Why would you be either a complete bus fan or a complete idiot to take 145 from Jln Toa Payoh Opp. Trellis Towers to Commonwealth Ave Commonwealth Station or vice versa?

Because taking 105 would be much faster.

Best is to take 153 to Queensway and walk.

Correct.

Part B: How many times the distance of 105 is the distance for 145 on the abovementioned route?

I do feel that having such a subject is redundant for Singapore. You should have a look at the university courses to see what courses are there, which many can actually land you a job in the transport operators.

If you're talking about "send what bus on what route", you can omit this in most cases.

A bus is still a bus when the company is big enough like SBST. The differences between the buses, be it fuel consumption or what have you are dimunitive on paper. This applies only to buses of the same category, eg SD/DD, WAB/Non-WAB.

If you can make your life simpler, why make it complicated?

nenepokey SG

List the buses where the number of fare stages of the two directions vary by more than 1 fare stage.

one of them is svc 21

But knowing all the bus routes in Singapore would put you in a much better position to be a route planner. =)
