  if u notice that's always 2 S 2 T and 2 more Ps than As.

  Thanks to each trip having to jump, the process goes this way..

  If there's 11 A shifts, 10 of them will take bus from depot, the 11th one hitch a ride from depot to CGA to wait for jump bus to start. The 11th A shift driver will start from the bus that came from Tomlinson Rd in the morning.

  2 S shifts will also take bus from depot in the morning. After the AM Peak trip, both S shifts will take a meal break - meaning jump 2 bus instead of 1. This is when the 2 T shifts comes in. The T shifts will be the last to have the meal break after their 1st trip. the 2 S shifts will end the morning portion at CGA.

  The jumpbus continues until the T shift finishes its final trip around 1630-1730. 2 P shifts will take over from the 2 T shifts. That is why there's 2 more P shifts than A shifts. As to how the P shifts settle their mealbreak, that's when the PM trip of the 2 S shifts come in. The 2 S shifts will start and end their PM portion at CGA.

  Jumpbus continues till midnight. 1 P shift driver will end at CGA without taking any bus back. That P shift driver will handover the bus to the driver who is in front of him for him to do last car 36A. Don't worry the P shift driver will be able to hitch a ride from the first bus that off service from CGA..

  Long story cut short, to calculate the no of buses needed for S36, Count (A shifts - 1) + (P shifts - A shifts) for full day buses. The excess dont do whole day. That formula is not a tested and proven method..

  S62: 8 full 11 S 3 E
  
  S12
  Wkday: 15 full day bn, 4 full day PRI, 1 S 1E bn, 1 S PRI
  Hol1: 13 full day bn, 3 full day PRI, 2 S bn, 3 S PRI
  There's only 5 ONP buses at PRI. Since there are 3 S PRI duty codes, means 1 of them collect bus at PRI, the other duty returns bus at PRI, while the 3rd duty code collect and keep at PRI
