  To SBS1000U: The metal wirings are a safety feature that prevent the nuts from becoming loos

  
  That I doubt. Only 4 nuts are secured per rim.

  It looks more like markings to indicate the bus has undergone some checks or modifications of sort.

  Like how lifting equipments go for SWL checks.

  The sticker states sv21 but it seems like running as spare
  SBS7331A howver has the correct SPARE sticker
  
  ACx

  Im confused

  But I think
  BNDEP 12 BNDEP SP BNDEP 21 BNDEP SP

  The perm serv 21 sticker is actually serv 12 sticker. They cut it and swap number 1 and 2.

  I got a question:

   

  Whats is the difference of a BRT overseas and a SG Bus?

   

  Also, is the Express / Fast Forward / Premium or even Scheme B buses in SG a sort of BRT in overseas?

  BRT is dedicated lanes (barriacaded up) for these buses to ply. Usually they're 2 lane in case of breakdown and ability to implement express routes (leapfrog and only serving major focal points).

  Express & FFW are dedicated svs serving focal points on shared roads. The term semi express is not really applicable for FFW.

  I see. BRTs are even more than a bus lane in SG + Express services.

  To how much? Since SMB1H to SMB136C '=' SBS301H to SBS436C,

  SMB205L '=' SBS505L, SMB206J '=' SBS506J and so on..........

  If you want till SMB300, it is: SMB300U

• TIB 781 L

  26 Nov 10, 14:03

  All SMB-registered regos + 300

  So like TIB 657 M explained, SMB1H = SBS301H so on and forth

  SMB200A = SBS 500A.

  To calculate the suffix of bus registration numbers, this is a good place.

  Looks like it will be long term.

  I just saw a VO3X with the wires spray-painted as well.

  Unless you want to remove them, you don't just spray paint over them as well.

  Frankly speaking does it make sense for RWS8 to be under KJ as HBF to KJ are quite nearer compared to AM?Maybe AM can take RWS88 in xchange?Cause SMRT HBF Int control room are monitored by KJ..

  Unmanned Terminals/Interchange in which depot control

  Ang Mo Kio Int:169 AMDEP for staff deployment,AMDEP/WLDEP for breakdown

  Eunos Int:61 AMDEP for staff deployment,AMDEP/KJDEP for breakdown

  Bedok Int:854 AMDEP for Sunday staff deployment

  Harbourfront Int/Boon Lay Int:KJDEP control operation except for staff deployment for 855/963-178/187 for BNL

  Lor 1 Geylang:AMDEP for staff deployment 961/980/985

  Marina Centre:AMDEP purview except for 75/77/960 Sunday staff deployment

  Shenton Way:KJDEP Control except for 106 AMDEP side

  New Bridge Rd:KJDEP

  Bt Merah:KJDEP control operation but not for sunday staff deployment for 167/851

  Bt Panjang currently still 60/40 between KJ & WL but heard will be WLDEP for next year

  Sembawang 60/40 WL & AM also will be WLDEP next year

  Another thing to ask..

  How long does it take to off service from Shenton Way to AMDEP/KJDEP/WLDEP?

  How long from Marina Centre to AMDEP/KJDEP/WLDEP?

  Many Thanks to those reply

  Tuas was built together w/ Second Link.

  There used to be 182, 183, 192 & 193 terminating at Tuas.

  But later on to enhance connectivity to Tuas South, 182 & 183 merged to form direct bus service to Tuas South from Boon Lay.

  I expect something to come out in time to come over Tuas South.
