Whatever it is,Please don't restrict the 1st gear until no power..BCs leg painful you know.Got to agree to this one . The 1st gear feels so torqueless like t...

The NUS one can easily overtake our NL323F

I am refering to the SBST NUBs.

There's no SBS Transit NUBs, but there exists a Changi Airport NUB ambulance.

There's no SBS Transit NUBs, but there exists a Changi Airport NUB ambulance.

but why isn't SBST or LTA ordering any NUD (Double Deckers) in addition to ADL's E500s, MAN A95/A39 and Volvo B9 Wrights? in comparison MAN A22s, Mercedes Benz Citaro, BYD K9 and ADL's E200s (future).

Because there isn't a 3 axle NUD product, and also because the KUD is meant to be fully low floor and has the ZF AV132 portal axle to achieve that. Your question should then be, why didn't SBS or LTA buy more KUDs.

SMB145B SG

someone said that the K310UD is given when SBST bought over 1k of K230UBs. so what went wrong? favouring Volvos over Scanias? KUBs underpowered?

Rigids

A22s < KUBs/OCs < Taros

DDs

A95s < KUDs < E500 < B9TL

Given that even in HK, a bigger DD market than Singapore, the KUD wasn't successful in getting large orders, there must be something about the KUD that puts the KUD at a disadvantage over its competitors. What it is, I don't know.

Maybe those 5 cylinders vibrate?

hong kong has many hillside roads to climb up. so if u look at the DD bus they had most of them has powerful engine. so maybe KUB might have problem for that.

You're wrong,HK or any other countries doesnt tune their 1st gear to be torqueless like Singapore did..I got see SG1054R climb ECP without much struggle too unlike the other buses.HK B9TL and our B9TL also same engine spec.Their E500 and our E500 also same spec,Their A95 and our A95 also same spec..Its all ECU tuning that make the difference.Singapore vehicles got restriction for all the top speed.

I get only 190kmh on a Singapore Proton Wira 1.5 but get over 195kmh on a Malaysian one.

their ASC (Euro IV) and ASCU (EEV) do ply mountain routes (e.g. 28B), and they climb them effortlessly and feel more powerful than our KUB's. but they do vibrate in the same way too though the tougher bodywork dampens it lol.

Still curious about the opinion of each user here so...

Given the current models in SG for BCM which would you want the LTA to take since it is most probably only taking one?

1. A95

2. E500

3. B9TL

((Btw this is also my sequence from most to least desirable. You can do sequence or just choose one.))

A95 for me..

It'll be great if LTA orders E400..

E400 for what svc?

SMB145B SG

E400 is 10.2m; bi-axle

by comparison, Volvo B9T 2 axle is 10.5m

I haven't replying lately, so I will just arrange in order:

A95 > B9TL (Batch 4 onwards) > E500

give them bendies instead of E400s ...

Wrights and E500s is a waste.

carbikebus SG

If LTA still keen on Euro V buses then they should considered the facelift Enviro 500s.

If they are still keen on Euro V buses, ADL wouldn't stand a chance.
