  SBS 1765X (NAC MKII DM) is spotted today with Svc 94 at Eunos Int (leaves at 18:57). Other buses on Svc 94 are SBS982S (Volvo B10M MK4 DM) and SBS1711B (NAC Volvo B10M MKII DM).
  
  SBS1799Z (NAC MKII DM) is spotted today with Svc 60 at Eunos Int (arrived at 19:01). Another MKII on Svc 60 is SBS1810Z (NAC MKII Alexander).
  
  And from what I know, the above buses do not serve HG South feeder svcs nor Svc 151 (1776P, 1777L, 1845G).

  nono
  the algorithm is like this:
  u start a new seq at the xx00. and that xx00 cna be determined by an algorithm. i dun really kno how to explain and i just do it. u cna figure it out yourself. basically it onvolves 2 sequences the " ACE...
  and the other "BDG...
  then u jump from one to the other in turns to start on 00xx

  i suppose it does cameos on Svc 285 during peak hours.. i saw it on the same day at Clementi, Eunos (rem 1799Z and 1765X?) and Bedok interchanges and it was on Svc 285 at Clementi Int and later in the day it appeared on Svc 7 in Bedok Int..
• ^tamago^

  21 Dec 03, 23:04

  been to Clementi Int today and since it is a Sunday, SBS1741P was most probably full day at Svc 285.. but i'm sure seeing it under Svc 7 at Bedok Int, so have to check it out again tml or tuesday, weekdays.. meanwhile for Clementi feeders today:
  
  282: 1723S, 1726J, 1749T
  284: 802D, 1750M
  285: 1700H, 1741P, 1744G
  
  likely to see more MKIIIs on weekdays for Clementi feeders from my observation.. as for other MKIIs spotted today:
  
  SBS1835C (NAC MKII Alexander) spotted on Svc 151..
  SBS1826D (AC MKII DM) spotted on Svc 147..
  
  And to help finding the buses easier, here are the check digits (not stated are given above and are correct):
  1701E 1705U 1766T 1786K 1792S 1793P 1797D 1798B 1802Y 1871Y 1873S 1875L 1876J 1877G 1883M 1892L
  and check digit for SBS1819 should be 'A'..
