  Seems to me that there's only info on SBST for early trips departing from bus stops (downroutes). Maybe anyone with admin access to sgwiki can add a section for SMRTB and then allow people with info on SMRTB early trips from bus stops to fill in?

  Also, in that section of sgwiki, what does the timing in brackets beside the actual timing represent?

  You can try spotting every SMRT service in the morning and see if you find any downroutes... (:

  Basically for alot of SBST services we have the e-timetable that displays the departure timings of bus stops. Hence it's easy to see a downroute. I believe for other non-ETT services it was done by pure spotting a.k.a. the old school method.

  Since SMRT has no online timetables the only way for you to see any downroutes without the old school method is to go read every single timesheet. Otherwise the only other choice is to do spottings in the morning.

  I remember that 985 have a bendy crossover. Doing a downroute at Jln Anak Bukit to Choa Chu Kang Int. The other downroute I recall every morning is the 975 bendy crossover. From Brickland Road to Bukit Panjang Int.

  For many years now its easy to spot an SBST service on early morning downroute even before e-timetables came into existance.

  Go to the first/last bus timings for a particular bus stop will do. The site still has this function today.

  Last time SMRT website does not have the above function, and still doesnt have. However, you are able to obtain their early morning downroute times at publictransport.sg as the board of every single bus stop in singapore can be found there.

  Happy searching.

  *btw tamago was the one who started out that page in sgwiki so credit to him for that.

  SBS2818X on 16 was the one you took

  SBS2837R on 175 also has a similar layout, except it has a Panasonic Lumix theme instead. The bucket seats are also similar. The only thing is that instead of advertising the TV it advertises cameras instead.

  The yellow handles one near the exit door are on the (i believe) the first few buses. It is most likely there to serve as a visual cue that there are steps to the rear/ separation of partitions.

  Later batches all change full purple grab poles

   

  My question today is - why is the granny seat dubbed the granny seat?
