SBST: 161, 168
Hint 2: Will meet 4 other bus services from the boarding stop for 2 stops at least.

Hint 5: Most people on this bus during evenings are indians.

858, 965, 969
Hint 12: As mentioned in hint 2, 2 services are of same series as each other. Same for the other 2.

Instead of posting my bus ride today, i thought why not make it into a game?
I dont know if a similar game like this was played before, but I hope it will stimulate interest, like cluedo.
I give bus numbers, u guess the route. Something similar to the posting of daily bus rides thread. (hope u get what I mean)
I took these buses today:
27, 33, 36, 51, 55, 62, 103, 107, 123, 136, 153, 168, 966.
Needed: The sequence of buses that I took, and the name of the road where I changed buses.
Clue 1 (or rather a giveaway): Starting bus:51
Clue 2 (also a giveaway): Ending bus: 33
Clue 3 (giveaway): Name of starting and ending road: Alexandra Rd (which is home)
Clue 4 : During my bus ride today, I went to 3 bus interchanges.
Clue 5: Except for one instance, when I crossed the road to take a bus at the opposite bus stop, I always board a new bus at the same bus stop.
Eg:
139 Alexandra Rd - Bt Merah Int
16 Bt Merah Int - Tiong Bahru Rd
(cross the road)
195 Tiong Bahru Rd - Commonwealth Ave
186 Commonwealth Ave - Alexandra Rd
Starting Bus: 139, Ending bus: 186, Starting and Ending Road: Alexandra Rd
Simple ya? Anyone up for a challenge?
Really enjoyed my bus ride today, after such a long while! -

168: Woodlands Interchange to Jln Kayu right!
103: Jln Kayu to Yio Chu Kang Rd
136: Yio Chu Kang Rd to Upp Serangoon Rd
153: Upp Serangoon Rd to Hougang Central Interchange
Int: Hougang Central
107: Hougang Central Interchange to Hougang Ave 10/2
*Cross Road*
062: Hougang Ave 2/10 to Hougang Ave 6
027: Hougang Ave 6 to Changi Airport right!
Int: Changi Airport This is not an interchange, but yes, I changed bus here! There is another interchange
036: Changi Airport to Orchard Rd
123: Orchard Rd to Tiong Bahru Rd
033: Tiong Bahru Rd to Alexandra Rd
Please tell me any part that is wrong, include sequence of services, places of transfer and the place where u cross the road[/b]
Clue 7: I took my second and fourth buses to an interchange (different ones of course).
Clue 8: For my second bus, 3 other services could have also gone to the same interchange. It just so happened that that particular bus service came first. So I didnt have to wait too long. But normally for that bus I would have to wait for a long time before it arrives. So I was quite surprised it came first. Just lucky i guess!
Clue 9: Woodlands was my third interchange.
Clue 10: My last bus home could have been 64 instead of 33, but I would have to alight at another location, which I forgot to do. 64 only meets this bus service at this particular bus stop, and no other bus stops (in this direction at least).
Clue 11: The is one bus which I took for only 2 bus stops.
I will provide more clues later -
I have been thinking and decided to invent this game. Hope you find it as fun as Cluedo.
The idea of this game is fairly simple. I will specify a boarding stop and an alighting stop. You must try to think of a combianation that can bring you from boarding to alighting stop. However, you are required to report at a specified stop once anywhere in the journey.
Whoever can pay the least fare wins. However, there are some rules you have to abide.
Restrictions:
1) You must take at least 10 buses during the whole journey. No repeat taking of the same bus service is allowed.
2) You are allowed to take Express buses only once.
3)You cannot change buses on the same road twice. For example, you boarded Sv 10 from Tampines Int, you alighted along East Coast Rd to change sv 12. Then you change into Sv 32 on East Coast Rd itself. This move is not allowed . You need to wait until Mountbatten Road if you want to transfer sv 12 into sv 32.
4)You can be given only 1 chance to cross the road to transfer another service. No walking to a nearby stop is allowed.
5) Time is not important. There is no right or wrong answer, whoever can produce the least fare wins.
6) No trains or cabs or hitch hike is allowed.
7)Fare is calculated according to below: * No rebates are qualified and all to be paid as adult fares in ezlink card. Only sv 11,35,90,91,191, 200 are counted as NAC fares. No price cap/concession is applied in this game.
