  cameo is when a bus (for example a service 198 bus like SBS7365C) do other services under the same depot like 99

  perming is the bus is fixed/assigned to do that service ( for eg SBS7512U is perm on service 185)

  I notice this on some B10TLs:

  

  It seems like some seats have their "gaps" covered up like this, but I still don't understand why did SBST do that since it only applies to a few seats and not all, and there does not seem to be a pattern.

  I saw it too. It cameoed on 291 before but I forgot the license plate. The bus I took yesterday was SBS9823J on svc 168 (BN 222).

  CityBuzz VSOs had this, used to place adverts behind the headrest on the bus.

  What is the reason for mass lay-ups of the CDGE B9TLs after registration?

  Euro 4 in effect on 1 Oct. The CDGEs were Euro 3.

  Then subsequently out of lay-up for service? I believe it is because SBS Transit don't require that much fleet for its bus services that time.

  Of course they dun need so much dd at the time of registration. N just to let u know. Most of the DDs which was registered n then lay up are not even assembled yet

  AMDEP is reformatting their buses' EDS to kerbside service no. For Mobitecs, it resembles the MAN, for LAWOs, it resembles the OCs.

  Depends where you are looking. Peak for TMP / BED / JUR / BNL / CCK / AMK would be between 6.00PM and 8.00PM, for CBD areas would be 5-7PM.
