Inspector tickets are for Ticket Inspectors to press and collect so as to know how many passengers have paid in cash. There will be a ticket range printed on the ticket.May have other uses..

Service 106 was formerly under SBS. Based on the photo here: http://donald1852.fotopic.net/p51449540.html, the desto indicates that it plys between Serangoon and Bukit Batok back then. Was it shortened to Marina Centre Terminal when it was handed over to SMRT or somthing?

Don't think so. 106 was handed over to SMRT (TIBS) in 24 Dec 2000. The amendment was in 27 July 2003 as part of the NEL bus rationalisation.

No. Its was only shortened to Marina Centre terminal when NEL opens in 2003. I heard that TIBS was forced to shorten the route

adding on, the LO3X on 106 back then were solely from AM side only?

Serangoon is under HGDEP. So when 106 was under SBS plying between Serangoon and Bukit Batok, probably it was BBDEP and HGDEP dual control. But I am not sure about where the LO came from. -

I thought Serangoon was controlled by AM in the past? It's mentioned in sgwiki that 9143M used to be an AM 106 bus - http://www.sgwiki.com/wiki/Leyland_Olympian_3-Axle -

Don't anyhow whack if know nothing. Don't know just ask, stop providing misleading info.S106 was solely amdep control, fleet comprised of LO3X, Mercz and sole VO3X SBS9628G.
Serangoon Int was amdep's land, not hgdep's.
