alighting saw-tooth berth at the end of the interchange. Also, another reason was due to the high frequency of 811, and frequent reversing at that berth causes a bottleneck of traffic into the interchange. Btw, as far as i remember, 811E rarely existed during those times unless changing shifts, Only after the artics was introduced into 811 did they started to have the current deployment (1 811E, 1 811) for the former 805 route.
4. Not too sure but i think its B7, now replaced with 854E.
5. 3 High capacity feeders services near the exit of the interchange = JAM, also, during the time 800's berth was together with 804/806, most of the time it will board at the end of the sawtooth berths to allow 804/806 to come in (nearer towards the public phones).
6. 854
7. Walk to scan cards very far.
8. 520 will make one big loop around yishun before continuing back on Ave 2 at khatib. The other trunks simply start their journey directly on Ave 2.

3. I suspect is that it is nearer to the exit of the interchange and 811e sl just need to make a loop round sawtooth parking instead of moving all the way to sawtooth berth and back.
7. too far, in fact they always park at the end on near the toilet cum canteen.

All schedules are based on Weekday Peak unless otherwise stated.
Have fun
ok took sv10 before during off-peak...one bus stop before Old Airport FC
sv10 will reach harbourfront around 10mins behind a sv30, assuming both sv10 and sv30 were at Old Airport Rd at the same time.
and during the PM peak from what i remembered, there's always slow-traffic at Fort Rd entrance to ECP. -

let me see...
3) most probably the few berths before current 857's berth, which are the berths that some 853/855 buses are parked. not really sure of reason though...
4) 520 occupied the current 812E berth area. i can still remember.
5) 804 and 806 load is always very high, plus the 2 buses usually bunch together. therefore, imo, 800 will also have to wait very long for the other 2 bendy svcs to turn out of the berth before it can take its load, and 804/806 take quite a long time to be loaded.
6) 854? before it got bendies and shifted to its current sawtooth berth.
7) lazy to walk. some 853 BCs also do the same.
8) It makes a round in the Yishun New Town, including Yishun Ring Road, my old house before shifting to Woodlands, before turning out into Yishun Ave 2 at Khatib and continuing its journey towards the city. also, it enters SLE at Lentor at is the only service that goes from SLE to CTE. -
1. Give 4 reasons what is special about Service 151?
Hint: 1 of them is the place it terminate last time and 3 of them is about buses it uses.
2. Which SBST bus Service currenly has it buses FULL Voith gearbox.
Hint: All SD one and same model one plus the demund it very VERY high one! -

4) 520 occupied the current 812E berth area. i can still remember.
