TWS4793 SG

Already noticed from one of my visits to Tampines that SBS 0914P is on S Shift (bus comes to Tampines at 4+), then saw your siggy. The other one (SBS 0996C) is actually taken from your siggy.

TWS4793 SG

Practically correct for most of your answers.

1. Correct.
2. Correct. The one that actually suffered more damage is SBS 0420Y. When I checked on SBS 2803M the next day, which was on Express 518, the back of the bus was totally undamaged, save for some slight scratches.
3. Correct.
4. Correct.
5. Correct.
6. Correct, but there are more to this answer.
10. Correct. 'SBS 233 X' got it in his siggy. I also know that SBS 0914P does S shift first before I saw the siggy.
11. Correct, but actually it also did Service 18 too. Took this bus for two/three consecutive days from the weekday of the IMF onwards.
12. Seems that it's quite hard to notice there. Actually, it's SBS 0591L. If you walk closer to the bus, you may notice that one of the 'S' is handwritten.
13. Yeah, it cannot be determined but I noticed that she would normally drive SBS 3664R.
14. I give you the full one point for this question, but actually I'm asking for the first bus to be in the show. It's SBS 0896H that came first.
15. Check my rides. Normally the bus stop I always go to is opposite to the Community Centre. 'choww' also once told me that I may be familiar with the place. FYI, the bus stop I frequent is equivalent to T2 in the 225 timesheet.

The answer is SBS 2807C. If you have seen my rides and watched drama shows on Channel 8, the answer would be out, but I will also let you off for this question.

You got the highest so far - 10 points!
