  Isn't 82 still under SBST now? If you meant before it got transferred to TIBS before, then they were using Mk2s on it.
  
  As for the rest, I am not very sure. I only knew 5 had MB O305s, 171 used MB O405s and 67 used Mk3s.

  For 67, it had mainly O405 WA's when it was running via PIE.
  
  When amended via Changi/Geylang Roads, it had O405 WA for at least 1 year before it became mainly MKIII DM and MKIV DM/Striders, with the occasional O405 WA. I don't recall O405 DMs as a major bus model on 67, though.

  Sv. 82 used B10M Mk IIs and Mk IIIs. When it was x-ferred to TIBS, they used O405s and O405Gs, and DAFs if I remember correctly. Sv. 163 used Lances (same for Sv. 82?)

  Should'nt there be an air-con service? According to the 1998 bus guides, 307 is Frequent Air-Con while the other two are Partial Air Con

  Mainly O405s during the period before takeover. Before that, it was mainly OF1417s with both NZ and Hawke bodies.
