Deja vu right.....bro.For so many years now we've been talking about "SMRT should get DDs/bendies", until now we still get very nice SD chassis.You tell me.

TIB770T SG

NGxx3F A24 is a bendy chassis while NLxx3F A22 is a rigid chassis. Please, I want more Citaros for SMRT!

Both A23 and A24 are bendies, but the A24 is slightly longer than the A23 (17980mm vs 18750mm).

A24 is NG313, A23 is NG363.

SBS 1000U SG

Oops. I thought NG363F were rigids. But anyway, if SBS Transit is to order buses for fleet replacements, they can chose to buy MAN NL323Fs. No more purchase of Citaros for SBST please!

I hope SBST will buy more Citaros, since they have already improved the air con system for the next 150 buses. Even much better than SMRT ones now.

SBST already purchase 300 Citaros. It will be really the end of the world if you get SBST to buy more Citaros. Instead, I began to think that my reply to your post on 25 Nov last year is right. SMRT should really purchase some more Citaros.

It should be for SMRT, but if SBS Transit want MAN buses, they can buy 200 NG363s to replace the MK4s.

SMRT should stop buying bendies from now onwards. Change it to Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 and Enviro500 (3-axles).

SBS 1000U SG

Why SMRT can buy Citaros and SBST can't buy??? What kind of logic is that???

SBST has more buses to cater the loads, especially using double deckers. They don't have to worry. And SBST Citaros carries more people than SMRT ones.

If the passenger capacity of Citaros is so small, then SMRT shouldn't even be buying Citaros because they can't fit in overcrowding demands due to their shortage of buses, which instead they should buy more Scania K series or OC500s instead.

No. SMRT should continue to buy bendies. I want Mercedes-Benz Citaro Gs, MAN NG313s and MAN NG363Fs.

You might as well buy the buses yourself and sell it to SMRT for $0.

SMRT can buy Citaros because they only have 51 of such buses, but SBST have 300 by the end of the year. The issue is not about the capacity. Though I agree with you that SMRT should buy Scania K230UBs, but now the era has changed over the months and everyone's view will change as well. I'm now in a mood of Citaros and MAN bendies for SMRT.

Sorry to spoil the party, but Scania no longer produces the K230UB and MAN no longer produces the NG 313.

In the latest variants, Scania produces the K280UB, K320UB and K360UB rigid buses and MAN produces the NG 323 or NG 363 articulated buses.

Errr... NO.

A23 and A24 are the same, but A23 is an integral product (i.e. chassis & bodywork) whereas A24 is chassis ONLY.

How do you explain the K230UBs appearing on the Changi Airport shuttles? Do you know when they were introduced into service?

SMB228X SG

SMRT should get some Citaros out of the 550 Citaros!

SBS 1000U SG

SBST fleet is bigger, so they can have the capacity to get more Citaros. 300 is only a small percentage in their 3000 fleet. So should get more Citaros as well.

Well, you can say that is your mood but it is more logical for for SMRT to get more MAN A22s now since MAN bus is their new distributor now. And bendies isn't applicable to our infrastructure and operation changes from now, so will be better that SMRT switches to MAN doublde deckers instead. Double deckers are in long run better for SMRT.

SBS2601D SG

Actually I wouldn't mind getting 1000 Higers, Yutongs, King Longs and watching some folks writh in pain here.

So long as they dont use Cummins engines and they dont explode in my face.....oh and good aircon. I can live with the rest.

In the 1st place,i thought ppl were saying that they were K270UBs??

When did K230UB stopped production?

Airbus330Captain SG

I think you should just stop your rubbish in this forum. Go and get yourself scrap with the f lousy scania buses. Seriously irritating and annoying to some of us.

That is why we need more Citaros! :D

Bus Stopping SG

When did K230UB stopped production?

It has not stopped production, but the 230hp engine is no longer being offered in Australia for their K-Series Citybus.

>> Scania K Series 4x2 and Engines (Australia)

However, the engine is still being produced and offered to other markets.

>> Scania 2012 Engines

So it's still possible to have a Scania K series UB type chassis and mount a 230hp engine on it, which is refered to as K230UB.
