Repost with sv that were answered correctly:

You are given 15 different SBS Transit basic bus services: A – O, Institutions P and Q, Terminating Point R, Institution S

A (31) has a Special1 schedule which will operate when Institution P (ITE College East) is on holiday.

B has added 3 buses to its overnight parking terminating point since January 2009. Both A (31) and B meet at this MRT Station and does not meet each other anywhere near thereafter.

C (158) is a service that used to have 2 shortworking varients (158A/158B). It intersects A (31) near an MRT station (Kallang) that is different from the previous paragraph.

D operates Holiday1 twice a year. It passes by Institution Q and passes by A’s terminating point. It does not intersect B at all but one of its terminating point, R, is within 600m from 2 of B's bus stops.

E is a pan-island service. It serves Institution Q and goes past a place where you can find a Xin Wang Hong Kong Café. It shares the same terminating point with two of the other unknown services A-O.

F went past four Carl’s Junior Outlets. Two of which had since closed down. It passes by a place where there’s a speed camera. It has a Holiday1 schedule created in late May 2012.

G (159) goes to two polyclinics (AMK and Sengkang). It used to loop at the estate (Sengkang) that one polyclinic is situated at. It shares a terminating point (Toa Payoh) with A (31).

H is a service that once upon a time does not have supplementary buses in 2004. Currently, it has 4 supplementary buses serving 3 supplementary routes from both terminating points, making it the only service in Singapore to have buses leaving its parent service within a short period of time at both terminating points.

I (81) is a service used to have a supplementary bus that served a route (70) that is not under its controlling depot. It was removed when a certain service (577) was introduced. (You are not required to answer which service this is) Currently, it has 2 supplementary buses (9801 9843) serving 2 different routes (552 553), both from its sole terminating point (Tampines). One of its supplementary services intersects A (31) near I's (81) terminating point (Tampines).

J (3) has a P shift that operates at least four trips of a SWT (3A) after the evening peak. It currently has one supplementary buses that does another service (37) during AM Peak. It shares one of its terminating points (Tampines) with A (31) and I (81) .

K used to adopt a jump bus system but was removed in 2009. It has since added split shift buses and its an all-single deck service. It loops at a point with B.

L is a service that operates Special1 schedule when Institution S is on holiday. It used to have 2 different supplementary buses to 1 supplementary service, at different times of the day. The supplementary service suffered a reduction in frequency after the supplementary buses were removed.

M used to have a supplementary bus from another service on its SWT. It was removed when M’s schedule had a revamp. Due to this revamp, another supplementary bus that used to serve M was removed as well. Its SWT route was amended twice ever since it was extended to terminate at this place. It shares the same terminating point as G

N (8) operates Special1 schedule when Institution S is on holiday. It used to have supplementary buses from O (10) before 2004. Thereafter, these supplementary buses were removed when O’s (10) variant service (FFW10e) was introduced. It currently has one supplementary bus to a Premium Service (544).

O (10) used to be a real pan-island long route but one of its terminating points was amended twice to its current one (Kent Ridge). It has a variant service (FFw10e) and used to do supplementary trips on N (8). Coincidentally, one of its terminating points (Tampines) is shared with 3 other services here (31 81 3).

Another attempt:

B: 24
D: 105
E: 14 (Bedok - Clementi)
F: ?
H: 74
K: 27
L: 15/69 (former more likely)
M: 156 (Sengkang - Clementi)

Q: Singapore Poly
S: Temasek Poly

E has to share the same terminating point with 2 other services, but right now there are only 2 Clementi services, so I think F should be a Clementi service but there don't seem to be one with a varient service and passes by 2 Carl's Jr. Unless H is 147 which fills up 1 more Clementi slot leaving F to be terminating elsewhere, but the description for H does not seem to fit 147. Hmm.

Another attempt:

B should be Sv 22.. (meet Sv 31 at tampines mrt only)..or Sv 25..(both got overnight parking at AMK int)(but if it is sv25, then my answer for K is not valid).. Sv 24 meet Sv 31 for some distance..

and D i also think it is 105, while K is Sv 82....(loop at serangoon central, at a point with Sv22),

while F i think is Sv 97 which have a variant service and have a holiday 1 schedule created in late may and pass by AYE.. (beside 197/198).. The other speed camera area is holland rd which got sv 7 /105/123/174.. but Sv7 dun have new holiday schedule Sv174 got new schedule effect 9th july though..

E should be Sv 14.. (but it pass by more than one Xin Wang cafe?) while H should be Sv 165.. (crossover to 534 (2buses)/557/285 in the am peak...).. so make it 3 clementi service (if u include M as Sv 156)

Simply.90 SG

B should be Sv 22.. (meet Sv 31 at tampines mrt only)..or Sv 25..(both got overnight parking at AMK int)(but if it is sv25, then my answer for K is not valid).. Sv 24 meet Sv 31 for some distance..

and D i also think it is 105, while K is Sv 82....(loop at serangoon central, at a point with Sv22),

Wa if B is Sv22 then I think the question is very ambiguous. Taken at face value I'd think both services loop at the same point and thus my guesses. Sv22 didn't come into mind because it doesn't really loop (go back to its sole terminating point). The other kind of 'looping' that comes to mind is the double loop likes of 155/60.. But your answers are very reasonable and well thought-out.

TIB1218R SG

My questions:

9) Name the feeder service that once parked at the end on berth at the old Jurong East Interchange in the late 1990s'.

SBS7123J SG

Bingo.

service_238 SG

B should be Sv 22.. (meet Sv 31 at tampines mrt only)..or Sv 25..(both got overnight parking at AMK int)(but if it is sv25, then my answer for K is not valid).. Sv 24 meet Sv 31 for some distance..

and D i also think it is 105, while K is Sv 82....(loop at serangoon central, at a point with Sv22),

B is not 22 because it only meets A (31) at Tampines Int. What i'm looking for is bus stop that is next to the MRT station. In addition, B is not the first batch of services to get overnight parking in AMK.

D is 105

K is not 82 as 82 currently practices jumpbus. it supplements 84 but 84 does not have a SWT. Even if its asked in 2009 (the year i set the question), 11 does not have SWT also. It would not be coherent with B's answer if K is 82.

F is 97 - good logic there using holiday1 schedule as well as speed cameras and varient services.

E is 14 - it passes by the Marina Square (this one dont count also can), Cineleisure and East Coast Xin Wang HK Cafe.

H is 165 - at the time i set, it was 4 buses supp out from Clementi, 1x 533, 1x 557 and 2x 285. Now its 3 buses from clementi, 1 bus from Hougang, 1x 557, 2x 285, 1x 534. The question was modified to suit the current state. However, it is still true that all 4 buses leave the parent service between 0725-0800hrs.

Another attempt:

B is correct - 24
D is correct - 105
E is correct - 14
H is not 74
K is correct - 27
L is either 15 or 69, please choose one.
M is correct - 156
Q is correct - SP
S is correct - TP

M - 156

Yes. M is 156

It shares the same terminating point as G (159, Sengkang)

N (8) operates Special1 schedule when Institution S (TP) is on holiday. It used to have supplementary buses from O (10) before 2004. Thereafter, these supplementary buses were removed when O’s (10) variant service (FFW10e) was introduced. It currently has one supplementary bus to a Premium Service (544).

Hint : Both services number totals up to 18.
Hint : The 2 services stated are NOT in the West.
