"Interchange" versus "Terminal"
Okay.
Since we are on it, let us clarify the difference between "Interchange" and "Terminal". 
So, for bus terminal, a bus service needs three parking lots.
Whereas for bus interchange, a bus service needs two parking lots.
Besides the number of parking lots, what are the other differences between "Interchange" and "Terminal"?
Tuas Bus Terminal
If like that, this means Tuas Bus Terminal can only accommodate up to four bus services, since it has only up to twelve parking lots.
Which means the bus services at Tuas Bus Terminal more or less confirm already lor.
If can only have four bus services, and there is already 192 and 193, this means only two more bus services can be at Tuas Bus Terminal. Unlikely 182/182M, because what for split it at Tuas? Most likely is one new bus service for Tuas South and one more at Tuas area. The one at Tuas area I guess is 254, or a new bus service. -
You dont need to explain in details la Chinaboy..Interchange can understand there is a lot of svc be it short,medium and long haul.Since 47 and 118 already allocated to 3 lots each what can you do?Boycott LTA and force them introduce 3 more service is it?You are really annoying you know that?Go take up a hobby beside being a troll and dont create more clones for the sake of it will ya?

Very long trunk, that's why three parking lots?
Apparently, bus service 117 has three parking lots at Sembawang Bus Interchange.
Maybe it is not about "interchange" or "terminal", but about the bus service.
Bus Service 117 is a trunk bus service. Its length is 20km (to Sembawang) and 19.8km (to Punggol).
Whereas for bus services 47 and 118, both are also trunk bus services.
Bus Service 47's length is 22.9km.
Bus Service 118's length is 16.1km (to Changi) and 16.3km (to Punggol).
Could it be that they are all very long trunk bus routes, that is why they have three parking lots at their respective bus interchanges and terminal?
Bus route 47 is 22.9km!
By the fact that bus route 47 is 22.9km, this means that there is probably no limit in the length of trunk bus service!

How to determine the number of parking lots for a bus service?
It would be good if someone can explain how to determine the number of parking lots a bus service will use at the bus interchange/terminal.
How come some bus service has two parking lots, while some has three parking lots? Is it based on the length of the bus route?
If we know how many parking lots a bus service uses at the bus interchange/terminal, this would help us a lot in creating bus route networks, route suggestions, etcetera.

My defination of short trunk:10km below for 1 direction
Medium haul:10.5-23km per direction and anything above that would be long.Total looping is not counted.

If very-long trunk actually needs three parking lots,
This may explain the jams during peak hours at the end-on section of Boon Lay Bus Interchange.
I guess 16km is the cut-off between long trunk and very-long trunk.
Boon Lay Bus Interchange (now) has twenty nine bus services and sixty parking lots, comprising of 22 parking lots at end-on section and 38 parking lots at saw-tooth section.
If we reserve the end-on berths for only very-long trunks, by right, there should only be seven bus services, not eleven. Currently, a bus service at the end-on section only has two berths. Maybe this explains the jam.
Currently, there are eleven bus services at the end-on section, of which eight are very-long trunk (30, 79, 154, 157, 174, 174e, 198 and 246).
I would like to recommend moving the three not very-long trunk (ie. 194, 249 and 252) and one very-long trunk (eg. 79) at the end-on section over to the saw-tooth section.
Whereas for the eighteen bus services currently at the saw-tooth section, four are very long trunk (ie. 178, 180, 187, 193). If we move one very-long trunk (eg. 79) over, this makes five very-long trunk bus services at the saw-tooth section, and we need a total of fifteen parking lots at the saw-tooth section for them.
This leaves us with twenty three parking lots (38 - 15) at the saw-tooth section, for the remaining seventeen bus services. These seventeen bus services each only need two parking lots, since they are not very-long (less than 16km). So, we need thirty four parking lots for them.
There will be a shortage of eleven parking lots (34 – 23), but this can be reduced to four if we exclude 79, 258 and 405 because 79 and 258 loop at Boon Lay Bus Interchange and 405 only operates some times. We can change 256 to loop at Boon Lay Bus Interchange, to reduce the shortage further to two. We can change 192 and 193 to loop at Boon Lay Bus Interchange, to obtain a surplus of two.
I am not sure if there are bus services that are allocated only one parking lot, because if so, this means a large part of this post is wrong.

The bullying culture of the bus enthusiasts community in Singapore.
For those who had not been following, there has been a bullying culture, the bullies can get away with whatever nonsense they do against autistic/mentally challenged bus fans and against certain individuals. Mock, mimic and make fun of these autistic bus fans for their own entertainment or in their lame excuse of “teaching” the autistic bus enthusiasts the right way of being a bus enthusiast. Wtf?
How hard is it to accept that such people into the group?
-> And to think you (the bullies) may have been born as autistic, would you like to be treated the way you treat the autistic bus fans?
->What do you and the group has against them? Who are you to mock and make fun of them?
->What kind of sick and perverted gratification do you get out of these?
They don’t realize there’s consequences in bullying, one can result in suicides. Just because you are born without any issues means you have the rights to bully autistic people! But when their close friends gets bullied they immediately spring into action and cry foul! What if your victims end up committing suicide because of you and the group’s continuous mocking? Will you be happy to stop then? How will you carry the responsibility of causing someone to die because of your stupid bullying? The double standards also happen - if someone more vulnerable but outside of their circle gets bullied, they won’t even lift a finger to help, instead participating or close one eye!
Their parents already have a challenge to raise their children with special needs, you never went through it. There was once a group that mimicked, mocked and bullied an autistic bus enthusiast, the unique way and spells words. The autistic bus fan had tried to defend himself, while a few of my friends attempted to stop them but failed. Most followed blindly because it was “trendy” not to mention they are perfectly normal but tries to make themselves look retarded by mimicking someone born with autism! How did the parents of this morally corrupted bus enthusiasts bring up the bus fans is beyond imagination. There was even a clone page of autistic bus fan’s page that mimics the way he speak and post so that the bus fans can have their fun!
There’s also been cases where bus enthusiasts went to sabotage/bully bus companies (you read that right) by doing silly things - even though they know better than the average public. There was a recent case so silly, the bus enthusiast complained on social media about a downgrade in capacity of the bus on a premium bus service when he could have just notified the bus company in advance such problems will occur, to allow SBS Transit to take preventive actions and not cause more problems for the travelling public that morning!
There are also prominent “popular” bus enthusiasts who abuse their popularity to bully and accuse people. Just because you are popular doesn’t mean you can get away with shooting bus fans, accusing others or expecting things to go your way due to your over inflated ego. One status on your Facebook and your blind followers just believes your side of story without question. One Facebook message to someone about your photos and you expect them to give you good feedback for your ego. Meanwhile the victims of their actions are left with nowhere to seek any form of redress while being forced to move on and endure being seen as some “outcast” for “shooting” the popular bus enthusiasts. Nobody hears the other side or believes the victim’s story. I’m looking at some individuals I mentioned 4 months back, including the SPT group whose ghost79 persona still remains with their history of bullying. This is not a cult of your individual personality, or a blind followers gathering.
This hobby is about appreciating buses, but with such behaviour mentioned it’s no longer about appreciating buses but just simply dominance and greed that follows behind alongside bullying out of pure thrill.

Hi mr marvel68, he has already admitted he is jurongwestresident = jurongresident = one-punch man = Pervertedboy and he has even signed off this so many times. Don't you know another whole series of tampinesresident, tuasresident, woodlandsresident, changiresident, punggolresident, mandairesident, etc all pop out? Anyway it is ok. As long as he agrees to stop and stick to one username, we shall forgive him and welcome him back here. If not, then sorry. We are still awaiting him to reply. Cheers. Thanks.

My hypothesis:There were 2 persons creating the clones last month. One is Path Light and his clones basically talk about how his suggestions should be implemented. The other one is jurongresident (aka PrevertedBoy, JurongWestResident, One-Punch Man, XXXresident etc) and his clones just make fun of forumers' names and spam "NO."

Not that I want to criticise you all, but really,
you all could have made things right by writing something that is relevant to the thread, or reply to the questions in the earlier part of this page.
but you did not.
You rather let this thread continue to go off-topic, than try to get it back to topic.
Well done.
