Basic bus service is those which charge normal fare, those premium bus service refer to CT services, parks, etc
Chinatown Direct and Parks, 926 and Express services are considered as basic-plus services. These are operated by PTOs.
Premium services are services which can duplicate current bus routes and/or compete with the MRT services through the means of a faster or more comfortable trip and/or serve areas not served by public buses. These can be operated by private bus companies.

sorry for mis information, my intention of premium service means services which cost more than basic service, i understand they are under basic-plus

JRBP controlled: Boon Lay, JEI and Choa Chu Kang Interchange (minority, service 188 only)So there were 3 interchanges under JRBP control.

AMDEP used to control Hougang South while HGDEP controlled St. Michael's. AMDEP took over St. Michael's in the late 1990s while HGDEP took over Hougang South probably in the mid 1990s. Not too sure about the dates.
-
Why would Hougang want to gain control of St mikes in the past, even though it's far to some services like 131? If it's S21 i can understand, because even if it doesnt go under DD control, it also must have a centralized location to start, like 198

JRBP does partially control Sv151 from around 1996 to 1999 or slightly later..

likely yes. there is a one-for-one match between the 70 EDSes ordered and the 70 VO3x Batch 3s.

the thing that is strange is that 163 is listed as a 2 way service , but when it reaches TPY Interchange it drops passengers and then stops for 5 minutes to change plate (now more faster with electronic display
) then picks up passengers to sengkang.....the route is treated like a long loop service something like 82 n 975...... but better for the passenger in terms of fare stage. Or is it just that TPY interchange is just too small to hold 163? -

The 5 minutes could be for the driver to adjust to proper scheduled departure time, so that the frequencies along Sengkang-bound 163s don't get too haywire... -
. 192 193 at boon lay. 965 at sengkang 136 at punggol etc

interchange is just too small to hold 163?not loop service
schedule is like this
T1: Sengkang Interchange T2: TPY
T1: 1450 hrs
T2: 1648 hrs
Break
T2: 1653 hrs
T1; 1832 hrs
In fact, all bus service roughly stop at T2 (generic) for 5 minutes or so,
May those schedule experts answer your question better
