Rego suffixes

kuekj SG

I was taking a look at the list of regos in SGWiki and I noticed this (perhaps already widely known) trend:

Every 10 regos of SBST, one alphabet will be skipped;
every 100 regos of SBST, six additional alphabets will be skipped.

The SBST alphabet string goes ZXTRMKHECAYUSPLJGDB.

How about TIBS (SMRT)? There are only ranges provided there, but I like to get a detailed breakdown of each and every bus rego.

The URL is not valid leh. Anyway, I think Tamago posted a link to an earlier thread on vehicle regoes in Singapore in his "Newcomer's Guide".

here is the archived discussion: http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=58195&page=1 from there u can read up on how to calculate the suffixes.

every vehicle prefix series in singapore will use the same 19-alphabet cycle suffix, just that the first alphabet i.e. SBS1Z will vary with different prefixes. that said, TIB uses "ECAYUSPLJGDBZXTRMKH", which means TIB1 is E.

and thus, for every jump from 9 to 10, it will skip 1 alphabet;
for every jump from 99 to 100, it will skip 8 alphabets;
for every jump from 999 to 1000, it will retain the same alphabet.
tis applies for every series in singapore, be it SBS, TIB, SBT, SCR, SFS, PA, GV etc.

i regret that the script that can generate the code has been taken off and it might have been lost forever, but hope someone can come up with the program to generate the suffixes one day. Smile
