last SG · 2009-03-21T21:54:09+00:00

Tampines Int. A = 8 B = 28 C = 31 meet along new upper changi road for B/C meet along upp paya lebar road for A/Bthere is still somemore missing informatio...

service_238 SG

Let me guess...

A/B= 196/197
J = 966
L = 59

What do you mean by 'within the outer ring road system'? Do you mean that the pairs of bus stops lie along the outer ring road system or along any road that is enclosed inside the outer ring road system but outside CBD?

A and B are wrong.

J is 966
L is 59

Your words in bold are correct.

you didnt state that K is a svc plying thru the northeast earlier. as a matter of fact you did not even mention that the service has many SWTs.

well then it has to be 158.

I state before anyone started posting their answers. The only edit in the main question is the insertion of G's answer. I stated earlier that it has many SWT trips, not many suffixes. 158 only has 7 trips each for 158A and 158B. if you still feel K = 158, then answer the remaining clue that is pertaining to K

"2 buses from this service does supplementary trips on 2 seperate services. K meets A & B at a road near an MRT station and a fire station. A & B will go straight while K turns left after meeting. Though they meet at this road, K & A/B do not call at any bus stops together."

D is 30. Estate in common with E is Taman Jurong.
E is 154. Intersects with H(155) at MacPherson Estate.
H is 155.
I is 135. Extended to AMK Interchange which has a lot of jump bus services. Used to loop at MacPherson Estate but now only goes one-directional.

All correct. Don't spoil market la lolz..

service_238 SG

Remaining 5 services only...

You are given 12 bus services - namely A thru L.

A terminates at a western Terminal and goes thru the CBD
B terminates at a western Terminal that is not the same as A, and goes thru the CBD as well
C terminates at Toa Payoh.
30 D is a pan-island service with extensive run time.
154 E is a very long route, serves many schools and once had the most models ever permenently deployed on a service.
F has a varient service.
240 G is a long feeder service
155 H used to operate from Somapah Interchange
135 I used to loop at Macpherson Estate
966 J terminates at an Interchange in the north (Woodlands)
K has a famous Shortworking Trip, and terminates in the North-East
59 L terminates at an eastern Terminal (Changi Village)

A, B, C, 30 D run parallel to serve 3 pairs of bus stops somewhere within the Outer Ring Road System, but outside the CBD area. Of the 4 services, 3 will turn right while the 4th one turns left at this junction.

A & B are identical in their routes as they meet and run parallel 3 times, one of which is mentioned in the earlier paragraph.

30 D & 154 E operates from the same terminating point (Boon Lay) in the west. They serve one estate before branching out on their own routes to serve other parts towards the east.

F also serves the same estate as 30 D & 154 E but originate from a different terminating point. It serves a bus stop that is located in a vehicle park.

240 G serves 2 estates (Boon Lay and Taman Jurong), has a run time of about 55-60min full route on average.

155 H intersects 154 E for 5 pairs of bus stops in this estate (Macpherson). 155 H also intersects 135 I and 966 J at 2 different places (135 at Siglap Rd/Macpherson Estate/Upp Aljunied Rd, 966 at Still Rd).

135 I was extended to terminate at this place (Ang Mo Kio) that has many jump bus services. It intersects 155 H at a road (Upp Aljunied Rd) that does not have DDs plying.

966 J has a crossover from another service 963 in the morning. It runs parallel with 59 L for a portion of 966 J's express sector (PIE between Kallang Bahru and Eunos Flyover). It doesn't call the same stops as 59 L though they share the same express sector. 966 J meets 155 H at a junction (Sims Ave/Jln Eunos) nearest to an Eunos MRT station. 966 J meets 135 I for 2 pairs of bus stops near a famous shopping centre (Parkway) that shares the same name of a healthcare company (Parkway Holdings).

K has the downroute that is the reverse of its famous shortworking trip in the evening. 2 buses from this service does supplementary trips on 2 seperate services. K meets A & B at a road near an MRT station and a fire station. A & B will go straight while K turns left after meeting. Though they meet at this road, K & A/B do not call at any bus stops together.

59 L meets C and H for a pair of bus stops in a housing estate. Other than C, H and 966 J, it does not meet any of the remaining services at all.

List the services that I'm talking about. Where possible, give answers to all the names and places I have said in the clues above.

Scania SG

Ok answer answer answer for the longest bus route to ever start from Toa Payoh Int, its the Comfort Superliner special holiday service to Genting Highlands, boarding berth is 231/Turf City berth, was on for two years during December Holidays before it was stopped. Boarding time was at 7 am (or thereabouts) on selected days. Trip is around 400 km long.

I decided to make mine

A is a loop service that makes a U turn at Road M.

A intercepts B at every bus stop along Road M that B plies on.

C is a service that intercepts B at two different points for 2 stops.

D is a service that starts out with C.

Both of them intercepts each other for many bus stops from the start till they hit O, a medical institution, where they branch out on their own.

However, D will intercept with C for 2 another bus stops again before going on and terminating at the same interchange as B, interchange P.

E is a service that serves the west with the far west, adopting a jump bus system and only intercepting with F and G.

F is a WAB service. F's majority control has a full ADD fleet on Weekdays. It intercepts G, H and I on Road N.

G is the only service that ends at interchange Q with buses from depot R and the other services A-L except G do not terminate At Q.

H is a service that has renowned crossovers, it also intercepts I on three different roads, S, T and U. H is known to intercept many of the services from A-L. Both ending points of H is not shared with any other service A-L.

I is a service that meets with all services A-L except E.

J is a service in which the direction of its route is somewhat like H. Ending point V of service J is non-boarding and alighting.

K has the same ending point as J for one end and with G and I for the other. It passes by service J's ending point, V, too. K will intercepts F for 1 stop on 1 direction and 3 stops for the other at this area.

L is a loop service that intercepts K at Road W that doubledecker cannot ply through. It intercepts H, I and J for 1 stop at its looping point.

Find Services A-L, Roads M, N, S, T, U, W. Medical Insitution O, Interchange P, Q, Depot R, Ending Point V.
