Questions about S'pore buses? Post them here! (Part VII)

as many BusPlus minibuses would reach the end of their lifespan this year, would there be any replacements or the existing contracts for shuttle service be terminated and taken over by others?

There are new Rosas in the fleet already.

New gen rosa with plug doors but without eds though. When they came in they ran 541 547 on white livery but now got busplus livery already. They have golden dragon minibuses for replacement too :)

Is it that speed limit for buses is 50 instead of 60?????
then why even show that sticker saying 60 km/h, might as well remove it. -.-
I see sevice 27 BCs driving 70 kph on the expressway...
With the new telematics trial would they get punished?

1) If you see any cameo, take down the bus registration plate number, perm service, and what service does it cameoing. [E.g SBS 7603R on 76 (AMDEP 168)]
2) Write it in your notebook.
3) When you reach home, copy whatever cameos you have, to the cameo spotting topic. So it's like copy from your notebook, to cameo spottings topic.
Do take note that if a perm bus doing it's perm service (E.g SBS 7603R on 168), that is not counted as cameo. Because we already all know that SBS 7603R on 168.
And also, some depots/bus parks buses are interchangeable. Like AMDEP and BRBP buses are interchangeable. This means that if a BRBP bus doing on a AMDEP service, that is counted as cameo. [E.g SBS 7503X on 72 (BRBP 60)]
I hope you know how to do it. If you have any clarifications, please feel free to PM me. Cheers!How would you know the perm service of all buses before looking it up?

You need to check some of them out, before you spot the cameos...

For me i memorize all the perms as stated in sgwiki for SMRT side, I already memorize WLDEP,AMDEP,KJDEP perm buses but i do get memory lapses for KJDEP coz i hardly go to CCK,BBT area. AMDEP and WLDEP i memorize all the perm buses by sgwiki, personal observation and also i live in Woodlands and i commute to WRI everyday and i camped at WRI often to recognise the perms, but i go to Yishun n BPJ once in a while and also i constanty check on the redeployment page here always to get the updated redeployment of every buses. Some buses especially those WAB buses the regos are consecutively together example 178 perm buses SMB1311G to SMB1319K. 858 perm bus are SMB1301K to SMB1310J, 851 buses have SMB73A to SMB81B, 966 have SMB310R to SMB316A perm and so on. Thus, it is easy to remember. 965 ones also quite easy, 969 also easy, 961 also easy to remember. But this things take years, i dont memorize all these buses in 1 year, took me 3 years to memorize the regos of buses especially when they are redeployed or they transfer duties to another depot e.g 176,169,190,700 transfer duty to WLDEP as u need to recognise the buses wich are newly transferred. Just some tips to share ah, u need a long time to know perm buses of what service as changes are unpredictable and u need to adapt to changes there as deployments will change a lot esp SBST ones. The only SBST svc i memorize was 168 and 161 perms.

I remember almost all SMRT perms, but I need to check on SBST perms, beacuse I only know a few services...
