Does Marina Centre Terminal count as an interchange? If it counts, I would say Marina Centre Terminal is my answer.

array88 SG

Services A and B both serve towns C (where Interchange C is) and D (where Interchange D is).

Service A is Service B's number reversed. (e.g. 19, 91)

Both Interchanges C and D were recently expanded. One of them was a new separate interchange while the other was an expansion of the current interchange.

Service A terminates at Interchange C and E and passes by Interchange D. I Interchange E will be expanded soon. Service A does not use any expressway, but goes underneath 2 expressways, neither of which are part of Service B's route.

Service B terminates at Interchange D, passes by another interchange F before heading onto an expressway to Town C, and passes within walking distance of Interchange C. It then continues its route within Town C before entering another expressway.

Find:

Services A, B

Interchanges C, D, E, F

A - 72
B - 27
C - Tampines
D - Hougang Central
E - Yio Chu Kang
F - Compassvale

New quiz:

At a bus stop X in town M (where Interchange M is), there are 3 basic bus services, A, B, C, all from Interchange M and under the same operator. All of them use the exact same route from Interchange M to bus stop X. At the bus stop opposite X, there is another feeder D which uses a much more winding route to Interchange M.

Services A and C both use Expressway E, but neither use the same entrance nor meet each other on the expressway. Service A and B duplicate each other from Interchange M to the expressway entrance (with a very winding route which both services are notorious for). A enters the expressway while B crosses over it into town K, where it terminates.

In town K, Service B stops at a major transfer stop right after expressway E, then turns right. At the first bus stop after turning, there are many bus services, but all of them turn left at the next junction, except Service B which goes straight. It is the only bus service left there. It then turns left to another road where it meets Service C again, but only for 1 stop and in opposite directions.

Clue: Services B and C are also notorious for empty double decker buses.

A - 3
B - 83
C - 85
M - Punggol
X - Punggol East, Riviera Stn Exit A (65239)
D - 381
E - TPE
K - Sengkang

Find all unknowns.

Nice work, but it was not the answer I had in mind. And note that I used "fastest link between the central regions" instead of "bus interchanges", so there are faster links between Punggol and Sengkang, such as 43 and 119.

The answers that I give are usually in Hougang, Sengkang, Punggol, AMK, Serangoon, Yishun, as I'm not so familiar with buses in other towns.

SBS3004X SG

A - 3
B - 83
C - 85
M - Punggol
X - Punggol East, Riviera Stn Exit A (65239)
D - 381
E - TPE
K - Sengkang

Oops, I forgot to state that there are only services A, B, C at bus stop X, and only A, B, C and D opposite.

Anyway, all are correct except for D and bus stop X. D is 386 and X is Punggol Central Blk 649 (65261).

SBS3004X SG

A - 72
B - 27
C - Tampines
D - Hougang Central
E - Yio Chu Kang
F - Compassvale

Correct.

SBS3004X SG

- Services A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J have consecutive service numbers (in this order).

- Services (A-1) and (J+1) do not serve any MRT stations along Line X, although service (J+1) does travel alongside the MRT tracks of Line X for a few bus stops.

Find all unknowns.

Is service I the only service of the 10 services to pass by Station Y in close proximity?

Also by "MRT tracks", do you mean MRT tracks only or can (J+1) travel above the tunnels of an underground MRT line?

(1) Yes, Service I is the only one.

(2) MRT tracks only, no tunnels.

SBS3004X SG

(1) Yes, Service I is the only one.

(2) MRT tracks only, no tunnels.

I was thinking of 165-174 and BBT-AMK, until I realised 173 doesn't pass by Yew Tee.

New quiz:

Services A and B share a common interchange C in town C. They duplicate each orher in town C before splitting up at road F.

Both services meet again at a junction near MRT station D but do not share a common bus stop there. They would later meet again at Road G in town D.

Service A would later make a right turn from Road G into an entirely new estate, while B continues on Road G.

Service B turns from Road G into Road H and later enters Town E, where it meets A for the last time, but in opposite directions.

Service A turns from Road H back into Road G, while Service B continues down Road H and serves another bus stop before turning left.

Service A terminates in town E. Service B only uses road K in Town E, and does not make any turns there apart from entering expressway Z at the border of Town E and another town. Service B proceeds on expressway Z to the town where it terminates at.

*Road G is actually 4 roads with different names, but are linked straight with each other. E.g. Hougang Ave 2 and 3.

Clue: Road G also has an entrance to Expressway Z, and later ends at a T-junction with Road K.

Clue: The towns are in the east, north-east or central of SG.

Best guesses:

A - 159

B - 88

C - Toa Payoh

D - Ang Mo Kio

E - Sengkang

F - Braddell Rd

G - Ang Mo Kio Ave 5, Buangkok Green, Sengkang East Rd, Punggol Way

H - Hougang Ave 4

K - Punggol Rd

Z - TPE

Two SWT, A and B are introduced around the same time and start at the same stop C. They share the same final destination name D (so the destination will be D + rest of area). However, the route to the destination is very different, and has no means of direct linking.
