This has been mentioned before, so many times, across everywhere on the internet.
Actually, there is one type of font on this software called 'Photoshop' which looks like the "LTA Identity font".

Hobo?

well, I have to say that the font type used in the signboards at our trains and buses are unique, where only the LTA has them.
nonetheless, there is at least one type of font on Photoshop which looks like it.
the 't' seems to come from Gill Sans MT Bold
the 'y' seems to come from Constantia Bold
it seems that there could be a mixture of font types used.
-
Some (station names especially) use LTA Identity.
The rest such as directions, lift, this way, that way, mostly use Ocean Sans.

Found a link with the full set of LTA Identity font here:

Hi. Thanks for sharing with us the link to the PDF document. :)
I tried it myself.
It is a very time-consuming work.
^^ Close enough, although I know the actual one would be different, due to changes in design over the years.

How to download the LTA Identity font?

Food for thought.
For the following questions, consider the services run by PTOs (SBST, SMRT), as a guideline.
- Services included are: all trunks, feeders / townlinks / intratowns, express / fast-forward / Sentosa resorts routes, JIS services, Parks, BPS.
- Services excluded are: short trips, premium / city-directs / Chinatown directs, night services, PPSS, and all other non-public services/shuttles.
- Trip variants (A/B/C/E/M/R/X) may be included if the route is a minor deviation from the main route (e.g. 70M, 162M, 700A, 853C, 963R), but not if the route is a short-trip (e.g. 17A, 35M, 143M, 163M, 170X, 811E).
Q1: Find the bus service(s) with the MOST number of service links across all of its stops in one/both directions, incl. of interchanges and terminals with alighting/boarding. Those passing by, but do not stop at a common bus stop do not count.
Q1a: Can subcategorize for trunks/express/feeders etc.
Q2 & Q2a: Same as Q1, but for the LEAST number of links.
=============================
Now find some groups of bus services (from the list at the top) that do not share any common links (bus stop, int or term) between any two of them. i.e. entirely mutually exclusive. Exception given for terminals that do not allow boarding/alighting (e.g. Buona Vista, Kent Ridge).
Q3: Find the group(s) with the most possible number of services, and list the services.
Q4: Find the group(s) with the longest combined route length of all the services in it, and list the services.
=============================
Just some of my random midnight musings. But probably very, VERY difficult. Especially Q3 and Q4.

very tough question.

Q2a (the trunk service with LEAST links) may be 42 ... it shares the Sims Ave East bus stop with 2, 7, 24, 25, 26, 28, 30, 32, 33, 67, 854, and Siglap Rd with 40 and 401, with a total of 13 links. Other short trunks 4, 11, 20, 115 ... all seem to have more links.

Q2 should be 882 and 981 I think... 859, 859A/B, 167, 980, 882/981 (the other one) from SBW Int, 169, 856, 858 and 962 along their route, total 9 bus svc links. Although it's great that 882 and 981 link to all the passing through svcs (I just realised this actually), Sembawang is probably the most isolated town in terms of bus svc coverage, unless the rumours of a new trunk svc to Punggol are true (linking the 2 most isolated towns lol).
Although when Joo Koon Int opens, I think some bus svcs re-routed there may have even fewer links. Hopefully not too much of a problem if there are bus svcs to Jurong West/Boon Lay, and MRT to other parts of Sg.
I wouldn't want to try Q1, although many long cross-island bus svcs passing thru the city area would be good candidates, such as 14, 51, 143, 147, 196, 197.
Q3 might be between west and east/northeast svcs, e.g. Boon Lay - Tampines, or Boon Lay - Sengkang. Not so sure abt Q4, although Boon Lay svcs would be quite long due to JIS (for now).

Ah, you got me on that one for Q2. Oops.
But it's easy to overlook 882, as its route is akin to a feeder's, and 981's a peak-hour service.For Q3, I was referring to a collection of services that simply do not meet each other at any bus stop, with at most only one service from any bus interchange. So we could have a group of trunks such as 4, 25, 49, 54, 70, 77, 84, 90, 91, 96, 140, 161, 170, 182, 402, 403, 882, 975 ... etc, with even more members when we include more of the criss-crossing routes. (Which is why I say Q4 is hard...)

I'm sure the answer for Q2 will change after Joo Koon Int opens...

Are M variants (and 17A, 170X, 700A, 859A/B, 961A) counted?

Variants are counted, short-trips are not.
So 162M, 700A, 961C are counted. 17A, 131M, 170X, 859A/B are not.

Looking at just 40 units of WAB bendy, I really wonder when SMRT will make all its feeders / intra-towns WAB.. on SBST side already have them WAB for a long long time (in years).
WAB Status: 301, 302 (soon), 307, 802, 803, 804, 811, 901 (soon), 911 (but fleet is horribly downgraded), 920, 922, 941, 945, 947 (BPJ/BBT are easy as no bendy, though 945 deserves and 920/922 will soon need with DTL2).
Non-WAB
300 (major CCK service). I think this will be the last feeder to go WAB considering 301, 983 cover most of its route
800 (similarly I think this will be one of last to go WAB since 811/8-4 covers most of its route)
Critically WAB needed
806 (only if 6/10 remaining A24s go for this service)
812 (if 4 of the 4 remaining A24s go for this service, considering 6 go to 806)
Now... still left
900, 903, 912, 913 (how the hell are they going to make these WABs... they don't even have other WAB services to cover for them unlike 300/800)
This means sooner or later some feeder/intra-town services will have to get DDs. No choice, otherwise they will remain non-WAB forever.
-
Best DD candidates IMO: 804 (bendy should transfer to 806), 900, 901, 903, 912
Bendy candidates: 911, 913 (901 bendy should be transfered to 913 + few more)
Also in future: 920, 922, 945 might get 2 DDs each.
-
180 & 184 (how the hell are they going to make these WAB...). They are not BSEPs, so it is the best to mass transfer MAN A24s over from 302 and 901 across.

And how do you propose 302 and 901 to be WAB then?
180/184 can still use the new MANA95 DDs.
-
SMRT has put itself into a big quandry as it has a huge number of non-WAB bendies that will have to float around multiple services.
