I don't think so at this moment, I just know the next batch of B9TL with Wright bodywork will replace those Leyland~~However, I could figure it out it has the possibility to order more K310UD, but I think they might have the other bodywork as well~~

That is why it is called jump bus. Each time the BC returns to the interchange for mealbreak, he will drive his behind bus for his next trip while having break in the meantime. You never know the BC is a A/P, S, E or T shift driving the bus itself.
I try to explain in a more practical way. For example something like Sv 24 SBS3921Z the first trip is a A shift driver driving, then second trip jump bus to a S shift driver driving after that the S shift driver bring the bus back to depot. Afternoon the same driver take the same bus out to do first trip then second trip jump bus to a P shift driver driving and third trip jump bus to a S shift driver which the S shift driver will drive the bus back to depot after completing the trip.
In other words, when you think that the bus doing an jumpbus service is an A/P shift and somehow the bus went missing halfway during the middle of the day, it is actually the BC who is an S or E shift driver happen to jump to that perticular bus and it is sending the bus back to the depot after he completed his trip as stated in his timesheet. You have to observe the pattern of how the jump bus works on a certain service in order for you to know which bus will keep & which bus will stay.Mod's note: With the exception of 5 special services including Service 36, most CLOWbus services do not jump except during mealbreaks or during morning peak before the relief crew (the driver who starts from interchange to kick-start the jumping, usually a S or E shift on weekdays and S/E/T shift on weekends) comes in. In fact, we try not to let S or E shift jump unless necessary, and there exists CLOWbus services where a S or E shift drives the same bus throughout the day:
CLOWbus also allows better management of resources i.e. letting an E shift keep the training bus in the morning and let another S shift take it out in the evening. This way there will not be shifts with too little working hours.
SBS3921Z from A jumpto E dude (:
clowbus is used when there's a lack of break time usually due to a lack of parking lots at ints. so that drivers can have breaks in spite of few parking lots by taking the next bus that comes in. clowbus can only be done for singledepot controlled services as an slbp driver cannot jump to a brbp bus and vice versa.

I would prefer that you camp at marina bay sands area. Maybe longer but at least your chances of boarding it is much more guareenteed cuz Sv 133 & 133M pass by that area. You would never know which either one it will be doing.

Not sure whether or not to post, but have to see if the starter is lenient enough.
if the starter is lenient enough, you can expect anything to happen, including citaros on 853.

seems not consistent
can appear either 133 or 133M
