Sengkang area feeders...?
Bukit Panjang Feeder 920 & 922
They are like the weirdest amongst all. 925, 926 & 927 are trunk / special services operating around Sungei Kadut and the Mandai Zoo area.
Choa Chu Kang Feeder 300, 302 & 307
Surprisingly SMRT retains this 3 numbers after they renumbered those in Bukit Batok & Bukit Panjang. Perhaps the 30X looks nice and they did not wish to change the number.
410
The only Feeder in Bishan and has a completely different number from the traditional 2XX or 3XX under SBST.
700
Used to be rapid bus but retains the number 700 after it is converted to a trunk service. The only service with a 7XX.
825
Lentor Service. The only service with 82X.

410 was a townlink.

Yea... I sometimes wondered how come 400, 401 and 403 are named "Parks services" but they are not charged using flat fare that Parks 408 and Parks 409 adopt?

Which feeder service in Choa Chu Kang did SMRT renumber? I only know service 175 was renumbered 975.
Service 410 was not a feeder service when it was introduced in June 1992. SBS called this service "Townlink service 410" (not the current version of Townlink). Back then feeder services charged a flat fare of 25c but this Townlink 410 charged 35c with 10c rebate when using farecard.
In my opinion... now that bus fares have increased to such high levels since the 90s,
The disparity in fares of feeders and trunk services seemed to have narrowed...
It doesn't really make any difference to me whether I take feeder or trunk service nowadays...especially when svc 181 is concerned....

It's just not 700 alone. Jurong Island services are called 715, 716 and 717.
And you forgot 882 too ... ...

If you realised another thing, SBST named 400, 401 and 403 park services. But their destos are different from those designs like Sv 408 and 409.

Officially (means how LTA/PTC sees them), 400 to 405 are basic trunk services, 408 and 409 are basic-plus services, which enables them to charge higher fares. Other basic-plus services include the Express, Fast foward, Chinatown Direct, Stadium Direct services, possibly the Night services and 926.

217 was in the range 20X and 21X, which were mainly reserved for short distance trunk and feeder services serving places like private housing estates (ie miscellenous).
241 was Jurong Int-Teban Gardens then Jurong East to Teban and renumbered as 331, later withdrawn and took over by 143.

Then why call 400, 401 and 403 Parks services in the first place ah?
Never mind...I hardly board them... Curious only...
A check with bus guide 1985 shows that them JIS svcs then charge double the price compared to normal residential feeder
JIS feeder - OMO 30 cents
normal feeder - 15 cents
how about that?

these are recreation services. offered new new by SBS in the early 80s. then there was 401 and 402>> 401 east coast park, 402 to the race horse place in farrer park at llittle india.
I guess the idea worked and today they are now called parks svcs.
400 - gardens bby the bay / barrage
401 - still going east Coast park
402 - today go by gardens by the bay a bbit
403 - pasir ris park
405 - CCK Cemetry festive svc
Withdrawn 406 - Chiense gardens
408 - Labrodor park - essentially svc 213 of the 80s
409: Mount faber

Nothing of that sort. Naturally, they wanted to renumber them to 93x, but the renumbering exercise in Bukit Batok caused "great confusion" for the residents such that similar plans for Choa Chu Kang was scrapped.

My aunt thought that the old services were scrapped and the 94X services were introduced as new routes.
