freakybuses SG

Appears that you all have only the answer 189 in mind... actually, it's 169!

Hint 1: Boarded a bus of a company where there are majority of buses are from the same company.
Woodlands Reg Int.
SMRT: 169, 178, 187, 856, 858, 900, 901, 903, 911, 912, 913, 925, 926, 960, 961, 962, 963, 964, 965, 966, 969
SBST: 161, 168

Hint 2: Will meet 4 other bus services from the boarding stop for 2 stops at least.
856, 858, 965, 969

Hint 3: I like to see interchanges & terminals along the route.
Yishun Int, Admiralty Rd West Ter

Hint 4: The bus I took used to be under another company.
169 - Taken over in 1983!

Hint 5: Most people on this bus during evenings are indians.

Hint 6: If I add up the digits of the bus svc I take, it will be the same number as the first number(s) of this bus svc.

SBST: 39

Hint 10: No JCs seen along the route.
Add on: Along my route. 169 only passes YJC after my stop.

Adding on...
Hint 11: As mentioned in hint 2, 3 of the services ply on expressways (Includes Jln Toa Payoh).
858, 965, 969

Hint 12: As mentioned in hint 2, 2 services are of same series as each other. Same for the other 2.
856, 858 = 85x series
965, 969 = 96x series

Someone related. Linked to hint 18.

Hint 14: Lots of trees.
More trees = More wood. Wood on land = Woodlands

ula_man SG

Too easy hints in Day 3 ? I don't want to drag too many days... besides the hints are quite hard to solve.

Anyway, heres the assessment of your answers:

H1: WRONG boarding stop. Very Happy

H2:There is no error here.

H3, 4 :Correct.

H5: Incorrect road .

H6: I admit there is an error here. This GE bus-stop doesnt have my service. Hence, 251 and 254 is out. My post is wrong for H6. Take note.

H8: It is a factory name.

H9: 2 factory names.

H10:Sorry Seng is another factory name. Seng is sitting down!

H11: Good.

H17:Tanjong Gul Camp

H18:Not 254 but...

Re-posted for loudmonkey:

Instead of posting my bus ride today, i thought why not make it into a game?

I dont know if a similar game like this was played before, but I hope it will stimulate interest, like cluedo.

I give bus numbers, u guess the route. Something similar to the posting of daily bus rides thread. (hope u get what I mean)

I took these buses today:
27, 33, 36, 51, 55, 62, 103, 107, 123, 136, 153, 168, 966.

Needed: The sequence of buses that I took, and the name of the road where I changed buses.

Clue 1 (or rather a giveaway): Starting bus:51
Clue 2 (also a giveaway): Ending bus: 33
Clue 3 (giveaway): Name of starting and ending road: Alexandra Rd (which is home)
Clue 4 : During my bus ride today, I went to 3 bus interchanges.
Clue 5: Except for one instance, when I crossed the road to take a bus at the opposite bus stop, I always board a new bus at the same bus stop.

Eg:
139 Alexandra Rd - Bt Merah Int
16 Bt Merah Int - Tiong Bahru Rd
(cross the road)
195 Tiong Bahru Rd - Commonwealth Ave
186 Commonwealth Ave - Alexandra Rd

Starting Bus: 139, Ending bus: 186, Starting and Ending Road: Alexandra Rd

Simple ya? Anyone up for a challenge?
Mr. Green

Really enjoyed my bus ride today, after such a long while!
