ula_man SG

More heads are better than one...
To freakbuses' quiz, I find it puzzling to solve.
My views:
Hint 4: Used to be either SMRT/SBST , now change over
Hint 5: Serangoon Rd or some construction site
Hint 6: Most confusing.. Based on the hint 6, eg 139= 1+3+9=13, which is the first portion of 139.
If apply this formula, only got the following possibility: Sv 2,3,6,7,8,9,10,30,40,60,70,80,90,100,119,139,159,169,179,189,199,200,300,400,800,900
Only sv 189,300 was transferred from SBST to SMRT.If want, sv 179 too.
I have no idea....

Your quiz is super the weird Confused
You took TIBS189 from Commonwealth Ave West to Kent Ridge Terminal/West Coast Rd - Bef Clementi Rd.

ula_man SG

But Kent Ridge is a terminal , not an interchange Question

Based on Hint 6, hint 10 and hint 17, i assume no terminals and jcs are involved. Im left with sv 7,30,60,139,159,189,

You wouldnt use feeders, i presume. So, its one of the above 6 services.

service_238 SG

I know, but his quiz seems to fit alot of 189 answers. I'm also puzzled at how come Kent Ridge is not an interchange? Confused

leeJZ SG

No feeders? Kent Ridge is just a bus stop with a bus park.

ula_man SG

Hint 1:Bt Batok Int( SMRT infested)
Hint 2:Sv 77 (Meet at Int and Ave 3), Sv 106 (int and Clementi), Sv 506 ( Meet at Central and ave 3), Sv 173?
Hint 3:Clementi +Kent Ridge terminal
Hint 4:SBS
Hint 5:OCBC Warehouses near West Coast?
Hint 6:189= 1+8+9= 18 9
Hint 7:East, if u called it
